Intro

Dsus4 D4+

YDes I know whoA you remind me of, a gDirl I think I used to knAow

C♯m

YAes I'd see her when the day got colder,

C♯m

oAn those days when it felt like snow

You know I even think that she stared like you,

she used to just stand there and stare

And roll her eyes right up to heaven

and make like I just wasn't there

AGnd she used to fall downE a lot

TGhat girl was always falling agaiEn and again

ADnd I used to sometimes tAry to catch her

BBmut I never even C♯mcaught hAer name

And sometimes we would spend the night

just rolling about on the floor

And I remember even though it felt soft at the time,

I always used to wake up sore

You know I even think that she smiled like you,

she used to just stand there and smile

And her eyes would go all sort of far away

and stay like that for quite a while

And I remember she used to fall down a lot

That girl was always falling again and again

And I used to sometimes try to catch her

But I never even caught her name

Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her

But I never even caught her name

torture

I'm in the room without a light

The room without a view

I'm here for one more treacherous night

Another night with you

It tortures me to move my hands

To try to move at all

And pulled

My skin so tight it screams

And screams and screams

And pulls some more

Hanging like this

Like a vampire bat

Hanging like this

Hanging on your back

I'm helpless again

My body is cut and broken

It's shattered and sore

My body is cut wide open

I can't stand anymore

Hanging like this

Like a vampire bat

Hanging like this

Hanging on your back

Oh it's torture

And I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

if only tonight we could sleep

If only tonight we could sleep

In a bed made of flowers

If only tonight we could fall

In a deathless spell

If only tonight we could slide

Into deep black water

And breathe

And breathe...

Then an angel would come

With burning eyes like stars

And bury us deep

In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry

As our faces slipped away

And the rain would cry

Don't let it end...

why can't i be you?

YDmou're so gorgeous I'll do aA♯nything G

I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins

You're so perfect, you're so right as rain

You make me make me hungry again

EFverything you do is irreEsistible

EFverything you do is simply kissaEble

A♯

WGhy can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath

I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death

You're so wonderful too good to be true

You make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate

Everything you do is quite angelicate

Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around

You turn the whole world upside down

I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue

You make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy

Everything you do is quite delicious

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant!!!

the snake pit

Well we're a mile under the ground

And I'm thinking that it's Christmas

And I'm kissing you hard

Like I've got very important business

And no-one knows

And no-one sees us

Because they're drinking their selves senseless

And I'm writhing

And I'm writhing in the snake pit

Well I'm out in a car

And it's just full of stupid girls

And I've forgotten how to speak

And I just can't remember a word

And my eyes feel like they're bursting

And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing

And I'm writhing in the snake pit

how beautiful you are

The intro bass riff is:

The chords are:

Intro

Am D C

YAmou want to know why I haDte you?

WCell I~ll try andD explain...

You remember that day in Paris

When we wandered through the rain

And promised to each other

That we~d always think the same

And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set

And waited for the night

Outside a glittering building

Of glittering glass and burning light...

And in the road before us stood a weary greyish man

Who held a child upon his back

A small boy by the hand

The three of them were dressed in rags and thinner than air

And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

TBmhe father~s eyes saiAd beautiful

HBmow beautiful yoAu are

TBmhe boy~s eyes said hoAw beautiful

SBmhe shimmers like a star

TAmhe child~s eyes uttereEmd nothing

BFut mute and utter joy

AAmnd filled my heart witEmh shame for us

FFor the way we are

(AmThe way we Emare) F

D Am D Am D Am F F

I turned to look at you

To read my thoughts upon your face

And gazed so deep into your eyes

So beautiful and strange

Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream

-I hate these people staring, make them go away from me-

The father~s eyes said beautiful

How beautiful you are

The boy~s eyes said how beautiful

She shimmers like a star

The child~s eyes uttered nothing

But pride and utter joy

And stilled my heart with sadness

For the way we are

ADnd this is why AmI hate you

ADnd how I undAmerstand

TDhat no-one evAmer knows or loves anFother

OAmr loves another

hey you!!!

Hey you!!!

Yes you

Yes you the one that looks like Christmas

Come over here and kiss me

Kiss me

Hey you!!!

Yes you

Yes you the one that looks delirious

Come over here and kiss me

Kiss me

just like heaven

"AShow me how you Edo that trick, the Bmone that makes me scrDeam" she said

"AThe one that makes mEe laugh" she said, Bmand threw her arms arDound my neck

"AShow me how you Edo it and I proBmmise you I promDise that

IA'll run away wEith you, I'lBml run away wDith you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and kissed her head

And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow

"Why are you so far away?" she said

"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you

That I'm in love with you"

YF♯mou, softG and only

YF♯mou, lostG and lonely

YF♯mou stranGge as angels

DDancing in the deepest oceans

Twisting in the water

You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape, I must have been asleep for days

And moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone alone alone above a raging sea

That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me

You, soft and only

You, lost and lonely

You just like heaven

all i want

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal

Tonight I'm howling inside

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal

Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want is to be with you again

And all I want is to hold you like a dog

And all I want is to be with you again

With you again

Just to hold you like a dog

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal

Tonight I'm losing control

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal

Tonight oh I'm getting so low

And all I want is to be with you again

And all I want is to hold you like a dog

And all I want is to be with you again

With you again

Just to hold you like a dog

That's all I want

hot hot hot!!!

