Verse 1

-------

During this the classical guitars plays along with the singer with various

little bits added on. It goes something likes this (repeat x4):

E-----------------------------5-5--3-1--

B-3--1-3-6-5--5-6-5-3-1-----------------

G-----------------------3-2-3-----------

D---------------------------------------

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
