"Chevelle" - "Shameful Metaphors"
The original Tuning for the guitar is different. I tried to transpose it, so you
can play it in STANDARD TUNING.
/ means: slide into
The numbers in the "Shameful-Metaphors-part" mean, how often you have to hit the
strings. (2 = 2 hits, then next chord)

Fear | It's all the same
Should I evolve | To tend to these
sights | Said out loud then said again
If fate's so wrong | You'll start to feel lightheaded
By my ad - mis - sion, nothing grows
Just a lon - ger list of un - sorted laws
So why then
(C#)
Has all my life made no sound
(C#)
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
(C#)
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes clo - sing
Revolting man
This sacred chain | Brought down to
trial | No better man could fail the way
You needed all | Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts
The fi - nest ri - ver, The ravens tend
All a - long in - sis - ting We're worlds away
So why then
(C#)
Has all my life made no sound
(C#)
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
(C#)
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes clo - sing
