1//VERTIGO



Unos, dos, tres, catorce! (Turn it up loud, captn')

{verse}

E                   D                        E

Lights go down, it's dark The jungle is your head,

Can't rule your heart a feeling's so much stronger than a thought 

your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought 

your mind can wander



{chorus}

E       D  

Hello hello (Hola!)

G                     A

I'm at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

     E                   D

It's everything I wish I didn't know 

       G           D               E

Except you give me something I can feel, feel



{verse}

The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky

Of ink with gold They twinkle as the Boys play rock and roll

They know they can't dance At least they know....



I can't stand the beat I'm asking for the cheque

The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus round her neck

Swinging to the music Swinging to the music / Oh oh oh oh



{chorus}

Hello hello / I'm at a place called Vertigo

It's everything I wish I didn't know 

But you give me something I can feel, feel



E-D-A  E             E D A             E D A              D

{ ~      Check mated      Shots fall ...     shove me in  yeah~)



{Solo break w/basic riff x 4}



D      E     D               E        {repeat}

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

     G                       A

Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt...

{chorus}

Hello hello (hola!) / We're at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

Lights go down and all I know is that / you give me something 

      E              D           A        D    {repeat}

I can feel your love teaching me ho-o-o-o-o-ow

Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel... kneel

{Basic riff} Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah  ... Yeah {end on E}

Verse:



G#                            D#   

The most you see the less you know

C#

The less you find out as you go home

G#                D#              C# 

I knew much more then, then I did now,

G#               D#     C#

Neon heart, day-glow eyes, city lit by fire flies,

G#                 D#             C#         

They're advertising in the sky for people like us.



Pre-Chorus:

B       C#

And I miss you when you're not around,

B           C#

I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Verse riff (=main riff w/no D/G alternation + A a little different):



E E          D        A Asus4 A {repeat until ...

I was born a child of grace

Nothing else about the place

Everything was ugly but your beautiful face

...}   D            A     G 

And it left me no illusion



{Verse riff}

I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room

You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion



Chorus riff:

D     D5/C# D  D5/C# A   (repeat)

All because of you    Verse riff picks off

All because of you All because of you I am



{Verse riff}

I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice 

An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train



Some people get squashed crossing the tracks

Some people got high rises on their backs

I'm not broke but you can see the cracks

You can make me perfect again



Chorus

All because of you / All because of you / All because of you

  {Basic riff x1}

I am... I am

And I want back inside

Bm                  A

Little sister 

Bm                  A  G

Don't you worry about a thing today

F#m

Take the heat from the sun

Bm                     A

Little sister

Bm                     A  G

I know that everything is not ok

F#m

But you're like honey on my tongue



Em        G

True love never can be rent

Bm                          A

But only true love can keep beauty innocent



Gmaj7              A

I could never take a chance

G6                   A

Of losing love to find romance

Gmaj7                A

In the mysterious distance

G6        F#

Between a man and a woman



Gmaj7                 A

No I could never take a chance

G6                  A

Cos I could never understand

Gmaj7             A

The mysterious distance

G6        F#

Between a man and a woman



You can run from love

And if it's really love it will find you

Catch you by the heel

But you can't be numb for love

The only pain is to feel nothing at all

How can I hurt when I'm holding you?



I could never take a chance

Of losing love to find romance

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

And you're the one, there's no-one else

That makes me wanna lose myself

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman



Em

Brown eyed girl across the street

A

On rue Saint Divine

Em

I thought this is the one for me

A

But she was already mine

G                       F#m

You were already mine



Little sister

Ive been sleeping in the street again

Like a stray dog

Little sister

Ive been trying to feel complete again

But you're gone and so is God



The soul needs beauty for a soul mate

When the soul wants the soul waits 



No I could never take a chance

Of losing love to find romance

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman



For love and faith and sex and fear

And all the things that keep us here

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman



Outro:  

Bm7         A

You'll see



Bm7         A

You'll see

How can I hurt when Im holding you?

You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see

Then your face caught up with your psychology

With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends

And you broke every heart thinking / every heart mends

{pre-chorus}

{chorus}

You speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other

I would believe if I was able

I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table {Verse riff until end}

  I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real

EA

I'm across the road from hope

I'm under a bridge in a rip tide

F#m  E

That's taken everything I call my own



A      E

One step closer to knowing

  I'm on an island at a busy intersection

   E                     A

I can't go forward, I can't turn back

              G#m

Can't see the future

       F#m

It's getting away from me

     E

I just watch the tail lights glowing



A      E

One step closer to knowing



A      E

One step closer to knowing



A      G#m

One step closer to knowing



   F#m    E

Knowing, knowing

A     E

  I'm hanging out to dry

                    A

With my old clothes

     E  A

Finger still red with the prick of an old rose

    G#m

Well the heart that hurts

     F#m

Is a heart that beats

                         E

Can you hear the drummer slowing?



A      E

One step closer to knowing



A      E

One step closer to knowing



A      G#m

One step closer to knowing



   F#m    E

Knowing, knowing
