[Em]In the empty place the soul stripped bare
Of skins and heart and I come a[G]part
In your icy [Bm]hands
I forget my [Am]role, [D]as I stare into your [C]soul
[Em]In the empty place you change your mind
You change your clothes you change your [G]pose
for a perfect [Bm]fit
I forget the [Am]cast, [D]as I stare into your [C]past
{soc}
[G]For a moment we're s[C]trangers
[G]For a minute you l[C]ook away
[G]For a second or [Em]always
[F]For an instant another [Em]day
[F]Such strange things you [Em]say
{eoc}
In the empty place we dress our wounds
Collect our coats, a window gloats
Above a street
I prepare my case, as I stare into your face
{c:Chorus}
Just one me one you
The world contains a few
Is it true, is it truly new
Are we through the stolen door once more
[D]Cut your life into the steel
Take your place behind the wheel
Watch the metal scene just peel a[A]way
[D]Don't forget me, don't regret me
Don't replace and don't upset me
But don't forget to come and get me some[A]day
[D]I was somewhere far away
But I knew I couldn't stay
German girls in an expo[A]se
[D]Sitting on an empty train
Staring at the winter rain
Going through the scene again and a[A]gain
{soc}
[Bm]Poor tormented [F#m]automan
[A]Giant pincers [E]for a hand
[Bm]Sinking slowly [F#m]in the sand [A] [E]
[Bm]Chrome injury [F#m]on his cheek
[A]Three days strong, [E]four days weak
[Bm]Listen as he [F#m]tries to speak [A] [E]
If only I could feel [D]
{eoc}
Falling down standing still
Always there's more time to kill
Flamingos startled in a shrill display
Don't forget me, don't regret me
Don't replace and don't upset me
But don't forget to come and get me some day
{c:Chorus}
If I [F]only wasn't steel
So [C]hard finding inspi[F]ration
I knew you'd find me [C]crying
Tell those girls with [G]rifles for minds
That their [Em]jokes don't make me laugh
[F]They only make me feel like [C]dying
In an unguarded [F]moment [G]
So long, long between mirages
I knew you'd find me drinking
Tell those men with horses for hearts
That their jibes don't make me bleed
They only make me feel like shrinking
In an unguarded moment
{ci:Bridge, play 2 times}
[D] [A] [D] [A] [Bb] [C]
So deep, deep without a meaning
I knew you'd find me leaving
Tell those friends with cameras for eyes
That their hands don't make me hang
They only make me feel like breathing
In an unguarded moment
Drew James offers tab for the bridge of this great song.
I can offer at least the bridge to The Unguarded Moment. Here it goes: (this is the part that Peter plays (at least on Goldfish)) E | 10-9----10-9----10-10----10----12----10 B | 10-10---10-10---11---11----11--13----11 G | 9-9-----9-9----10-----10------12----10 E | 10-9----10-9----10-------------12----10 B | 10-10---10-10---11-------------13----11 G | 9-9-----9-9----10-------------12----10 E | 10-9----10-9----10-------------12----13 B | 10-10---10-10---11-------------13----13 G | 9-9-----9-9----10-------------12----12 To get the timing right you really have to listen to the song (duh) but you just keep playing the xxx(10)(11)(10) instead of picking it the second and third times through. -Drew James (drewj@udel.edu)
[Em]Last year today seemed a long way away
And [C]ahead of me
A [Em]new face and street, people who meet you
In[C]stead of me
[B]They bring you, [A]they take you
[B]They own you, [A]they make you
[Em]Last year today you turn and you say
Here's a [C]dream for me
[Em]You close your eyes, the moon starts to rise
And you [C]scream for me
[B]I calm you, [A]I'm with you
[B]What did they [A]ever give you [D]
{soc}
[G]Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much [D]sense
{eoc}
Last year today a radio plays
Such a simple song
The music surreal and you almost could feeel
That there's nothing wrong
They bought you, they sold you
And all the things they told you
A [D]palm tree nodded at [Em]me last night Said [G]hey you look so [D]pale I don't know if it was the air or the [Em]breeze in my hair I had a [G]feeling I had [D]failed So down to the beach just out of reach The moon was being trailed A girl and a sailor and a hot dog trailer That's their holy grail The sand whispered heat and burned the feet Of gulls landing on the shore In the motel pool the waitress cools She doesn't ask for more She makes a wish she takes a risk She opens up her door Through human eyes she's a dolphin in disguise It's the last night of the war Somewhere far away there's another day And someone's getting out of bed She put on her face in the morning space She doesn't know she's dead Her [G]ruby lips can't [F]excite me any[C]more And [Dm]pain sprawls on the [F]chair, it's always [C]there And [Dm]he descends the [F]stairs, he doesn't [C]see The [Dm]sunburnt landlord [F]glares, for all the [C]people [Dm] He can [F]never be [C] [Dm]
[D]Oceanic lights are cleverly dim Blueish features in the lower reaches We raise out traffic flares to him Fishnet, girlish the red ones spark Holy arcs tracked in the dark The more I see the less I look Here's another name I took Listen! In the early morning air The remnants of their evening wear Branching off, the road winds east Deluxe locations just near completion Come dine with wine and oyster feast The pearls are real, have one for free They're washed up by the foam waved sea The more I look the less I smile Never mind let's stay awhile The fans blow secrets on the night Out of mind but not out of sight Is this where you live [D]Broken voices the nylon choir Nothing left to stoke that fire [F]All they own is on their tongues [D]They never see or wonder if [G]Is this where you [D]live [D]Thin dog's don't vie for bones Why desert just to be alone [F]All they own is on their backs [D]They can't believe it's you I'm with [G]Is this where you [D]live [D]Don't blush as I brush your touch No need for any speed or rush [F]All you own is on the floor [D]I'm buying all you're gonna give [G]Is this where you [D]live [D]Coffee stories the lying truth Electric lights don't help my youth [F]All I owned is on my face [D]Urbane mirror anger myth [G]Is this where you [D]live
[Em]I'm not exact but I'm [F]not insane
I [Em]clutched at someone in the [F]dark again
[Em]It's so hard to re[F]member her name she never [Em]said
[Em]It was in a story that I [F]wanted to write
[Em]The details weren't important, the [F]plot was slight
[Em]No-one asked what [F]happened that night she never [Em]said
{soc}
[Em]Get out of bed, [D]pull on a shoe
[C]I've got a notion what we [B7]ought to do
[Em]Here's a number you can [D]try to ring
[C]I'm still thinking about [B7]all the things she never [Em]said [F]
{eoc}
I parked my car by some memories
And told my story to the laughing trees
They don't know what's wrong with me, she never said
All the letters had the wrong address
Did you notice who cleared up the mess
What the date was is anybody's guess she never said
{c:Chorus}
[G]Don't open the door to [Em]strangers
[G]Don't let them in, to your [C]heart
They only [D]want to take you [Em]far from me [D]
[C]Don't open the [D]door to[G]night
[G]Don't trust the man in the [Em]windows
[G]Don't let him buy all your [C]dreams
He only [D]wants to make them [Em]all his own [D]
[C]Don't open the [D]door to[G]night
{soc}
[Bm]See the angry sea, it's a sign for me
[C]There's another shore, what we waiting for
[Bm]Feel the wind is sad, all the things I had
[C]Blown away and falling around [D]me [C] [Bm] [Am]
{eoc}
Don't leave your thoughts unguarded
Don't let them float where they will
They never tell me what I want to know
Don't open the door tonight
