Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
[( )x3( )x1]x2
(Your actually suposed to pluck the strings but i dont know the exact order because the
is too loud in the beginning and it drowns out the guitar.)
And they don't see
that my smile is thin
And it's peeling off
inch by inch
And when it goes
My whole disguise
will slither off
before your eyes
Verse 1
(same as intro but strum 3 times as triplets and double up on the last chord of
line.)
[( x3 x3 x6)x3 ( x3 x3
x3)x1]x2
And I'll stand nude
My eyes roll out
Reveal my skull
A cave of doubt
My surgeries done
You gave the knife
I need you here
to save my life
Chorus
( x8 x8 x8 x8)x2
So please stay in tonight
Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes
And say goodnight
Just stay at home
Strip me down to the bone
I can't be alone
Verse 2
Same chords as first verse but play harder until you get to the part "an all
schools" strum once until the next chorus.
And they don't see
The nagging stress
That beats and beats
inside my chest
And kiss my heart
To keep it safe
Where no one else
can make it break
And all the schools
they sent me to
The upper class ants
march two by two
A 4 - . - 0
for each brave boy
Well I won't f*ck with them
an--ymore
Chorus
Same
Verse 3
Same as all the others
And the days go by
I still believe
There is someone who
Can comfort me
And the days go by
I still believe
There's a lonesome place for me
Solo
( )x3
when u hear the variants which will be on Am and G just strum the low notes of Am and
high notes of G. Play around with it and you can make its sound the same without even
power chords.
Final Chorus: First time that you use (Am F C G) strum once then palm mute. The second
strum only twice with no palm mute. and then repeat the chorus one last time but play the
8 strums on each note.
So please stay in tonight
Pull the soul from my eyes, pull the soul from my eyes
And say goodnight
Just stay at home
Strip me down to the bone
I can't be alone
