Marianas Trench - Lovers Dearest

song : lovers dearest
artist : marianas trench

this is my first tab , so it may be a little ruff , but what ever! this song was
originally tabbed on piano , so don’t i don’t know if it’s 100% correct . i did mess
around with it on my guitar , how i did it on piano sounds correct . i know some of
the lyrics are wrong , got them off a website . : p

strumming pattern : you strum each chord about four to six times when you don’t see
* . depends . once it get’s to “it hurts me to say” you strum each chord about eight
times . it ends at “but it might be alright if you go” .

* = one strum
( ) = possible chord

verse 1
Em * C *
this place is a hole , but i don’t want to go .
G * D
i wish we could stay here forever alone .
Em C
this time that we waste , but i still love your taste .
G D
don’t let him take my place , don’t just sit there .

chorus
Em C
sometimes i wish you would leave me .
G D
well i’m not sick of you yet , that’s as good as it gets ,
Em C
i’ll just hide it , or i could slip into you ,
G D
its so easy to come back into you .
Em C
oh , ouh , ouh , oh , ouh , oh , ouh , ouh

verse 2
G D
i stand for awhile , and waited for words ,
Em C
seen but not heard and struggled to try .
G D
my tongue’s turning black , but i’ll take you back .
Em C G
you’re still the best more or less , i guess .
D
i guess .

chorus
Em
don’t you leave me ,
C G
well i’m not sick of you yet ,
D
that’s as good as it gets ,
Em C
i’ll just try to hide it , or i could slip into you ,
G D
its so easy to come back into you .

bridge
Em C
it hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay .
G D
and it might be alright if you go .
Em C
it hurts me to say that i want you to stay ,
G D
but it might be alright if you go .

chorus
Em C G
so leave me , well i’m not sick of you yet ,
D
that’s as good as it gets .
Em C
i’ll just try to hide it , or i could slip into you ,
G D
it’s so easy to come back into you .
Em C
oh , ouh , ouh , oh , ouh , oh , ouh , ouh

ending
G D
sometimes i think that the bitter in you ,
Em
and the quitter in me ,
C G
is the bitter in you and the quitter in me .
D Em
the bitter in you , and the quitter in me ,
C G
is the bitter in you and the quitter in me .
D Em
the bitter in you , and the quitter in me ,
C G
is the bitter in you and the quitter in me ,
D Em C G ( D ) *
is , bet – ter than the both of us .

note : i think it sounds good ending with the G fading away , but the D could be
played there at the end once . if you are in a band and want to add another guitar ,
there is another part to the song . it sounds good on the piano and should sound
good with guitar . here is the tab :

E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – 0 – – – 1 – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – 1 – – – – – |
G | – – – 0 – – – – 0 – – – 0 – – – – – 0 – – – – 0 – – – – 0 – – – |
D | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

you would play this right after the first chord strum for everything and would
play this at the oh , ouh , ouh , oh , ouh , oh , ouh , ouh at lease twice instead of
playing the chords . when ever there is a silent part in the song ( just the piano )
you would play this . there is a rest before you play the next one . i put it up
there twice but , you only play it once at some part . on the piano , you would play
this with your right hand , would press the keys G , B , G , C , G . just repeat it . keep in
mind , i did do this on acoustic guitar .

go to my youtube channel : vevo895

i’ll have a video up soon of me explaining how to play this on guitar and piano .

hope this helped! leave a comment letting me know if there is anything i need to
change or you think a chord should be something else .
