Me-, a total hopeful\r\ntrack for Cure fans alike (but I am not a critic so I will not go on).\r\nI have transcribed the basic guitar riff for the verses, the synth line for\r\nthe verses as well as chorus, and the guitar chords for the chorus.\r\n\r\nThe verse riff is:\r\n\r\n[tab]E -------------------------------------|\r\nB -------------------------------------|\r\nG -------------------------------------|\r\nD -------------------------------------|\r\nA ----1--1p0----0--3--3--1--6----------|\r\nE -3---------3-------------------------|[/tab]\r\n\r\n(make sure you slide between the last two notes, meaning slide between\r\n fret 1 and 6).\r\n\r\n\r\nThe synthesizer riff (fit for guitar) for the verse is:\r\n\r\n[tab]E -3----1-------------1--||-6------------------1--||\r\nB -3---------4--3--4-----||-8----6----4--3--4-----||\r\nG -----------------------||-----------------------||\r\nD -----------------------||-----------------------||\r\nA -----------------------||-----------------------||\r\nE -----------------------||-----------------------||[/tab]\r\n\r\n(the double vertical lines in between means to repeat the riff)\r\n\r\n\r\nFor the ~Fight! Fight!

floor\nAnd I remember even though it felt soft at the time,\nI always used to wake up sore\n\nYou know I even think that she smiled like you,\nshe used to just stand there and smile\nAnd her eyes would go all sort of far away\nand stay like that for quite a while\n\nAnd I remember she used to fall down a lot\nThat girl was always falling again and again\nAnd I used to sometimes try to catch her\nBut I never even caught her name\nYes I sometimes even tried to catch her\nBut I never even caught her name\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n torture\n\nI'm in the room without a light\nThe room without a view\nI'm here for one more treacherous night\nAnother night with you\nIt tortures me to move my hands\nTo try to move at all\nAnd pulled\nMy skin so tight it screams\nAnd screams and screams\nAnd pulls some more\n\nHanging like this\nLike a vampire bat\nHanging like this\nHanging on your back\nI'm helpless again\n\nMy body is cut and broken\nIt's shattered and sore\nMy body is cut wide open\nI can't stand anymore\n\nHanging like this\nLike a vampire bat\nHanging like this\nHanging on your back\nOh it's torture\nAnd I'm

we could fall\nIn a deathless spell\n\nIf only tonight we could slide\nInto deep black water\nAnd breathe\nAnd breathe...\n\nThen an angel would come\nWith burning eyes like stars\nAnd bury us deep\nIn his velvet arms\n\nAnd the rain would cry\nAs our faces slipped away\nAnd the rain would cry\nDon't let it end...\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n why can't i be you?\n\n\nI'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins\nYou're so perfect, you're

pit\n\nWell we're a mile under the ground\nAnd I'm thinking that it's Christmas\nAnd I'm kissing you hard\nLike I've got very important business\nAnd no-one knows\nAnd no-one sees us\nBecause they're drinking their selves senseless\nAnd I'm writhing\nAnd I'm writhing\nAnd I'm writhing in the snake pit\n\nWell I'm out in a car\nAnd it's just full of stupid girls\nAnd I've forgotten how to speak\nAnd I just can't remember a word\nAnd my eyes feel like they're bursting\nAnd they're splitting like plums\nAnd I'm writhing\nAnd I'm writhing\nAnd I'm writhing in the snake

remember that day in Paris\nWhen we wandered through the rain\nAnd promised to each other\nThat we~d always think the same\nAnd dreamed that dream to be two souls as one\nAnd stopped just as the sun set\nAnd waited for the night\nOutside a glittering building\nOf glittering glass and burning light...\n\nAnd in the road before us stood a weary greyish man\nWho held a child upon his back\nA small boy by the hand\nThe three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air\nAnd all six eyes stared fixedly on you\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nD Am D Am D Am F F\n\nI turned to look at you\nTo read my thoughts upon your face\nAnd gazed so deep into your eyes\nSo beautiful and strange\nUntil you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream\n-I hate these people staring, make them go away from me-\n\nThe father~s eyes said beautiful\nHow beautiful you are\nThe boy~s eyes said how beautiful\nShe shimmers like a star\nThe child~s eyes uttered nothing\nBut pride and utter joy\nAnd stilled my heart with sadness\nFor the way we are\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n hey you!!!\n\nHey you!!!\nYes you\nYes you the one that looks

