-------
          C#m                  B                       A       A
So we all      are growing old      and it’s getting old
            C#m                  B                A       A
Pressure on     our hollow bones    and the varicose
        C#m               B                  A       A
Suddenly     we decompose,   but we’re not alone
         C#m                  B     A      A
So we all      are growing old
 
 
CHORUS 1
B                                C#m              A
   Maybe we’re sealed in silence,    and maybe we feel a guidance
B                         C#m                A
   Maybe your own devices    will keep you afraid and cold, but I...
 
 
VERSE 2
-------
Memorise your smile lines from left to right
Came to life in child-like reaction time
We’re allowed to expire with ourselves in mind
So we all are growing old
 
 
CHORUS 2
--------
Pull out the fear of silence and put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices and don’t be afraid of the cold

We slide, we slide, we slide into delight

hey man this is a pretty sweet tab. my only question is during the interlude, it sound slike hes going from a higher chord to a lower chord, to an even lower chord. im not a guitar player, but when i put the chords into guitar pro, it goes from low (Em) to high (D) to a little lower than D (C). this may be a stupid question, but is there a different Em chord thats much higher that he plays or is it a different chord?

If you watch a live performance you'll see that he plays it like this e--------3--3---- B--8-----3--3---- G--9-----0--0---- D--9-----0--2---- A--7-----2--3---- E--------3-------

my guitar teacher made me a really quick tab of it, and he said its basically: [tab] e----------------- B--8-----12--5---- G--9-----12--5---- D--9-----12--5---- A----------------- E----------------- then e------------------ B--8-----12--17---- G--9-----12--17---- D--9-----12--17---- A------------------ E------------------ When it gets heavy. You're just going one octave higher. Hope it helps.
