xtabbed by theredisreal Great tune, real simple but with some slightly awkward hand stretches. Try to keep the B-string ringing open throughout the intro and verse without hitting the high E Intro- strum this chord (actually its just a note, B, with a doubled higher octave) ----- --0-- --4-- --x-- --2-- ----- Verse - Always a B chord, with a moving note All chords are strummed for 4 bars "The lazy way..." B5 Bsus4 Bmaj B(note) --------------------| --0---0---0---0-----| --4---4---4---4-----| --4---2---1---x-----| --2---2---2---2-----| --------------------| Chorus (and outro) The first three chords get 4 bars each, the last 2 just 2 bars "Ah-oh, Is it not me...?"

Am I not folded by your touch? The words you spoke I know too much It's over now And not enough Is it not me? The damage you hold inside your blush? The load you towed You showed it up It's over now And I'm insane Verse Wild spirits winds from out your chest Collides with world and wilderness It needs a gentle hand to call it home Now surfs the sun and scales the moon And winds the waistband of her womb All eyes ablaze the day you break your mold Chorus Is it not me? Am I not culled into your clutch? The words you spoke I know too much We're closer now And said enough Is it not me? Am I not rolled into your crush? The road you choose Unloads control See it take me so Go on throw this stone Into this halfway home Outro
