I'm not the hero I could be but not the dog i was

color my fast-fading heart
|      |   %   |      |      |
people laugh at anything and things just fall apart
|      |      |      |      |
kind of common cry kind of common living lie
|   | -   |      |      |
you know the shape my breath will take before i let it out
| - - |   - |      |      |
stand like you did when i was beauty-marked in your eyes

now they'll sleep alright

now eyes burn circles in the dark
|      |   %   |      |      |
and when the mirror talks to me i listen witha my heart
|      |      |      |      |
kind of common cry kind of common living lie

Wasn't that a spiffy song?

(if you have the lead then please post it!)> "Now They'll Sleep", Belly

Changes:Here's the revised edition of my tab for "Now They'll Sleep" by
Belly.  I've Figured out the beginning as best as i could with an
acoustic guitar.  I'm working on Tom's part with the D chord.  The lead
stuff should be easy enought to figure out, but i'm not good at that stuff.
Can someone tell me the effects settings on  the song?
