favorites of “life and death” .

Am E Am E
there was a silver circle sign , and she was standing at the door
Am E Am
we pressed our way right through the crowd , or pace was quickened to her
E
floor ,

Am E Am E
there was a single feigning light , and there was silk all on the walls ,
Am E Am E
she had a lot of love to give , i was prepared to take it all

“and what did she do next?”
Am E Am E
she had disrobed , and she was waiting on the floor .
Am E Am E
she asked me what it was i want , i thought that i wanted it all .

“what did you say?”

E ( open )
i said “stand up and move your body to the bed . ”
C
she quickly stood , and slowly turned , and
E
here’s exactly what she said .

F D/F# G E/G#
“please be soft and sweet to me , this life has not been good
E/A E/h E/A A G F E ( open ) Dm C ( open )
you see its hard with such A his___tory

F E ( open ) F E ( open ) F E ( open )
bu___ried in mi_________se___ry . ”

“and what did you do next?”

Am E A E
i broke a smile reminding that i paid her well .
Am E Am E
her lips returned , and then i felt her hands unbuckling my belt .

“so was it good?”

E ( open )
it felt like heaven , but i’m sure she was in hell –
C E
i made it clear i’d get my money’s worth out of the goods she sells .

F E/G# Am F
break and bind yourself to me , deliver what you’ve sold
Dm E/G# Am
you see that i will only take from you , and use it up .
A Dm E/G# E/A E/h Am
i’ll use you up “what was your na__________________me” .

im sure that i totally nailed the harmonies but of course i cant be 100% sure
that those are the exact chords played . . . . but it sounds pretty close to me . . . let
me know ehat you think . . . this is kinda one of my first tabs that i really posted
but ive been playing for like 12 years so im not one of those “this is my first
tab – please rate” – kids ( which by the way almost always suck!!! ) ^^
