Tuning: D standard (Or Standard) (OR Drop-D, but I wont tab that. Too much effort for
something you can deduce yourself)
First off, I realized that this may require a little more effort than the average person
wants to give, but realize that this took me well over 2 hours to tab. I encourage
others to post specialized versions of this tab, ie. for "Guitar", "Chords" or "Bass",
as I would if I had the time.
I made this as a highly versatile tab. I wrote it where you can figure it out in
Standard (not bass) and D-Standard Tunings (Drop-D for Bass also)
Anyway, The notes over the lyrics are the exact notes, NOT notes relative to
tuning/capoes. If I were to do that, the tab would become incomprehensible)
Finally, the runs (Like the one after "times we should've spent) are for the bass, and I
wrote what to do in the guitar chords ^.^'
P.S. if you read the tab, it'll sound a bit redundant, because most people will hurry to
the lyric part and give this tab a single star because they're confused and scared.
ENJOY!
If this is played on Bass (D-Standard (Because it's either recorded like that or in
Drop-D (And if you want to play in in drop D, Ignore everything after the "OR"; They're the
transposed notes for D-Standard))),
the notes are:
D# - 1st fret, top string
F - 3rd fret, top string
Gm - 5th fret, top string OR open, 2nd string
A - 7th fret, top string OR 2nd fret, 2nd string
A# - 8th fret, top string OR 3rd fret, 2nd string
If playing acoustic guitar, or those types of chords, it's (Un-capo'ed, still D Standard):
D# - F
F - G
Gm - Ab
A - (Anytim you see this in a run or chords/notes, just play the whole run as an Ab)
A# - C
Still Acoustic, Standard, Capo-3:
D# - C
F - D
Gm - Em
A - (Anytim you see this in a run or chords/notes, just play the whole run as an Em)
A# - G
Electric (Rhythm guitar, at least) D Standard
( ) = Optional, I Would'nt play at places like the begining

THE ACTUAL TAB:
Gm
And this is my last remaining filter
D#
On my last remaining words.
A# F
It's leaving the taste of something bitter on my tongue.
Gm
I'm leaving a ladder full of reasons
D#
Along with a line that starts to blur
A# F
Into a page that says you faded away too young.
D# F Gm
'Cause you're leaving something short of innocent.
D# F A# A
Gm F
I'm still thinking of the times we should've spent.
D# F A# A
Gm
It's as if this form of treason crawled up deep inside your head.

If any other piece spoke louder.

To tell the world about the coward that re-

And claim no blood on your hands.

If I had any other heart beside my own,
We might've left you cold.
Gm A# F F

[ooo--ooo-------]
Gm
I'm handed a book about instructions
D#
On when I should know to go.
A#
And tracing my fingers down the binding,
F
I get cold.
Gm*
'Cause I've been this awful shade of
D#*
Lonely since your reasons left the room.
A#*
And I'd see everything get warmer
F*
If you decide to follow suit
D# F Gm
If I could paint the town with all your good intent.
D# F A#
A Gm F
I'd leave these walls as red as my eyes could've been.

A Gm
While picking comfort for my father for a place to rest his head.
D# F [hold]
But Tallahassee will stay grey outside instead.
[holding] D#
If I had any other heart,
A# F
If any other piece spoke louder.

D# A#
Fuses to stand,
Gm F
And claim no blood on your hands.
D# F Gm A

If I had any other heart, if I had any other heart beside my own
D# A#
If I were king of the world

And I could build you a day

And smile just to rip it all away.
I want to place a memory in your head
That screams about regret.

If I had any other heart.

If I had any other heart.
