The Drop Chords

Howards Alias - The Drop
Tabbed by: dukeandy

Intro: Am-E x2

Verse:
Am                             
   These buildings are dead, I watched as they crumbled around me,
       Dm                                                   Am     E
   And things that I thought were important all fell from my head.
Am   
   I stumbled, fell back, then pretty much stared in amazement,
       Dm                                                   Am
   Whilst feeling the long lost caress of a past that's come back.
E                             E7 (hold)
   Will you stop me when it's done?

Interlude
Am-Dm-Am-E-Dm-Am-E

Verse Chords as above:

The picture's blurred out, a wishy-washy reflection that's frayed
At the edges, And burned to a cinder is all I've made out.
So, just how could you tell? 'Cause I so thought my teary-eyed mask had you
Fooled for a second but we're dead on our feet in this spell.

E                             E7 (hold)          Am
   Will you stop me when it's done? I'm falling apart.

   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E           
Falling apart.

C                         E                    Am
   Is it the windows I've hid behind covered in sheets;
C                   E                    Am
   Or songs sung in tongues about you and me?
C               E                        Am
   Old memories sacred that have faded to black?
C                          E                    Am
   That hence so far, this feeling can never grow back.

Verse Chords as above (quieter):

This blueprint worked out to be everything we didn't want,
From beginning to end all we're left with is signs of self doubt.
And now we can see; with clear heads, and open eyes.
Horizons are laced with the poisons of all that can and can't be.

E
   Will you stop me? Oh. Will you stop me? Oh.
                                        E7                 Am
   Please can somebody stop me when I'm done? I'm falling apart. 

   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E                  Am
Falling apart, I'm falling apart.
   Dm    E           
Falling apart.

(quiet single strum)
Am    Dm    E
   Falling apart.
