VERSE: (F > Fsus4)
Never want my hand cut off
Never want a hacking cough
Never needed cliffs(?) I push
Never turn my brain to mush
Always keeping what I lack
Always take the best parts back
Always recognize your face
Always just a moment late
Left is where I always turn
Left is how I’m forced to learn(?)
Left is where my walking takes
Left alone with my mistakes
Up against a person you…
Up ’till now I never knew
Up from hell the answer blew
Up or down it’s up to you
Chorus (slower)
C# D# F Fsus4 (F to Fsus4 main theme rhythm)
Drop me off a chinese wok(?)
And peel my fingers off the rim
Come unglued while in mid air
And land to reform
Limb by limb
Chanted: Limb by limb by limb by limb (Mike and Fish)
Sung: And I am am taken far away (Page)
Trey:
Finger is slowly melting away
Tossed with a salad and bailed with the hay
Pooling like water that drips from above
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove
Silence is slowly smothering me
Nothing I touch and nothing I see
Posseses a pulse so it’s fit to be seen
If I am a drone then where is my queen
Lingering, slowly melting away
*above lines repeated randomly*
ho = Hammer on
po = Pull off
That’s it! Let me know what ya think
