Matroshka Acoustic Tab

by Dredg


This is not intended to sound like the album. This is how I play a stripped down 
version of the song with a solo acoustic guitar.


      

                          
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
                                
For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me
                                          
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
                              
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said


                        
  Look another year went by,
            
They keep passing by,
    
But damn I didn't even die,
                      
Too old and slow I've grown,
                  
I fought time but lost


      


                                
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
                             
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
                          
To all above my head, and all below my feet
                                   
No that's one freedom you'll never take from me


                       
  Look another year went by,
             
They keep passing by,
    
But damn I didn't even die,
                      
Too old and slow I've grown,
                  
I fought time but lost


                                      
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
                                                 
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear


                       
Hold tight, hold tight


       x2


                                       
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
                                                 
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
                                       
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
                                                 
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear


                                 
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
                     
Look another year went by
                                              
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
