Pulling Teeth by Newton Faulkner





          Pulling Teeth







Intro: B, B6, B7, B6 x2

B
We just fight to apologize
B
We break up and then change our minds
          E
But it's alright
                 B
I don't mind at all
B
I don't mind at all

B
Disagree then we compromise

Tooth and nail over truth and lies
           E
But it's alright
                B
I don't mind at all
B
I don't mind at all

E    F#    B
It's no sin to shed your thick skin
E    F#
Throw it in the bin
B
Show me who you really are
E       F#
I'll do the same
B
To hell with the games
E       F#                   B
Why don't we both just open up
          F#  G#minor 
We make it so hard
             E           B
When it's so simple underneath
            F#    G#minor
If we just stroll on
              E                  B    
The ground is right beneath our feet
B
It's taken
F#        G#minor   E  
It's taken so long
B                          F#
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
G#minor
I got it wrong
                   E
Instead of pushing back
      B  
I'll pull you into me


The rest is basically the same except for the bridge*

Spoken question, a screamed reply
Compliment then we criticize
But it's alright
I don't mind at all
I don't mind at all

It's no sin to shed your thick skin
Throw it in the bin
Show me who you really are
I'll do the same
To hell with the games
Why don't we both just open up

We make it so hard
When it's so simple underneath
If we just stroll on
The ground is right beneath our feet
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me


E
*Running out of hope
G#minor
Running out of time
C#minor
Don't you dare let go
B
When it gets a little hard

E
Looks like no one's home
G#minor
See you hiding in the dark
C#minor
'Cuz your heart is glowing

We make it so hard
When it's so simple underneath
If we just stroll on
The ground is right beneath our feet
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me

So long
It's taken
It's taken so long
Oh it's been like pulling teeth
I got it wrong
Instead of pushing back
I'll pull you into me

I'll pull you into me
I'll pull you into me
I'll pull you into me

Tuning: B
        E
        B
        E
        F#
        E
This tuning is very awkward, so Newton's DGDGAD tuning is also correct, just two steps
higher. However, if you choose DGDGAD then then one chord is different, as shown when you
get there.

H = Hit the guitar above the sound-hole with your wrist for a bass thump.
S = Slap the side of the guitar under the neck with your left hand.
X = Slap the string with your thumb against the fretboard.
