The Empyrean
John Frusciante
tabbed by: Stan Antheunis
I was trying to find out some chords to this and I thought I'd share.
I hope I can be of some use.
I copied Unreachable from an other tab which had a good rating and I checked it and it's good.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

BbmRemember all you've foFmrgotten
GbI can't Dbput those AbthoughtsBbm away
EverytGbhing I've tDbhought's in my Abhead to Bbmstay
Now Ebmwhat do we Abget for trying to Dbfollow to a Gbtee
EbmAll the insAbtructions you Dbgave to Gbme F
Did you ever notice
That it's for you that I've lived my life
Every time I had fun you were on my mind
I've lost my perspective
I've gone off the wall
Really not sure if I'm needed here at all
Hey
This is my last shot
I'll always be less that my other selves
So I feel like I'm competing with someone else
Who I could never beat in a million years
I was made to think that we would wind up round here
EbWill we ever Bbget together Cmin a song Ab
EbWill you ever Bbtell everybody bout Cmright and wroAbng
EbWill you let evBberyone in on Cmthe meaning oAbf life and death
EbDo you need mBbe or are you waitingCm for my last Abbreath G
Then repeat:
Cm – Eb – Bb – Ab – G – G – G – G
-Heaven
Am
Well I Dmspent the night in Amheaven
DmI wanted to Amfigure it Dmout for myAmself Dm Bb C
I Dmspin around the Amfortress
You Dmnever know the Amcurrency that Dmwe all rAmun on Dm Bb C
BbWe run Fon, we Gmrun Dmon
You once told me
You keep a billion frequencies on your person
End the night with channel four
You don't see me looking you up when I'm here
We live fast cuz time won't last
See me freezing like the bum I am
From where you start there's endless information drilled into your eyes
Well, I don't need protection
One life begins, another dies
Bad timing
I won't last
Man, that's the facts
It is a feeling that will never pass
And you Ebknow you could be taking us Dmfar Cm Gm
When I sEbpeak to you Dmagain through the Cmstages of Gmpleasure
Well, I Bbdon't have my Fown faceGm
So Bbc'mon and be rFeplaced Gm
There's a Bbfuture that's Fcalling Gm
But I Bbdon't see it cFoming Gm
No, IBb don't have myF own facGme
So c'Bbmon and be repFlaced Gm
BbThere's a futuFre that'Gms calling
But I Bbdon't see it cFoming Gm
No, I Bbdon't see it cFoming Gm
No, I Bbdon't see it cFoming Gm
-Enough of Me

I`ve Dhad enough of Anew toGdays
For once DI`d like to Ago anotherG way
I sDpeak my last Awords and Gthen

All Dthat I`ve won AI have Glost
Each passing Dmoment cuts me Bmoff F#m A E
BmWell, I don`t liEmke to waste a cBmhance but they`re ovAerfloEwing
BmWhat I don`t do Emwill get doBmne by soAmebodEy
BmWhen I was fiEmve I saw some pBmlants unAgrowiEng
BmWhether seen forEmwards or baBmck they`Ad keeEp going
They`d Bmkeep going
If the Gseasons which Dchange were all Astill Em
It`s so Geasy to Dsee life would Afail Em
WhaGtever slips Dout of our Ahands Em
Will Gfind its way Dback to us Gonce Bmagain
If the seasons which change were all still
It`s so easy to see life would fail
Whatever slips out of our hands
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Once again

-Central
Verse 1
Im Amcentral to Cnowhere thinking Fof sweeping it Dmclean
When we Amchoose to go were Closing more than Fjust our surrounDmdings
Ive Amgone around the Csides of this uFniverse as it sDmtands
OutAmside the limits of aCll existence; Fwhere light never Dmends
Chorus
FWe should be Cgrateful to the Dmgods
FWhoever theyre Creal to they Dmare F Am C Dm
I Fvalue my Cplacement as in DmHell
ReFmember that Cmoment that I fDmell F Am C Dm
Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
Anything that could one day be is as real as what Im saying
If something is nothing it must not be something in any possible way
Lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet
Switch below with above all the way up into infinity
Chorus
We should be thankful who we are
Whether we know ourselves or not
Walking alongside myself
Neither of us listens very well
Am – Am – G – F x4
Dm – Dm – Dm - Dm
Im Amdreading a time that Gis not Fnear
As a Amman on cross I Ghave no Ffear
I Amcant believe these Gwords Im sFaying
DmYou gotta feel your lines
You gotta feel your lines
End on Am
-One More of Me
Along with its title, it’s really similar to Enough of Me
DNow that the Aday is Gcome
I Dsee myself Aas everGyone
DI am what’As all arounGd me
No DNothing, it Ajust cannotG be
DFeeling has cAome from the Gsun
DLike most eveArything and everGyone
What seems lDost is free fArom theG force
It slowly Ddestroys us and kills Bmall mF#matter oAf E
BmWell we don’Emt control tBmhe chance thaAt plaEys with us
BmAnd we get exiEmstenceBm back byA hurting Eothers
BmWhen we Emgo the otherBm way, its ourAselveEs we hurt
BmBut who pushesEm on throughBm eventually wAill sEee every moment’s first
BmEvery moment is first
GWhat’s gone wilDl never comAe back Em
But it eGxists when Dyou think of Ait Em
GWhat is anytDhing aAnyway Em
But a Gseries of Dthings running tBmhrough your brain
GAll of the Dfucked things you Ado Em
All the Gproduct of what’Ds happened tAo you Em
WhatGever you Dcreate from Alove Em
Is a Ggift from a Dplace which some Acall aBmbove
There’Gs only thDe forces ofG hate aBmnd love
GOne breaks things Ddown and one Gbuilds Bmthem up
Bm something
-After the Ending
F#mPain runs Dthrough Alife D
F#mPleasures'D other sAide D
F#mFear, someD say, gives us such long Alives D
F#mLeads uDs where we Adrive D
F#mTime will Esoon be Dborn
It is F#mstarting Eat the Ddawn A Bm F#m
And the Aworld is C#mmoving toBmwards F#m
Things like AopposC#mites and Bmwars F#m
And one Aknows to C#mhear birdsBm sing F#m
There was Anothing til C#mthe beginnBming
And the Awater C#mfrom my Bmeyes F#m
Is beAcause I C#mcare who Bmdies F#m
Although Adeath is C#mtransforminBmg F#m
There is Anothing C#mafter the endinBmg
Everything is eternal
Nothingness does no exist
No thing has ever become nothing
And nothing has never become something
What is has always been and will always back
Enjoy!
