An Attempt To Tip The Scales Tab

by Bright Eyes


This is my first tab and I did it all by ear.  It could get a little shaky at the one D
and G bridge part bc it might be A and G I just guessed.

                       
Did you expect it all to stop
                    
at the wave of your hand?

                              
Like the sun is just going to drop
                   
if it's night you demand.


                           
Well, in the dark we are just air
                            
so the house might dissolve.
                                                 
But once we are gone, who is gonna care
                           
if we were ever here at all?


            
Well, summer is gonna to come
                              
it's gonna cloud our eyes again.
                      
There is not need to focus
                                 
when there is nothing that it worth seeing.

                           
So we trade liquor for blood
                            
in an attempt to tip the scales.
                          
I think you lost what you loved
                     
in that mess of details.


                              
They seemed so important at the time
                             
but now you can't even recall
      
 any names, faces, or lines.
                             (55777)
It is more the feeling of it all.


               
Well, winter is going to end and
                                             
I'm going to clean these veins again.
                          
So close to dying that I finally can
        
start living.

The lyrics came from that other dude so thank him not me...
