back to intro and so on, listen to song for strum pattern and what not.....
************For those of you without capos************
move all of these chords up 2 frets and the only difference in playing is that on the
chord of the verse and the first chord of the chorus (they are the same chord) you will
all of the strings on the 2nd fret and then play the D and G strings on the 4th fret.
way of playing it, but on the end you wont be able to do the hammer ons and pull offs,
i didnt tab b/c its easy enough to figure out.....
I am alive
I am alive
and that is the best that i can do
you told me you lied
you swore you were mine
i took you back a thousand times
talking a town
you've been around
if he is the man you want the go
but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
my love is dressing me like a clown
you are an ass
a snake in the grass
and he seeps from out your pores
and baby it's time
to pay for my crime
nothing i say can make you mine
you either sing it in key
or run into me
i can fake it as good as you
but tonight we'll leave
all our spirit songs
we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn
my love is dressing me like a clown
but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
margot dress me like a clown
tonight we'll drink
into an early grave
we'll laugh, we will not be safe
someone has dressed us all like clowns
darling it's sin
where do i begin?
putting the contact lenses in
you say the lights
scurry like mice
reflect in the streets
and your blue eyes
out of the roof
wait to grow up
turn me around and lock me up
baby you are an ass
a snake in the grass
vanity oozes out your pores
Oooh, ooooh
Oooh, ooooh

version 2
Tuning:Standard
Notes:
1. I usually play the C's and the first Dm of each passage as barre chords, with the
Dm in first position.
2.There are some rhythm syncopations; I tried to put the chords above exactly where they
be played in relation to the lyrics, so use your ear.
3d. This is not exact, this is how I play it; the intro, for example, could be taken a
of ways. Go ahead, make up your own.
