Tough Tab

by Roddy Frame


From the Surf album.

			      		         
Slowly she dissolves me, in waves of her and leaves us blurred
                                                      
Her flow just enthrals me, I drown in her, she pursues the words
                                                     
Warm rain runs mascara, I laugh and say my “billion dollar babe”
                                                   
She looks at me like I’m her father, then hesitates and looks away
                             
This means ‘must try harder’
                                                                       
What you wanna go and do this for? Don’t you think it’s all screwed enough?
                                                         
Giving out the keys to your heart, now you really gone and blew that stuff
                                                                    
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why and your heart’s gonna die
           
and it’s tough.

                                          
Concrete and dry heat, music plays from another age,
                                              
I’m back in my old street, head over heels and under-age
                                             
Soft songs fade slowly, in and out like a sense of doubt,
                                                  
The earth shifts below me, and I forget what I was all about
                               
There’s feelings all through me
                                                                       
What you wanna go and do this for? Don’t you think it’s all screwed enough?
                                                         
Giving out the keys to your heart, now you really gone and blew that stuff
                                                                    
You looked in her eyes, you never wondered why and your heart’s gonna die
           
and it’s tough.

Feel free to hammer on the G (3rd fret) on the high E when playing C.
