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.

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