me\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n just like heaven\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and kissed her head\nAnd dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow\n\"Why are you so far away?\" she said\n\"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you\nThat I'm in love with you\"\n\n\n\n\n\nTwisting in the water\nYou're just like a dream\n\nDaylight licked me into shape, I must have been asleep for days\nAnd moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes\nAnd found myself alone alone alone above a raging sea\nThat stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me\n\nYou, soft and only\nYou, lost and lonely\nYou just like heaven\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n all i want\n\nTonight I'm feeling like an animal\nTonight I'm howling inside\nTonight I'm feeling like an

Fight! Fight!~ part, the guitar plays a D5 chord (with\nthree staccato strums -hence the fight! fight! fight! part- it plays\nD5 for about a second after that, then plays the C5 for another second,\nthen it plays C5 staccato three times. In between is the synth line.\nIf you work on it, you will know what I mean.\n\n\nSynth lines inbetween -Fight! Fight! Fight!-\n\n D5 C5 C5 D5\n\n\n\n\nThat is basically it. The song ends on D5 and that is about it.\n\nSometimes there's nothing to feel\nSometimes there's nothing to hold\nSometimes there's no time to run away\nSometimes you just feel so old\nThe times it hurts when you cry\nThe times it hurts just to breathe\nAnd then it seems like there's no-one left\nAnd all you want is to sleep\n\nFight fight fight\nJust push it away\nFight fight fight\nJust push it until it breaks\nFight fight fight\nDon't cry at the pain\nFight fight fight\nOr watch yourself burn again\nFight fight fight\nDon't howl like a dog\nFight fight\nJust fill up the sky\nFight fight fight\nFight til you drop\nFight fight fight\nAnd never never\nNever stop\n\nFight fight fight\nFight fight fight\n\nSo when the hurting starts\nAnd when the nightmares begin\nRemember you can fill up the sky\nYou don't have to give in\nYou don't have to give in\n\nNever give in\nNever give in\nNever give in\n*****************************************************************************\n\nSpecial Chords:\n\nCadd9 x23022 D/F# 200323 D4+\tX00234\tDm/C x30231\tE7 020130\n\n*****************************************************************************\n\n\t Sergio Lucero Vera\t\t\t \"it's better to regret\n Ingeniero Civil Matematico\t\t something you did\nEtudiant de Mastere a l'Ecole Centrale Paris\tthan something you didn't do\"\n http://www.dim.uchile.cl/~slucero/ (the Butthole Surfers)","chords":["D","D4","A","Bm","C#m","G","E","Dm","Bb","F","Am","C","Em","F#m","E7","Dm/C","Cm","Gm","B","G#","Cadd9","D/F#","D5","C5"],"chord_diagrams":{"A":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,1,2,3,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,2,2,0]},"Am":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,2,3,1,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,2,1,0]},"Bm":{"barres":[2],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,1,3,4,2,1],"frets":[-1,2,4,4,3,2]},"C":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,3,2,0,1,0],"frets":[0,3,2,0,1,0]},"Cadd9":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,1,0,3,0],"frets":[-1,3,2,0,3,0]},"Cm":{"barres":[3],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,1,3,4,2,1],"frets":[-1,3,5,5,4,3]},"D":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,1,3,2],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,2]},"Dm":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,2,3,1],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,1]},"E":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,3,1,0,0],"frets":[0,2,2,1,0,0]},"E7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,0,1,0,0],"frets":[0,2,0,1,0,0]},"Em":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,3,0,0,0],"frets":[0,2,2,0,0,0]},"F":{"barres":[1],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[1,3,4,2,1,1],"frets":[1,3,3,2,1,1]},"G":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[2,1,0,0,0,3],"frets":[3,2,0,0,0,3]},"Gm":{"barres":[3],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[1,3,4,1,1,1],"frets":[3,5,5,3,3,3]}}}
