10 - "Statistics"
Attic to Eden (2009)
I only took the time to tab this in Drop D, which most people would think is easier, and
works.
I only did by ear so it may not be entirely correct but, i just wanted to play to the
somehow!
It's so catchy.
They might play this in Drop C, but for now i choose to play it in D ...
^___^ I'll try to be as helpful as i can.

Lyrics:
[0:06] You're a wolf, you are.
Dressed like a fox,
Got me tied up in knots over you
[0:14] But I think that I'm just a flavor you crave on instinct,
'Cause you don't feel ashamed,
But it won't make a difference.
[0:28] ...
[0:30] I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I love when you inflict it on me.
[0:47] You can take my time,
'Cause after all, well,
The earth's just a ball that revolves around you.
And all my friends and family try to warn me,
But like a moth to flame,
Darling, lead the way,
'Cause I'm afraid of change,
So meet me in your bedroom.
[1:19] I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
I can't get myself off of...
[1:48] I just caught you like a disease.
It's terminal and I'm going down.
But you're a faith that's worse than death
And I gotta get out of this mess.
F5 G5
You're a wolf, you are.
D5
You are.
[2:15] (Only a statistic to you.)
[2:24] I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
A5
I think I'm addicted to you.
Enjoy playing, it's quite a straight-forward song (mind you this is a rough tab) and so
catchy..! :)
oh, personally my favourite, no doubt. Thanks!
