Song: Terminal Romance
Band: Matt Mays & El Torpedo
Album: Terminal Romance
Listen to the song for the strumming patterns, and where the song picks up and slows down.
(*Piano first verse but if you wanna play it on guitar it’s the same chords as the second verse)
Broke the winter’s back
And split for the Sun
Shot through the night from a frozen gun
With my eyes to the skies
And one foot to the ground
I really gotta’ go …Away
--
It’s a rough n’ tumble come down at the break of day
Sitting here staring out across the bay
With that sunrise in your eyes
There’s never really too much to say
But I really gotta’ go. …Away
--
Cause heartbreaks are uncurable
And I’m up all night
Stone-faced in New York City
Trying to set things right
--
She talks with her hands and she’s saying goodbye
Nobody’s gonna’ tell me why
They just say time, time heals all
But I don’t believe them
--
Cause heartbreaks are uncurable
And I’m up all night
Stone-faced in New York City
(let it ring)
Trying to set things right ……allnight
--
(*Piano verse, if you want to play same verse chords as above)
Now time rolls on religiously, swift and sly
Bullet train full of souls riding through the night
Everyone thinks they can slow it down
I used to be like that before I knew you
--
There ain’t nothing as dead as a dead romance
Nothing more alive than the city tonight
Storefront windows reflecting me
Where my steel cut heart can feel the electricity humm
Look at me now, whose gonna’ take me there
From this lighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder
--
(*Piano bridge, just C if you feel like playing on guitar)
She talks with her hands and she’s saying goodbye
Nobody’s gonna’ tell me why
They just say time, time heals all
But I don’t, I don’t, I don’t believe them
--
Cause heartbreaks are uncurable and I’m up all night
Stone-faced in New York City
Trying to set things right
Cause heartbreaks are uncurable and I’m up all night
Stone-faced in New York City
Trying to set things right
--
Oooo look at me now, whose gonna’ take me there
From this lighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder
All night…….night
--
She sang rock n’ roll with the devil,She sang rock n’ roll with the devil(x4)
(guitar solo)
(x3)
Cause heartbreaks are uncurable and I’m up all night
Stone-faced in New York City
Trying to set things…….right
