------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Surrounded (Or Spiraling)" - Silversun Pickups ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: CatNamedEaster Email: fear_and_loathing56@yahoo.com Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb (Half-Step Drop-D) Note: I initially learned this song in Eb tuning, but in the very beginning of this song I can hear Brian hitting a brief, open Db before the onslaught of Eb so... I transcribed it for half-step drop-D instead. I'm not so sure of how correct the chorus bit is, but if anyone has a better suggestion please feel free.

on the floor off the clear plastic chandelier remember when i saw you in orbit remember when i pulled you back in remember looking on blinking into the dawn thinking how this will never end surrounded let's romanticize our beloved memories surrounded let's demonize our softest injuries surrounded can we get behind distortion of liberties surrounded we're surrounded or spiraling remember when i played assassin remember when my joking turned grim remember how we thought if we followed the dots it would stop all the accidents remember when you broke my halo remember how i tied your wings in remember how we slipped on the lies we equipped just to bring back the goods again surrounded let's romanticize our beloved memories surrounded let's demonize our softest injuries surrounded can we get behind distortion of liberties surrounded we're surrounded or spiraling is it perfect in our little hell are you dancing or stumbling beside me well this might not be let's wait and see so now that we've stopped hearing echos and now that the replay's worn thin just remember who held you remember who held you remember who held you remember who held you remember who held you surrounded let's romanticize our beloved memories surrounded let's demonize our softest injuries surrounded can we get behind distortion of liberties surrounded we're surrounded or spiraling is it perfect in our little hell | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
