lyrics taken from lyricalcollective (http://lyricalcollective.wikispaces.com)
EADGBe Standard Tuning
(perhaps slightly flat across all strings, less than half step)
i palm mute all chords, strumming once per beat, but play however you think sounds good
Intro: E up an octave (0-14-14-13-0-0) and bend or slide up and down as the keyboard
until the bass and drum comes in, then stay on regular E (022100)
E A E
A Peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
E A E
Well I've been jumpin in all over, but my views are slowly shrinking
E A E
I was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
E A E
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
B E
While half of my fingers
A E
are dipped in the sand
B E A
You're progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli
B E A E
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice
A E B E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
A E B E
Just a few things are related to the "old times"
A E B E
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
A E B E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
B E
you're just an inside
B E
adjust your in sides
B E
You're just an inside
(repeat verse and chorus progressions)
I bet the monster was a-happy when we made him a maze
Cause he don’t understand intentions a-he just looks at your face
And then the bubbles exploded and tickled the bath
And all the birds were very curious all the fish were at the surface
Well half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night
Cause an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die.
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your inside
Adjust your insides. You're just an inside.
Screaming part (3:05) goes something like this..
Strum each chord on each scream
A E A E B A E A B E B E A E A E A E A E A B E
repeat verse
A E B E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
A E B E
Just a few things are related to the "old times"
A E B E
When we did believe in magic and we did die
A E B E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
B E
you're just an inside
B E
adjust your in sides
B E
You're just an inside
B E
Inside
B E
Inside
B E
Inside
B E
Inside
B E
Inside
Peacebone!
enjoy
