Wavelengths – Cymbals Eat Guitars
Capo on 2, Standard Tuning
This song is mainly played on the bottom five strings. The top two can be strummed or muted, whatever 
you think sounds better. Joseph has an unorthodox method of playing so some of the cords are weird,
but they sound pretty much spot on.

of the gaunt tree line singed in ninety seven

when wildfires threatened my development

and the swallowed towns the Klan had founded

the shaded sand dens were party caverns

for them who'd come hallucinate while we slept

Dadd4 C

scaring our rabbits to death in their hutches

Dadd4 Eb Em Emmaj7

I can't remember how I used to live

Cmaj7/G G

but they've all cased their jumps

Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7/G G

fatally I willed it to be

Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7/G G

in the hours of blankness preceding sleep

oh the years we waste faking remorse
