• Song:

    Futile

  • Artist:

    Porcupine Tree

  • Album:

    Futile

From their EP "Futile".

This song has lots of weird timings, so watch out for that.
I'm not writing them into the tab, because I value my sanity too much for that.
The song is in common time except the one bar marked otherwise.

   You were the one that made her cry
 D5               Db5               D7      D6
   You were the one that told her lies
 D5               Db5                    D7     D6
   You were the one whose brain moved in circles
 D5            Db5         D7       D6
   Neither an adult or a child
