Dots And Dashes Tab

by Dealership


This is the way I play it, sounds pretty close to me:


(Intro:    )

               
Stay where you are,
                    
Don't jump on any planes.
                    
And I'll keep on kicking myself
                        
For having let you get away.

                            
But I will say it's circumstance
                   
And point to the vein.
                          
Chalk it all up to the weather
                    
And not to your disdain.

               
I'll yell from afar
                        
If I need to call you names.
                      
Forgo the thought of killing myself,
                       
Instead I'll let you take aim.

                     
And force your declaration
               
Of what we became.
                         
Sure, on paper it looks good,
                    
If you ignore the stains.

                                 
It's the little things that set me off.
                                          
Your favorite shirt is someone else's cloth...

(Interlude:    )

                
So stay who you are,
                            
Though some would call it strange.
                  
And I'll keep on kidding myself
                      
That I can make you change.

                   
You know more than anyone
               
My need to deceive.
                           
And while I can fool the world,
              
Mostly I fool me.

                                  
It's the little things that set me off,
                                   
Like walking by our favorite coffee shop,
                                 
Or seeing your haircut at the bus stop,
                                           
Or hearing someone cough just like you cough.

       
Just hold
   
 moment.
              
Please, humour me.
     
I'm not
   
Reacting
        
Fanatically.
                          
And hear how my voice is a code
    
To you...
     
All Dots
      
And Dashes
      
Mixed up
     
In clues...

     
my love

It might give you a little insight as to when to change chords and how to make it seem a 
less... blocky, if you know what I mean. Hope that helps!
