I tabbed this out the way my band plays it live. It's not exactly how MCS plays it, but
pretty close and it sounds perfect if you're singing along.

Bm       A               G
I got the message long before you said you knew
Bm          A               G
There was no chance of us at all
        Bm            A
With no velocity and empty headed
G
Hard and far too long
Bm         A               G
I spent two years alone with you
Bm         A               G
Just when I thought I had forgotten
Bm           A             G
You came back soft without a sound
 
 
F#m          G           D F#m C#
You said we were an accident
F#m       G                 D
With accidents you'll never know
    Em    F#m
What could have been
F#m     G      D F#m C#
So we were an accident
F#m             G             D
You'll always be my favorite one
 
Bm, A, G x2
 
 
Bm         A                    G
You hit the road and left me an ocean
Bm                 A               G
I cant swim in the silence of your skin
G                  Bm
skin please let me in
         A              G
Side the times we never had right
Bm        A                 G
Inside two years alone with you
 
 
F#m          G          D F#m C#
You said we were an accident
F#m       G                 D
With accidents you'll never know
   Em     F#m
What could have been
F#m     G       D F#m C#
So we were an accident
F#m            G             D
You'll always be my favorite one
 
 
F#m G         D
We could have been
   F#m    D
We could have been
   F#m       G  D
Instead of accidental
D      Em
Running always running
 
Why can't you believe?
 
 
Bm         A            G
Long winded promises of future company
Bm          A                  G
Up close the sound remains the same
            Bm              A         G
Without the reign of terror over every momentary exchange
Bm     A          G
We are exactly as before
 
Bm         A                    G
You hit the road and left me an ocean
Bm                 A              G
I cant swim in the silence of your skin
G                  Bm
skin please let me in
         A              G
Side the times we never had right
Bm       A                G D
Inside no chance of us at all
 
That's really all there is to this song. If you can get the vocals and the rhythm right
be golden like a shower. Questions or comments? justin.davin@usmc.mil
