• Song:

    Deadbolt Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Thrice

Standard Tuning, Capo 4

Have some freedom with the notes, It sounds a little more major than thrice wanted it to sound
But have fun with it. 


Dm   F         C              G       Am
When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams
Dm  F          C           G               Am
at four in the morning you know where I'll be.
Dm          F          E             Am
out running red lights asleep at the wheel.
F          E       
the sirens feed my nightmares,


Am              C            G       F
i just close my eyes and I'm already there;
       E 
its already too late.
Am                     C
i know its nothing but lies,
          G          F
but they sound so sincere;
            E
i find them too hard to hate.

        Am                              C
and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,
        F                             G
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"
        Am                              C
and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,
        F                             E7
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"

F
and I'm almost sure
F
that I've been here before,
              Am           Am/G                F             G
that this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door,
        Am           Am/G           F         E
with an overwhelming feeling that i shouldn't go in,
E                                    E7
but it seems this is a battle that i never could win.

     Am      C
And you
       F    E
My true love
                  Am      C
You call from the hilltop
                     F       E
You call through the streets
                      Am
"Darling don't you know,
           C     F          E
The water is poison"
      Am
And I say
       C                F          E
"Come on and give me my poison"

When there are little licks after the A minors at the beginning you can do something like:

e |-0---------0----|
B |-1---------1----|
G |-2-----0h2-2----|
D |-2--0h2----2----|
A |-0---------0----|
E |----------------|


Theres no actual thrice version of this, but i saw an attempt at an acoustic on here

and it was totally butchered. this is still wrongish, but it's more right than hte other one.

Just have fun with it.
