This song is off White Lies' amazing debut album 'To Lose My Life'. Its very simple to
Enjoy.
Standard Tuning:
EADGBE
Clean sound, slight distortion during the verses, maybe add a little Reverb to get a
sound as to the track.
Verse 1:
Just give me a second, darling, to clear my head
Just put down those scissors, baby, on the single bed
The sand in the hour glass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold, wind, the rain and the snow
To find you awake by your window sill
A sight for sore eyes, and a view to kill
--------------------------------------------
Interlude:
(Use whammy for the rest of these chords)
--------------------------------------------
Verse 2:
I broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion “ I love you so much”
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
You whispered where are you?
I questioned your doubt
But soon realised you were talking to God now
-----------------------------
Pre-Chorus - E... play an open E chord once with heavy distortion, then turn distortion
and back to clean once verse has started.
-----------------------------
Chorus:
--(No guitar but u can play the bass notes)--
You got blood your hands
And I know it’s mine
I just need more time
So get of your low, let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance, waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low, let’s kiss like we used to
--------------------------------------------
Interlude (whammy again):
--------------------------------------------
Verse 3:
I looked in the mirror, but something was wrong
I saw you behind, but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice then come gently “It’s your time to go”
That record you played, as you beg for forgiveness
“Don’t touch me” I screamed
I’ve got unfinished business
-----------------------------
Pre Chorus - E... play an open E chord once with distortion, then turn distortion off
back to clean once verse has started.
-----------------------------
Chorus:
You got blood your hands
And I know it’s mine
I just need more time
So get of your low, let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance, waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low, let’s kiss like we used to
You got blood your hands
And I know it’s mine
I just need more time
So get of your low, let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance, waiting for me
I will wait for you
So get of your low, let’s kiss like we used to
Enjoy.
