------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TELLING LIES - Great Northern ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: mathd Email: dpietrobon@hotmail.com This is my first attempt at transcribing a song. I hope you like it. The chord names are fucked up. Intro: (In the acoustic version Bixler plays the Cm as major and only strums the top four strings. You can do the same if you like.) Cm Eb/ Bb Ab Verse: Cm Eb Step on the tracks Bb Ab Feel you're alive Cm Eb It's not any worse Bb Ab Closer in time Chorus: (all G's in this song are barres.) Eb Bb It's like a Per --- fect picture of F Ab Ordinary life Eb Bb You hit the bot --- tom F Ab To see if you're alive G Ab You'll be here some time G Ab Traces in your eyes Verse (as above): Bending backwards to look behind Pushing forward, killing in time You thought it would change in time You thought it would change your mind You thought you'd be first in line You thought it would change your life Chorus (as above): It's like a perfect picture of Ordinary life You hit the bottom To see if you're alive You'll be here some time Traces in your eyes Bridge/Refrain: (The strumming pattern changes here so listen to the record to get it down. This can be played many ways, the acoustic version is nothing like this.) Cm Eb Bb Ab Cm Eb Bb You'll be better off not wasting your time Ab Cm Eb Bb A sentimental heart is always last in line Ab G(barre) Bb A sentimental heart is always last in line Chorus (as above): It's like a perfect picture of Ordinary life You hit the bottom To see if you're alive Eb Bb It's like a Per --- fect picture of F Ab Ordinary life Eb Bb You hit the bot --- tom F Ab To see if you're alive F Ab To see if you're alive Outro: Cm Eb F Ab F Ab G Cm
