Ache Tab

by Jawbreaker


All of these are of course powerchords, but I put them into major and minor chords, in case
you want to play this song on an acoustic or something.

Intro:
   
Let the C chord ring here and everytime it's played throughout the verse.

             
 I believe in desperate acts
                         
The kind that make me look stupid - look like a fool
                      
 Just keep reinventing myself
     
It's move or die - I change my form
                       
These days the people I love
                 
are spread so far apart - all out of reach
          
 It's a thin sheet
           
Across the face - cover me now

Pre-Chorus:
                  
 That's pretty old
                  
 That's pretty oooold
                
I never felt like this before
                
I say that every hour
                
I never felt like this before
                
I say that every hour

                                        
 It's never going to be like it could have been
                
Now it's just this room - window looks back
                   
 You're a big part of it
            
But I don't care - you take the lead
                            
And can you really see me now
       
Like I made me - made me anew
            
Just like anyone else - safer alone

Repeat Pre-Chorus.

Chorus:
   /      
 So right, so wrong
                       
Another winter's coming on
    /     
 You win, you lose
                 
It's the same old news - these things go wrong so often
     /   
 Pick up the phone
                   
And punch your home code
    /                         
 Somewhere, sometime let me make you mine

               
Lean your head on mine
         
Like you used to - used to your lean
                  
I don't mind if you're faking it - make it seem real
        
 I'm not asking the questions
                             
 I'm not demanding the answers now - take what you give
                                   
Right or wrong, just take me, lead me on
    
I'm going - I'm going

Repeat Chorus. End on C.

So that's it. Pretty simple like most Jawbreaker songs, but amazing nonetheless. Also like
most Jawbreaker songs. And this is one of their best, at least lyrically.
