Vice Verses
Vice Verses -- 2010
This is a new song by Switchfoot that won't be out until 2010 but there is a live
of this song on youtube.
This song has a LOT of repeating in it -- don't let the tab scare you -- it's not as bad
it looks!
The song has the exact same picking pattern through almost the whole thing.
This pattern is shown the section below called "Main Riff."
You'll notice throughout the verses and chorus that this pattern seems completely out of sync.
But in reality it's not, but I merely aligned the words of the song with the actual
notes.
So hopefully it's not to hard to follow along to!
Thanks and enjoy!

Interlude - Same as Intro
Verse 2 - Same as V1
The wind could be my new obsession
The wind could be my new depression
The wind goes anywhere it wants to
Wishing that I learned my lesson
The ocean sounds like a garage band
Coming at me like a drunk man
The ocean tells me a thousand stories
None of them are lies
Chorus
Bridge
Bm Asus2 E/A
Let the pacific laugh
Bm Asus2 E/A
Be on my epitaph
B7sus4 E/A
With it's rising and falling
B7sus4 E/A B7sus4
And after all, it's just water
E/A Asus2
And I am just soul
B7sus4 Asus2 B7sus4
With a body of water and bones
Back into Main Riff
Water and bones
Verse 3 - Same as V1 & V2
Where is God in the night sky?
Where is God in the city light?
Where is God in the earthquake?
Where is God in the genocide?
Where are you in my broken heart?
Everything seems to fall apart
Everything feels rusted over
Tell me that you're there
