The Mars Volta

Beneath The Eyelids

Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slipped my sight beneath the eyelid
Do you remember what you said to me?
What cause has given you the right to stray?
And then you're living to muster a taste
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath
Chorus:
Since we've been wrong, I've been poured away
Since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure of the way
But I hold it as
Just one more time
you still amass
The next verse follows the same chord stucture like the first verse:
One day your rain will come wash away
The earth that held us was no island
I have become unbroke inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids
And all the days become of cast away
I seem to think I don't belong here
Chorus
The end of the chorus goes to the bridge which is Am, Em, F
On top along here
I should have stayed
What folds inside
Becomes empty
The walls between us
Won't ever break
Should seal it shut
It grows empty
Then the chorus until the end. The last chord is Am.
Out of laziness I didn't tab the second verse but you should get the idea of it
just by listening to the first verse and then place the chords where you hear it
in the song.

PS: I better not see this tab ripped off and put on other sites without giving me
credit for it.
