Numbers Pompeii
Assembly (2006)
Tabbed by Jess/Abongchong
Comments/ratings would be appreciated, I'm not entirely sure on some parts so any help
correcting anything that might need it would be cool. :)
Otherwise, totally amazing song!
Note: For the E5 in the chorus, play it so the root note is on the seventh fret of your
string.
And this site fucked up my formatting so the words won't be entirely aligned with the
changes but I got it to go as best I could.
Intro
E|-/12------------| B|-/12------------|
Then the rhythm plays on E and the lead goes something like (it's not exact but sounds
to play along):
E|---7---7---7---7---4---4---4---4---5---5---5---5---5---5--/7-5-4-0-| B|-5---5---5---5---4---4---4---4---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------|
[E]Came at you in silence, my [F#5]back at the[A] wall
[A]I've seen those nights where you binge and purge
[E]Those locks on your doors tell me when you're c[F#5]rouched on all [A]fours
[A]Counting tile, losing bile and sleep
[E]It's just a diet, I've kept it quiet, even if [F#5]you told all my [A]family
[A]And friends they would never believe it
[E]I think you're right, I can't [F#5]believe it [A]too
[A]That it's you, but it's [E]you
E|-/7-5-4-0-
[E5]My problems hide in numbers that [A5]leave when I gag and heave
[B]I weighed out every option, that scale's not fit for advice
[E5]Medical language won't ev[A5]er help to shape this if that
[B5]mind is just as frail as it's frame you know I'd leave it alone
Rhythm sits on E, lead plays
E|--12--------------------| B|-----12---9h10p9-10-9---|
[E]We can beat genetics, adopting new aesthetics for [A]beautiful bodies
[A]Figures ever-so-slender
[E]Taking control, oh. Oh, what a nice, nice [A]thing.
[A]Besides, my [E5]problems hide in numbers that [A5]leave when I gag and heave
[B]And heaving's kind of hard with your hands tied round your waist
[E5]Point out the obvious, tell m[A5]e how dangerous
[B5]Then bundle every fight in an "isn't right" and leave it alone
Outro section:
Alternate between A5 and B5 for one bar each, and then when the cello comes in,
between playing E and A for two bars each.
