Classic Cars (Cifras)

Tabbed by: Yoshima
Email: *

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2nd Fret


Chords used relative to capo:

.....G......D......A7....Bm......A......A(alt)
e|--(3)-----3------0------2------0------5---|
B|---3------2------2------3------2------2---|
G|---0------3------0------4------2------2---|
D|---0------0------2------4------2------2---|
A|---2------0------0------2------0------0---|
E|---3------------(0)-----2------0------0---|

It is acceptable to change the 'A7' chord for the 'A'. The 'A' sounds more 
'powerful' than the 'A7' and so is more suited to the chorus.

If you don't wan't to play the 'interludes' just strum a chord, i think
'A' works best a these points.

.....D................................G...................
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen

A7............................................Bm...............G...
She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean

........D..............................G...............................
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds are just splattered paint

.......A7..........................Bm............G.....
It's a room I'm renovating; it's a name I got to change

.....D...............................G....................
If I get out of California I'm going back to my home state

.............D..........A7........D...
To tell them all that I made a mistake

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>> Chorus

............................G..............
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,A7............
Lighting candles to a cynical saint

..............D.................A7.................Bm.........G...
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape

...........A................................A(alt)..
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape

.........D........A...Bm.....D......G..
From the panicked paradox of day to day

..................A...........................................
If you can't understand something then it's best to be afraid

>>>Verse

D.........................................G.............
The whole world it loves you if you are a chic chameleon

A7.............................Bm...........G..
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone

........D,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,........G.........................
But when conducting business she would lie about where she's from

.........D..............A.............D...
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"

I learned to listen felt like I was back at school

>>>Verse

D..............................G..............
Without even knowing I guess I took her advice

A7.................................Bm.......G......
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye

.....D....................G.....................
It's not that often but I think of her sometimes

...............D................A7...........D....
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>Chorus

..........................G,,,,,,,,,,,
And they keep moving at a glacial pace

.....................A7.........
Turning circles in a memory maze

.........D...............A7.......................Bm.......G...
I made a new cast of the death mask that is gonna cover my face

.........A.............................A(alt)
I had to change the combination to the safe

........D.....A......Bm.......D......G...
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait

..........A...........................................
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can't break
