Song: Let Me Give The World To You (Acoustic)
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Machina Acoustic Demos
Tabbed by: Charlie Lewis
Email: sci-fi-lullaby@hotmail.co.uk
This is a tab for the acoustic version of 'let me give the world to you', its pretty
similar to the album version so will be easy for you to play even if you havent
heard the acoustic one. There are a couple of quite far stretches in the intro and verse
but use your little finger on the Db string you should get used to it, lol sorry if that
sounds patronising :)
Please rate!
Tuning: Half step down

End on Asus2, singing 'you'
LYRICS!
Last chance to make believe in
Always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath
Your umbrella
Set the frame
Destiny, on this last name soliloquy
Tired symphonies played downward
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you, my love
Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the lines with soul abuse
My lonesome lies just have no use around here
New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to where
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me show you what i'm thinking of, my love
Times are hard and we're the last in line
'Cause in my grief I'd forgotten what was mine
And I wouldn't change a thing
No, I, no, I
No, I wouldn't change a thing
About the way you are
The distance here
The speed so far
So far
So far
So far
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
