I must admit, this song scares the *** out of me...
never doze off while listening to ungod...
it will get quiet, and ten red on white hits, you'll
wake up thinking it is WWIII
Pretty basic song...
Standard tuning...
E
A
D
G
B
e
The intro...
its keyboard or weird guitar...
---------------|
----11--12-----|

The chorus...
--------------------|
--------------------|
-7--7--9------------|

After the last chorus just strum the D and E...
and the guitar will fade out as the drums fade in...
The Words...
Now I'm so tired, so so tired of working this out
Going to give myself up, up to the truth of what this is,
Of what I am
Take from me all of my blood, take from me all of my head
This is the best thing I can do
Why is it me instead of you
(I come down)
Now this is real
I can't go back, caught up with everything here tonight
Going ot *** myself up
Going to throw myself away
Going to give this to you
Give you what I've become
First red on white then red on red
I left my sould back in my bed
This is the best thing I can do
Why is it me instead of you
(I come down)

| sounds like a suicide. Like most of SW early material this seems to be about a guy depressed about the girl and kills himself. "First red on white then red on red" he was on his bed (white sheets) and the red is blood. what wound inflicted is up for grabs, however. | |
