Any Other Heart

tuning : D standard ( or standard ) ( or drop – D , but i wont tab that . too much effort for
something you can deduce yourself )

first off , i realized that this may require a little more effort than the average person
wants to give , but realize that this took me well over 2 hours to tab . i encourage
others to post specialized versions of this tab , ie . for “guitar” , “chords” or “bass” ,
as i would if i had the time .
i made this as a highly versatile tab . i wrote it where you can figure it out in
standard ( not bass ) and D – standard tunings ( drop – D for bass also )
anyway , the notes over the lyrics are the exact notes , not notes relative to
tuning/Capoes . if i were to do that , the tab would become incomprehensible )
finally , the runs ( like the one after “times we should’ve spent ) are for the bass , and i
wrote what to do in the guitar chords ^ . ^’
p . s . if you read the tab , it’ll sound a bit redundant , because most people will hurry to
the lyric part and give this tab a single star because they’re confused and scared .

enjoy!

if this is played on bass ( D – standard ( because it’s either recorded like that or in
drop – D ( and if you want to play in in drop D , ignore everything after the “or”; they’re the
transposed notes for D – standard ) ) ) ,
the notes are :

D# – 1st fret , top string
F – 3rd fret , top string
Gm – 5th fret , top string or open , 2nd string
A – 7th fret , top string or 2nd fret , 2nd string
A# – 8th fret , top string or 3rd fret , 2nd string

if playing acoustic guitar , or those types of chords , it’s ( un – capo’ed , still D standard ) :

D# – F
F – G
Gm – G#
A – ( anytim you see this in a run or chords/notes , just play the whole run as an G# )
A# – C

still acoustic , standard , capo – 3 :

D# – C
F – D
Gm – Em
A – ( anytim you see this in a run or chords/notes , just play the whole run as an Em )
A# – G

electric ( rhythm guitar , at least ) D standard

Gm
and this is my last remaining filter
D#
on my last remaining words .
A# F
it’s leaving the taste of something bitter on my tongue .
Gm
i’m leaving a laddEr full of reasons
D#
along with a line that starts to blur
A# F
into a page that says you faded away too young .

D# F Gm
’cause you’re leaving something short of innocent .
D# F A# A
Gm F
i’m still thinking of the times we should’ve spent .
D# F A# A
Gm
it’s as if this form of treason crawled up deep inside your head .
D# F [ hold ]
and left you notes on how to keep your insides dead .

[ holding ] D#
if i had any other heart ,
A# F
if any other piece spoke louder .
D#
if i had any other hands ,
A#
i wouldn’t need the boys
Gm F
to tell the world about the coward that re –
D# A#
fuses to stand ,
Gm F
and claim no blood on your hands .
D# F
if i had any other heart beside my own ,

we might’ve left you cold .

Gm A# F F
Gm D# F F

A#
and tracing my fingers down the binding ,

i get cold .
Gm *
’cause i’ve been this awful shade of

lonely since your reasons left the room .
A# *
and i’d see everything get warmer
F *
if you decide to follow suit
D# F Gm
if i could paint the town with all your good intent .

A Gm F
i’d leave these walls as red as my eyes could’ve been .
F D# F A#
A Gm
while picking comfort for my father for a place to rest his head .
D# F [ hold ]
but tallahassee will stay grey outside instead .

D# A#
if i were king of the world
Gm

F [ hold ]
and smile just to rip it all away .

i want to place a memory in your head

that screams about regret .
