Big Black Coffin Teclado

	  
This is my first tab. I hope someone can get as much enjoyment out of this song as I have. 




Verse: 
                                Em 
It's coming back the things you said to me, 

                        Bm               G 
I'm hiding away from reality 

          Bm             C 
Denying myself all the better parts 

                                  F 
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard 

                            Em 
And then I find it hard to sleep at all 

                              Bm            G 
Wishing I could give someone else a call 

                Bm              C 
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me 

                              Am 
Forgetting someone might come over me 

                 G          Am                      G 
Do you know the bar?                The way to the bar? 



C                G 
       But it's clear and bright now, 

Bm               F                    C 
       from the statements to the lies 

                 G 
       From the big black coffin, 

Bm             F                   C 
       to the black under your eyes 

               G               Bm        F                   C 
       But if life is complex,           why present a fake? 

                G                Bm      F                 Em 
       And when I close my eyes,         I still see this face 

G                F              Em 
Looking upon me, still upon me, still... 




2nd Verse (same progression as first verse) 

No competition over ecstasy 
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me 
I will admit all of my weaker parts 
But I shut up if you don't want my point 
My point of view to stand against your own 
But I don't need to be put down this way 
I'm going down this way, but you can stay 

Do you know the bar? Know the way to the bar? 


Chorus: 
But it's clear and bright now, 
from the statements to the lies 
From the big black coffin, 
to the black under your eyes 
But if life is complex, why present a fake? 
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face 
Looking upon me, still upon me, still... 

Em 


Bridge: 

          C               Am                  G 
And it's black, because I know it will never work for me 

          C               Am                G 
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be 

 Em 
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these, 
Loose-ends,"they don't know their own best" -friends 

And "let's pretend"... 



            "and it's clear and bright now, from the statments to the lies, 
             from the big black coffin, to the black under your..." 


"Eyes" 
C       Am      G       X2 

Outro: 

"bah,bah,bah" 
C       Am      G       Em 


Notes: 

The "tab" part is missing a few minor but intricate parts. I will try to figure these  
out in the future, or maybe someone else already has?.
