Velvet Revolver
Contraband
Loving The Alien
Tabbed by D.K
Verse: One of the guitars play the rhythm, while
the other guitar pulls over the chords,
and let them ring.
C Am
Sometimes I think I'm scared, sometimes I know.
Em G
I feel like making love, sometimes I don't.
C Am
I feel like letting go, maybe not.
Em G
I feel like giving up, is all we got.
Chorus:
F G F G
Sometimes is all the time, and never means maybe.
F G
Sometimes is all the time,
C G
maybe, and I'm moving on,
C G
and I'm moving on, (sometimes I feel alone),
C G C G
and I'm moving on, and I'm moving on.

Verse: Do the same here, on this verse, but here there's also
a third guitar playing.
C Am
Sometimes I make believe, when we're alone.
Em G
Machines have taken hold. Can you get me to a telephone?
C Am
It's just the little things, you used to see.
Em G
Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be?

Solo: I think this solo is almost 100% correct, except a little bit
in the end. Awesome solo. The chords are the same as in the
bridge.

| Scott has said that this song is realizing too late that he had what he had..meaning Mary. I never noticed How lovely were the aliens Lovely were the aliens He uses Aliens as a metaphor for Mary and the other people he's locked out of his life, including his children when he did the heroin (but then again, isn't MOST of the music about heroin and Mary?) :) | |

| I agree with most of you. I think it's about him finally realizing what's around him. That you're so close to something to love it, yet it seems so far away that it's alien to you. And there are the swinging moods. When he comes around he wonders of the alien he has made of himself to everyone else, " am i still that man who makes you who you want to be." | |

| i agree with ithinkiknowlyrics about the meaning of the aliens also, i think the title comes from how he is now 'loving the alien' or how hes realizing how much people cared for him back in the day, but he could never notice it at the time because he was always stoned out of his mind | |
