SLOW MOTION - Third Eye Blind

Tabbed by:Johnnybench9
Hey, this is a great song, very simple and easy. Tuning is standard.
I tried to be accurate with chord placement but figure out exact
timing by listening to the song. all chords should be standard bar
chords. if you prefer using open chords just plug in "transpose
down a half step" at the top, capo the first fret, and then play
all chords relative to the capo. where it says "palm mute" strum
the chord once and immediately mute all strings. here it goes.

Verse 1:
Miss Jones taught me English
But I think I just shot her son
'Cause he owed me money
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man, you shoulda seen it
A# (palm mute)
His flesh explode
Chorus:
Slow motion see me let go
We tend to die young
Slow motion see me let go
What a brother knows
Slow motion see me let go (G#*)
Verse 2:
Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I got a little bit of blow we could both get off
Later bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke I cut with Drano
Eb Bb Ab (palm mute)
And her nose starts to bleed
(no chord)
A most beautiful ruby red
Chorus:
Slow motion see me let go
We'll remember these days
Slow motion see me let go
Urban life decays
Slow motion see me let go
(Bb) Ab
And at home
Bridge:
My sister's eating paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her moaning
And I shoot smack in my veins
Wouldn't you?
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's an arc to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
And death slides close to me
Cm Bb (palm mute)
Won't grow old to be
(no chord)
A junkie wino creep
Verse 3:
Hollywood glamorized my wrath
I'm a young urban psychopath
I incite murder
For your entertainment
'Cause I needed the money
Ab Fm (palm mute)
What's your excuse?
(no chord)
The joke's on you
Final Chorus:
Slow motion see me let go
Oh yeah
Slow motion see me let go
I...
Slow motion see me let go
end on D#
that's it, its pretty easy and a great song.
hope you like it.
