The Tape Tab

by Annuals


Hey all!  This is my first tab ever.  The actual song features a piano 
accompaniment, but these are chords that, I believe, sound good with the vocals.  Enjoy!

Standard Tuning

                                  
I'd like to know you as a promise kept well
                    
A ballast of incessant dispel
                                
A stone in the water, a stillness in time
                                
The peace that I'd left home to find    ~
                   
To find    ~      I         ~
                       
To find    ~      To find   ~


                              
What must I say to keep you all day, any day?
                          
What must I say to change your mind
                           
Maybe if I could turn off the tape
                     
Rub the death from my face
                          
Head home, and forget all my songs
                                   
I'm changing the shape of this miserable place
                     
Maybe then, you'd wanna solve me


                                                
'Cause I'd like to tell you I've been dripping with sin
                                       
Your skiff left this beach once again
                                        
I turned from the water, not a thought in my mind
                              
Of the peace that I'd left home to find
             
I      ~       I      ~

                                  
And what must I say to keep you all day, any day?
                          
What must I say to change your mind?
                 
Maybe if I could stop


                                    
Turn off the tape, rub the death from my face
                          
Head home, and forget all my songs
                                   
I'm changing the shape of this miserable place
                         
And maybe then you'd wanna solve me


                               
What must I say to keep you all day, any day?
                         
What must I say to change your mind?
                 
Maybe if I could stop


~The End~

If you're not a fan of bar chords, then you can tune a half-step down and play 
the chords a half-step up. (G, C, Em, Am, etc...)  I hope this helps.
