Losing My Religion ================== (intro: Dm Am Dm G)

O^Gh, li^Amfe it's bigger^Em, ^Emit's bigger that you and ^Amyou are not me The lengths that I will ^Emgo to, the distance in your e^Amyes ^EmOh no I've said too ^Dmmuch, I've said it a^Gll That's me in the c^Amorner, that's me in the s^Empotlight, losing my r^Ameligion Trying to k^Emeep up with you and I ^Amdon't know if I can do i^Emt Oh no I've said too ^Dmmuch, I haven't said en^Gough

I thought that I heard you ^Flaughing, I thought that I heard you ^Amsing ^Am/B ^Am/C ^Am/E I ^Fthink I thought I ^Dmsaw you t^Amry

same as before

Every whisper of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded foal, oh Oh no I've said too much, I said it all Consider this, consider this a hint of the century, Consider this, a slip that brought me to my knees, pale What if all these fantasies come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try

But ^AmThat was just a dream ^CThat was just a ^Gdream

same as before

That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But That was just a dream Try, cry, fly, and try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream Dream

Her world collapsed early Sunday morning. She got up from the kitchen table, folded the newspaper and silenced the radio. Those creatures jumped the barricades and headed for the sea, sea. Those creatures jumped the barricades and headed for the sea. She began to breath, to breath at the thought of the sea she would sit and wisper to her child, belong. She held the child and whispered with calm, calm, belong. She stood and whispered to her child, belong. She held the child and whispered with calm, calm belong. Those barricades can only hold for so long. Her world collapsed early Sunday morning. She took the child, held tight, opened the window. The breath, this song held on and knew, knew, belong. Half A World Away =================

Intro: Am G D Em

On the Am chord hammer on to the D string (second fret) in rhythm with the song.

A D7sus2 looks like this: (E) -0- I could have called it an Am(add D) since the low A (B) -1- is in the bass note I believe. However, It leads into (G) -2- a G chord, and musically, a D is what you'd want to (D) -0- call it. (A) -0- (E) ---

Notice that the majority of this song follows the pattern: G / D / Em / Am D7sus2 It's really cool how the progression starts out on Am but in the middle of the song, the verse starts pretty much on G.

T^Amhis could be the s^Gaddest dusk I've e^Dver seen ^Em Turn to the mira^Amcle

same as before

To go it alone And hold it alone Haul it alone And hold it To go it alone And hold it alone Haul it along To go it alone And hold it alone Haul it along And hold it Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall

This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to the miracle I alive My mind is racing As it always will My hand is tired my heart aches From half a world away Texarkana =========

Country Feedback ================

This song is in 2/2. It repeats these 8 measures over and over and over for the entire song.

Intro: Em G D C G D Cmaj7 /

...and so on..

You come to me with a bone in your hand You come to me with your hair curled tight You come to me with positions You come to me with excuses Ducked out in a row You wear me out, You wear me out We've been through faith breakdown Self hurt Plastics collections Self help self pain EST Psychics f*** off I was central I had control I lost my head I need this I need this A paper weight junk garage Winter rain a honey pot Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged Hotline wanted ad Crazy what you could have had It's crazy what you could have had It's crazy what you could have had I need this I need this

Me In Honey =========== Here is a neat lick to simulate the groovy bass to Me In Honey. Only play the four strings indicated in the tab. It's basically a C# chord that's been modified a bit. The h stands for "hammer-on".The numbers stand for frets. This is my first attempt to write compu - tab. (Hint: barre the 4th fret)

see "lick"

I sat there looking ugly looking ugly and mean, Knew what you were saying, you were saying to me Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me Seems a shame to waste your time on me Seems alot to waste your time on me ^G#Left me to love, G#7 lick What it's doing to me

There's wild honey in this world Baby there's honey so sweet If you got to do what you do, do it with me Seems a shame to waste your time on me

^G#Left me to love, G#7 lick What it's doing to me

Knocked a silly knock flat, sideways down Those things they pick you up, turn you around Say your piece, say you're sweet for me If it's all the same, share the pain with me If it's all the same, save the shame for me

^G#Left me to love, G#7 lick What it's doing to me

Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me There's a fly in the honey, baby's got a baby with me That's a part, that's a part of me

^G#Left me to love, G#7 lick What it's doing to me ^G#Left me to love, G#7 lick What it's doing to me

What about me What about me
