The Tape Annuals
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#]I'd like to [B]know you as a [F#]promise kept [B]well
A [F#]ballast of [B]incessant [F#]dispel
A [F#]stone in the [B]water, a [F#]stillness in [B]time
The [F#]peace that I'd [D#m]left home to [G#m]find [D#m]~
To [G#m]find [D#m]~ [G#m]I [D#m]~
[F#]To find ~[B] To [F#]find [B]~
[F#]What must I [B]sa[F#]y to [F#]keep you all [B]day, a[F#]ny day?
[F#]What must I [B]say to c[F#]hange your [C#]mind
Maybe if I could [D#m]turn off the [F#]tape
Rub the [B]death from my [F#]face
Head [B]home, and [F#]forget all my [C#]songs
I'm [D#m]changing the [F#]shape of this [B]miserable [F#]place
[B]Maybe then, [F#]you'd wanna [C#]solve me
'Cause [F#]I'd like to [B]tell you I've been [F#]dripping with s[B]in
Your [F#]skiff left this [B]beach once a[F#]gain[B]
I [F#]turned from the [B]water, not a [F#]thought in my [B]mind
Of the [F#]peace that I'd l[D#m]eft home to [G#m]find
[D#m]I [G#m]~ [D#m]I [G#m]~
And [F#]what must I [B]sa[F#]y to [F#]keep you all [B]day, a[F#]ny day?
[F#]What must I [B]say to c[F#]hange your [C#]mind?
Maybe if I could [F#]stop
[D#m]Turn off the [F#]tape, rub the [B]death from my f[F#]ace
Head [B]home, and [F#]forget all my [C#]songs
I'm [D#m]changing the [F#]shape of this [B]miserable [F#]place
And [B]maybe then y[F#]ou'd wanna s[C#]olve me
[F#]What must I [B]sa[F#]y to [F#]keep you all [B]day, an[F#]y day?
[F#]What must I [B]say to c[F#]hange your[C#] mind?
Maybe if I could [F#]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.
