WHOLE SONG:
INTRO:
Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - || x3
Dadd2 E7
I'm drifting down
Dadd2 E7
While you scream past my head
Dadd2 E7
Fire away, fly away
Dadd2 E7
I wonder what you said
Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||
Dadd2 E7
And i'm watching you
Dadd2 E7
Bare your teeth in a growl
Dadd2 E7
Throwing your way
Dadd2 E7
Back and forth 'til now
Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||
B7 D
And i'm here in oblivion
A
I don't feel anything
B7 D
When, it's time to begin again
A B7 D (E7)
I won't remember anything at all
[Here the main pattern appears reversed, with the E7 before the Dadd2, not after]
(E7) - - | Dadd2 - - ||
E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - || x2
E7 Dadd2 E7 Dadd2
Could it be something that i said
E7 Dadd2 E7 Dadd2
That's making you put poison pins in my bed
E7 Dadd2 E7 Dadd2
And i would feel sorry if i could
E7 Dadd2 E7 Dadd2
So fire away, fly away, if you think you should
E7 Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7 Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7 Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
Dadd2 Dadd2 E
'blivion, 'blivion, i'm...
(End of song)
Hope you enjoy! It's a lot of fun to play and sing.
Peace, Lukewa
