The Vanishing Act - Bright Eyes -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Tabbed By: Tyler C *While playing Dm during the verses there is a little run where you just hit the D STRING, SECOND FRET. D:-2 2 ----*just listen to the song for when you hit it TWICE or FOUR times* This little run does do a lot for the song though so it is important* Intro: D- 40 30 0 A- 555 444 1s3 -after last open note start strumming Dm Dm Were you surprised that we never spoke? That in the still of the night, when nothing stirs I woke and I gathered up some clothes I never planned on this but it's the way it goes And now it all seems so familiar Like pages turned on calendars We get the same twelve months to fuck things up Year after year And I can't believe how down I am Like the well I'm being lowered in Now water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down Bm Well, I guess that you never knew me G Or at least not well enough Dm So I fill my gut with that dark red wine Until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind You won't see me there in that thick black air, yeah I'll finally make something disappear Bm Because I've been practicing disappearing G And i think that I've got it down Dm But now there is no sun, just a cellar Nowhere is sky, it's just that black, black dirt Expanding outwards, just echoes for answers Not that it matters if it's back or it's forwards Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers use them as markers The place where your bed once stood in a time when it still felt good Bm But you'll get that feeling back G Yeah, you just need some time to think Dm And to add up the hell, get it straight in your mind But to calculate loss, that may take some time Bm But I'm sure you'll get to feeling better G Yeah, I just need some time to drink Dm And so I'll fill my gut with that blood red wine Until my insides swim and my veins unwind I'll be lying there in that hot white air Once that something is gone It might never reappear
