A---------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------
(Add a few steps inbetween notes and experiment with a few hammer-ons
and pull-offs)
Childbirth tears upon her muscles
Very first, second a screaming icon
Babies in time barely even recognise
Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips
Bridge (Let chords ring)
-----------------------
Dm C
My idea of love comes from
Bb C
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Dm C
Though there is no true love
Bb C
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Chorus
------
C F Dm
Life becoming a landslide
Bb C
Ice freezing, nature dead
F Dm
Life becoming a landslide
Bb C
I don't wanna be a man
Verse 2
--------
Here the guitars and bass come in heavy, playing something likes this
E---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-7---7-8-5-3---1-0-1-12-8
Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realise oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal oh so delicate
Bridge
------
Let chords ring as before
Chorus
------
Repeat the chorus twice
Instrumental Verse
------------------
Second Chorus
-------------
Same chords as first chorus
Life becoming a landslide
A mile empty inside
Life becoming a landslide
Desire on its knees
Repeat and end on
Bb C
Desire on its knees