Bass

Am F

TAmhe first time I saw lightning stFrike I saw it underground

Six deep feet below the street the sky came crashing down

For a second that place was lost in space then everything went black

I left that basement burning and I never went back

The second time I saw it strike I saw it at sea

It lit up all the fish like rain and rained them down on me

For a second that boat was still afloat then everything went black

I left it underwater and I never went back

HDmey hey hey!!! But I likeE7 it when the lightning comes

Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot

Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack

Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered

Feeling hot hot hot!!!

The third time I saw lightning strike it hit me in bed

It threw me around and left me for dead

For a second that room was on the moon then everything went black

I left that house on fire and I never went back

Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when the lightning comes

Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot

Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack

Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered

Feeling hot hot hot!!!

one more time

Two progressions:

for the verse it's F (Am-C) Dm Dm/C

and for the chorus, it's Bb Cm Gm

IF'd love to touch the sky tonight, I'd loDmve to touch the sky

So take me in your arms and lift me like a child

And hold me up so high and never let me go

Take me, take me in your arms tonight

A♯

HGmold me, hold me up so high and never let me down

Hold me, hold me up so high to touch the sky just one more time

Take me in your arms tonight

Take me in your arms

Just one more time

like cockatoos

Like many Cure songs, the there is really only one real riff for this song

with other cool stuff added in (like the string orchestrations at the end).

Anyway, the main (and intro) riff are these:

Intro

4x) MAIN RIFF

[Chords are FFCCFF BbBbGG G#G#BbBb G#G#GFF]

The ever so cool lyrics are:

She walked out of her house

And looked around

At all the gardens that looked back at her house

(Like all the faces that quiz when you smile)

And he was standing at the corner

Where the road turned dark

A part of shiny wet

Like blood the rain fell black down on the street

And kissed his feet she fell

Her head an inch away from heaven

And her face pressed tight

And all around the night sang out like cockatoos

And in her head

A picture of a boy who left her loney in the rain

(And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)

icing sugar

You're delicious

Dreaming

Slack jawed

Green eyed

Rub my nose in

Icing sugar

Smooth as

When this cold and deadly

Blade

Kisses the fruit

So soft

And gently breathing

Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you

I'll empty you

As empty as a boy can be

As empty

As a boy can be

the perfect girl

a thousand hours

D Bm F♯m A

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

For how much longer

Can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day

Just to feel my heart for a second

A thousand hours just thrown away

Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

shiver and shake

You're just a waste of time

You're just a babbling face

You're just three sick holes that run like sores

You're a fucking waste

You're like a slug on the floor

Oh you're useless and ugly

And useless and ugly

And I shiver and shake

When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces

I want to smash you up and screaming

I want to smash you helpless

Down on the floor

Smash you until you're not here anymore

And I shiver and shake

Shiver and shake

fight

This is the track that closes -Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-, a total hopeful

track for Cure fans alike (but I am not a critic so I will not go on).

I have transcribed the basic guitar riff for the verses, the synth line for

the verses as well as chorus, and the guitar chords for the chorus.

The verse riff is:

(make sure you slide between the last two notes, meaning slide between

fret 1 and 6).

The synthesizer riff (fit for guitar) for the verse is:

(the double vertical lines in between means to repeat the riff)

For the ~Fight! Fight! Fight!~ part, the guitar plays a D5 chord (with

three staccato strums -hence the fight! fight! fight! part- it plays

D5 for about a second after that, then plays the C5 for another second,

then it plays C5 staccato three times. In between is the synth line.

If you work on it, you will know what I mean.

Synth lines inbetween -Fight! Fight! Fight!-

D5 C5 C5 D5

That is basically it. The song ends on D5 and that is about it.

Sometimes there's nothing to feel

Sometimes there's nothing to hold

Sometimes there's no time to run away

Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry

The times it hurts just to breathe

And then it seems like there's no-one left

And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight

Just push it away

Fight fight fight

Just push it until it breaks

Fight fight fight

Don't cry at the pain

Fight fight fight

Or watch yourself burn again

Fight fight fight

Don't howl like a dog

Fight fight

Just fill up the sky

Fight fight fight

Fight til you drop

Fight fight fight

And never never

Never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts

And when the nightmares begin

Remember you can fill up the sky

You don't have to give in

Never give in
