Flakes Tab

by Mystery Jets


This is just my simplified version of the tabs already here which I find much easier to play.

Basically you're just using F, C, Am and G all throughout. Listen to the song and you'll 
the rhythm right.

        
   This song
                              
Is one I never thought that I'd play
                   
But if you want me gone
                      
There are kinder ways to say
                            
   So long than spitting in my face

             
They don’t teach these things in school

They just lay down the rules
                                        
Which are there for you to break
                                       
Which are there for you to break

            
    If I’m wrong
                                  
Then dust me off and put me in my place, but
        
Drop a bomb
                                    
Shall you blow me away without even a trace?
                            
I’ll be gone and I won’t give chase

       
‘Cause when you’re in pieces, you pick up the bits, and nothing fits, and the wind blows
             
You away
                               
Oh, the wind blows you away
                               
Oh, the wind blows you away
                               
Oh, the wind blows you away

[vocalization]

       
    I pray
                                                
There will come a time when I think of you and I smile
       
These days
                              
Everything seems to last only a while
              
Remember the names
                             
For the day when we’d have a child

          
But the trouble with dreams, they’re not what they seem, ‘cause when you awake, they 
through your fingers
                
In flakes
                                                 
They fall through your fingers in flakes
                                                 
They fall through your fingers in flakes
                                                 
They fall through your fingers in flakes
