Tabbed by Benjamin Wilson
The whole song uses the same four chords over and over. The basic pattern in the
on the root chord seems to be:
A
e----------------------- |
B---------------3------- |
G-------------3---3----- |
D----------------------- |
A------0---------------- |
E----------------------- |
And then I guess pick as suits your style, or listen to the recording to see how it's
there. If you have a beautiful voice with a four octave range that will probably add
to its performance as well...
A D C#m Bm A
I know we're through but I still can't really believe that we'd fall
A D C#m Bm A
And though it's sad I still try to hold back my tears, but still I call
A Bm C#m
What can I say or do for you?
Bm A
What would you like me to be?
A Bm C#m
Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
Bm A
Cripples cry, what can I do?
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m Bm
A
But please believe that your love will grow with time or with need
A D C#m Bm
A
And though you say that you'll never change your mind, I'll be here
D C#m Bm
And I'm a torn down child for you
A
I build my castles in the sky
D C#m Bm
And I've the colours of a clown
A
In the teardrops from my eyes
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
I'm on the other side of fear
Bm A
Through my pain I've learned to love
A D C#m
And if my actions aren't too clear
Bm A
remember clowns only cry
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
Your dark secrets torture my mind
Bm A
Your life of love turns me cold
A D C#m
And your first lovers you've left behind
Bm A
Or do you wish to return?
A D C#m Bm
Oh yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
What can I say or do for you?
Bm A
What would you like me to be?
A Bm C#m
Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
Bm A
Cripples cry, what can I do?
A D C#m Bm
And yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
