Notes:
—————————————————————

Capo on 5th

( ) mean the notes aren’t the main focus, play them optionally.

The rhythm transcribed is rough and is for use as a guide,
listen to the song and you’ll figure it out.

You can play FM7 as F if you want, but after watching J I don’t
think it is.

Song Structure & Lyrics:
—————————————————————

Intro
FM7 | C | Fill 1 | FM7 | C | Fill 2

FM7 C
I got nothin’ where I’ve been

Fill 1
Will you bring me there again?

FM7 C
No-one ever understands

Fill 2
You won’t change to help them

FM7 C
I got lost inside a lie

Fill 1
With a smile you made it die

FM7 C
I’m not there and you know why

Fill 2 Fill 3.1
And I run to get some more.

Fill 3.2
More.

FM7 C
Can I be there all the time.

Fill 1
Can I stop her wondering why?

Fm7 C
Will I crumble? will I fly?

Fill 2
And I’ve got to break it.

FM7 C
Will I be in time to see?

Fill 1
Will it run over me?

FM7 C
Can I fake out just to be?

Fill 2 Fill 3.1
You know I can’t take it on.

Fill 3.3
On.

Fill 5
Fm7
Held the picture yesterday.

Fill 5

Held the picture of a moment of our love.

Our love.

Our love.

Solo & Solo Rhythm (simultaneously)

FM7 C
You have time for me again.

Fill 1
But you’re flatten’n me instead.

FM7 C
Tried to hear the things you said.

Fill 2
Feel like I almost had it.

FM7 C
But I don’t have it at all.

Fill 1
And I’m sweatin’ tryin’ to stall.

FM7 C
‘Til I think I heard a call.

Fill 2 Fill 3.1
I look, you’re just laughing on.

Hmm, I respectfully disagree and you’re entitled to your opinion, but here’s what I did to transcribe the lyrics.

If you have 5.1 surround sound, turn off all channels apart from the front centre, and now you’re pretty much just listening to vocals (if you have a good audio application I imagine you could do it through that as well).

It’s cool to listen to all the songs like this just to hear the vocals clearly, and its awesome if you want to play along on guitar whilst J sings

Edit: Yeahhhh, 150 posts – Severed Lips, I am proud of my medicore accomplishment.

[ammaringnyc]

"Can I stop the wondering why, will I crumble will I fly and I gotta make it"

"will it run all over me"

There are just some minor mistakes I think here and there but pretty close.

[ovaldisc]

The manager’s lucky he didn’t get run over with that guy in the crowd.

[ammaringnyc]

I didn’t mean to sound like a d*ck just my impressions.

[ovaldisc]

That guy was me.
