CIRCA SURVIVE
Act Appalled (Acoustic)
by Pete Crosby (bahamut_zero85@hotmail.com)

This is a simplified version of the acoustic performance on Fuse's
"Steven's Untitled Rock Show" for one guitar. I've seen a few
requests, and I really wanted to learn it myself so I gave it a go.

Verse 1:
--------
     Am            F
  To pull them in, make it seem like your in trouble
  Am            F
  Make a sound, fake it enough.
  D5            F
  What made you so scared?
  Am                             G
  Maybe your mistaken for some - one who cares.

Chorus:
-------
  F           Am           G      
  If you re - member, re - member
  E                       F           G
  I've been trying to get back to the center and
  F             E               
  I'm sure it's not like it was before

INTERLUDE

Verse 2:
--------
     Am               F
  To make them drink, tell them that it's only water
  Am                    F
  No one leaves 'till we figure this out
  D5            F
  What made you so scared?
  Am                             G
  Maybe your mistaken for some - one who cares.

for this riff the first time through the following lyrics, but
I prefer to just play the chords.
