The Tape Tabs & Lyrics by Annuals
The Tape
guitar tabs lyrics
Hey all! This is my first tab ever. The actual song features a piano
accompaniment, but these are chords that, I believe, sound good with the vocals. Enjoy!
Standard Tuning
F# B F# B
I'd like to know you as a promise kept well
F# B F#
A ballast of incessant dispel
F# B F# B
A stone in the water, a stillness in time
F# D#m G#m D#m
The peace that I'd left home to find ~
G#m D#m G#m D#m
To find ~ I ~
F# B F# B
To find ~ To find ~
F# B F# F# B F#
What must I say to keep you all day, any day?
F# B F# C#
What must I say to change your mind
D#m F#
Maybe if I could turn off the tape
B F#
Rub the death from my face
B F# C#
Head home, and forget all my songs
D#m F# B F#
I'm changing the shape of this miserable place
B F# C#
Maybe then, you'd wanna solve me
F# B F# B
'Cause I'd like to tell you I've been dripping with sin
F# B F# B
Your skiff left this beach once again
F# B F# B
I turned from the water, not a thought in my mind
F# D#m G#m
Of the peace that I'd left home to find
D#m G#m D#m G#m
I ~ I ~
F# B F# F# B F#
And what must I say to keep you all day, any day?
F# B F# C#
What must I say to change your mind?
F#
Maybe if I could stop
D#m F# B F#
Turn off the tape, rub the death from my face
B F# C#
Head home, and forget all my songs
D#m F# B F#
I'm changing the shape of this miserable place
B F# C#
And maybe then you'd wanna solve me
F# B F# F# B F#
What must I say to keep you all day, any day?
F# B F# C#
What must I say to change your mind?
F#
Maybe if I could stop
~The End~
If you're not a fan of bar chords, then you can tune a half-step down and play
the chords a half-step up. (G, C, Em, Am, etc...) I hope this helps.
