Tabbed by: Angell Tsang I tabbed this as accurately as I could. It's an awesome song, especially when it kicks into the distortion. I love the drums in this song too. I think they should release this one as their next single. There's no real verse/chorus in the song, and I couldn't decide what was, so I'll leave it to you to decide... Acoustic guitar in the beginning...

Lead Guitar improvs) C Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by, A7sus G6 The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind, you smile, F7M C And say the world, it doesn't fit with you. I don't believe you, You are so serene. A7M G6sus Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, F7M you're guiltless and free, C I hope you take a piece of me with you, A7M And there's things I would like to do, that you don't believe in, G6sus F7M I would like to build something, but you never see it happen, C A7sus And there's this burning, Like there's always been, G6 F7M I've never been so alone, And I've, C/G* (distorted strumming) I've never been so alive, (strum) A7M G6sus F A7M F and there's this burnin', uh huh, there is this burning, C/G yeah, yeah, yeah... Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil. A7M The surface is everything, but I could never do that, G6sus Someone would see through that. C/G A7M And this is the last time, We'll be friends again. G6sus F and I'll get over you, you'll wonder, Who I am. C/G A7M And there's this burning, just like there's always been, G6sus F I've never been so alone, alone, And I've, and I've, I've never been so C (back to picking the intro) F7M alive.......................so alive. Outro: C I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, A7M I paddle out, On the water, Alone, Taste the salt and taste the pain. G6sus C I'm not thinking of you again, Summer dies and swells rise, A7M The sun goes down in my eyes, See this rolling wave, G6sus Darkly coming to take me, F7M G6sus F7M Home, And I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
