Played with electric guitar with slight gain
* = palm mute

You boD5ard an airplane
Take your seat and watch as
AlF#5l the seasons they change
In a G5wave of your hand
And aD5ll the boys gasp
Stand on legs that shake shake
They alF#5l want inside you
TheG5y all want to wear your clothes
And it'D5s just motion
Yes eveF#5rybody knG5ows it
And it'D5s just motion
Yes eveF#5rybody knG5ows it
And D5I wish yoA5u would close your eyes
Pay E5attention tC5o the sound of our blood

F#5

Tabbed by: Brad C.

Played with electric guitar with slight gain

* = palm mute

~ = let ring

You board an airplane

Take your seat and watch as

F#5

All the seasons they change

In a wave of your hand

And all the boys gasp

Stand on legs that shake shake

F#5

They all want inside you

They all want to wear your clothes

And it's just motion

F#5 G5

Yes everybody knows it

And it's just motion

F#5 G5

Yes everybody knows it

D5 A5

And I wish you would close your eyes

E5 C5

Pay attention to the sound of our blood

D5 A5

Beacuse it seems with the birds outside

Who are telling us

Oh, don't be afraid

Oh yeah we won't be afraid

Oh yeah the room's full

All these dancing bodies

F#5

All this flesh you're touching

And still it don't mean a thing

And all the mouths move

All the lips of red red

F#5

They do all this talking

But nothing's ever really said

And yeah, it's backwards

F#5 G5

Yes everybody knows it

And it's just backwards

F#5 G5

Yes everybody knows it

D5 A5

And I wish you would close your eyes

E5 C5

Pay attention to the sound of our blood

Because it seems

With the birds outside

Who are telling us

Oh, don't be afraid

Now you're shaking the hands

Each one so cold

A symptom of the yearly toll

It's just the flu

Yeah, it's been going around

And do you believe in rock and roll?

Can music come and save your soul?

I don't think so

Because you're dancing too slow

Oh yeah you're dancing too slow
