DAMSEL IN DISTRESS - Neck Deep
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Bas Nieuweboer
E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard E
So, the original is played in Drop C, but after listening for a while I figured that the lowest power chord
that they are playing is an F, so this song is perfectly playable in Standard E. If I'm wrong about this, and
the lowest chord isn't an F, please shoot me an email and I'll try to revise the tab.

Verse
The verses are just a C, G, A, F and back to G power chords, but because it's pretty difficult to hear the
strumming pattern I made a chord diagram.
C
We'll stay up late
G
I'll end up sleeping on the floor,
A
The people here are nothing new
F
I'll see how I'm feeling...
G
Nah, fuck this I'm leaving
C
Conversation is wearing thin,
G
I don't even know whose house this is,
A
I kinda wish I just stayed home,
F G
But Friday night is boring on my own

C G
Now you're at home I guess you're alone again,
A
It's 5am as she stumbles to bed
F
Plays out thoughts in her head,
G
Falls asleep then wakes up wishing she was
C
Dead and disgusted with those who she's trusted,
G
To just be fucked over and left in the dust,
A
So she'll cling to her bottle.
F G
And hope that tomorrow she won't sit and wallow again

Damsel in distress on a steep decline,
C G F
When all she wants is someone to keep her warm
C G
She's 21 next year but she's lost her mind,
F
She fucks it up almost every time she tries,
C G F
She grabbed my hand as I walked her to her door
