The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: julian
Email: julianprott@web.de
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
So here are all tabs to the pains of being pure at heart album!
They are all made by me! ;)
If there are some weird chords used in a song I’ve made some sort of
chord-diagram at the beginning. If not, or otherwise indicated,
all chords are played open. The guitarist uses a capo on the second fret
on almost all songs. I think except the first one where is no capo.
If there is a solo or something like that it’s alsways relative to the capo.
I think everything is quite correct, but if you have any corrections,
send them ;) Have fun!

capo 2
intro: C Am7 Fmaj7 C x2
C Am7
between the stacks in the library
Fmaj7
not like anyone stopped to see
C
we came they went, our bodies spent
among the dust and the microfiche
C Am7
dark winters wear you down
Fmaj7
up again to see the dawn
in your worn sweatshirt
C
and your mothers old skirt
G
its enough to turn my studies down
Fmaj7 C
now that you feel, you say its not real
G Am7 Fmaj7 intro x2
now that you feel, you say its not real
C Am7
i never thought i would come of age
Fmaj7
let alone on a moldy page
you put your back to the spines
C
and you said it was fine if theres nothing really left to say
C Am7
youre taking toffee with your vicodin
Fmaj7
something sweet to forget about him
C
if you go your own way i will go my own way
G
and well never speak of it again
Fmaj7 C
now that you feel, you say its not real
G Am7 Fmaj7 intro
now that you feel, you say its not real
