VERSE 3:
One fluid gesture, 		like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, 		petrified.
		And still not satisfied

VERSE 4:
Airs and social graces, 	elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle,	 and my favourite waste of time,

		both spineless and sublime.

CHORUS



NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TUNE YOUR GUITAR INTO THIS TUNING??
-Tighten the thick E string a little until it sounds the same as the A string
 when you play the E string on the 4th fret.
-Tighten the A string a little until it sounds the same as the D string
 when you play the A string on the 4th fret.
-Tighten the D string a little until it sounds the same as the G string
 when you play the D string on the 4th fret.
-Tighten the G string a little until it sounds the same as the B string
 when you play the G string on the 3rd fret.
-Tighten the B string a little until it sounds the same as the thin E string
 when you play the B string on the 4th fret.
-Loosen the thin E string until it sounds just like the B (now the Bb/C#) string.

NOW, it should all be tuned to:F,A#,D#,G#,C,C;check by doing the standard tuning method:
-The F string must sound like the A# string when you play it on the 5th fret.
-The A# string must sound like the D# string when you play it on the 5th fret.
-The D# string must sound like the G# string when you play it on the 5th fret.
-The G# string must sound like the C string when you play it on the 4th fret.
-The C string and the thinner C string must sound alike at all times, i.e.
  ;if you play them while pressing down no frets or when you press down on any fret
  ;but you must press down on the same fret for both C strings.
  SIMPLY: Just play both strings loose and they must sound the same!!

Hope I helped anyone who didn't know how to tune their guitar in this tuning.

NOTE: I just use an electric tuner to tune my guitar back into standard tuning!!

THat's it, very easy and so cool!!
It should be 100% correct because I have a live clip of Placebo
performing 'Teenage Angst' and I tabbed the song using that 
clip as help.

any feedback welcome.
