In a State (Guitar Tab)

Dane Cobain – In a State

CAPO ON THIRD FRET

VERSE: Em, G

CHORUS: Em G, Am

Verse One:

I was in a state of empathy,

all I cared about was everyone else.

Expensive liquor and therapy,

form the grounds of my emotional self.

Chorus:

As I walk along the streets on a cold and windy day,

with my guitar across my back, it seems like everybody’s in my way.

And there’s nothing I could do to change the man I am,

If I was someone else, I wouldn’t need your help to stand.

Verse Two:

I was in a storm of emotions,

a metaphorical rain in my head.

Every day I go through the motions,

knowing one day we will all be dead.

Chorus:

As I walk along the beach, below a star-filled Sunday sky,

I look forward to another week and wonder how the last one passed me by.

And I’ll play it back and forth in my head, since there’s nothing else better to do,

am I half alive or am I half dead? And will the morning bring something new?

Verse Three:

I was in a state of clarity,

as I stopped to take a look at the view.

Having seen the state of humanity,

I still give credit where credit is due.

Chorus:

I’ve seen a bridge in to the stars at the pinnacle of my dreams.

There’s never a place too far, or a vision too near, it seems.

And if the only place to go is the one inside my head,

then let the lyrics start to flow and let the guitar tab run red.
