LYRICS & MUSIC: Stephen & David Dewaele TABBED BY: Luke Veasey (In Part) I've seen several versions of this song tabbed out on the net and they're all either Wrong or incomplete so I cannibalized the bits that were right and filled in the Missing gaps and so I give you the most accurate guide to playing this song (at least until someone corrects my mistakes). This song uses drop D tuning (DADGBe). You'll need to listen to the song to get the timing. I've included the lyrics as a general outline to show you what goes where. I recommend a light/moderate distortion (gain 4) and a guitar with humbuckers set to bridge position (eliminating any unwanted extra bass) this even sounds good on a small practice amp also if you have a Casio keyboard one of the preset rock rhythms will give you a good approximation of the drum machine at the begining of the song. So get out your guitars and pastel coloured seventies suits and have fun.

Just repeat different sections as necessary I haven't shown you where everything goes because it could confuse things but its pretty is easy to see where it all fits. Lyrics ****** I seem to have a history at missing the point at this stuff apparently very absentmindedly I care but never enough for you Tiiiiiiiime-to set the record straight Tiiiiiiiime-to stop communicating please anticipate And I'm trying to comprehend the things I write and I'm living the lie that I cannot satisfy Much against everyone's advice I'm still trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying Faith cheated me of everything but I laughed until I stopped publicity very, very openly I sat alone with my thoughts for ... you Tiiiiiiiime-to set the record straight Tiiiiiiiime-to stop communicating please anticipate And I'm trying to comprehend the things I write and I'm living the lie that I cannot satisfy much against everyone's advice I'm still trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
