Great Romances Of The 20th Century Tab By Taking Back Sunday



Song title: Great Romances of the 20th Century
Band: Taking Back Sunday
Album: Tell All Your Friends
Tabbed By: Matt


Ok i found a couple of tabs of this elsewhere but at best they only had
the rhythm guitar parts so i decided to do both parts. Guitar 1 is Eds parts
and Guitar 2 is Johns parts. TBS are prob the best new band at the moment, so if you havent
already got the album please go and buy it. Because of the song structure some of the names
of the parts may seem strange but ive included a song structure at the end to simplify it.
Ive also put the times of each part to make it easier to read.

This is the first single off the album and is one of the best songs, cool video as well.

Lyrics

September never stays this cold
where I come from
And you know
Im not one for complaining,
But I love the way youd roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
fall apart

This wont mean a thing come tomorrow
and thats exactly how Ill make it seem
Cause I'm still not sleeping,
thinking Ive crawled home from worse than this

So please, please (please)
Im running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy!)
and I never said Id take this
I never said I'd take this lying down

She says
"come on, come on, lets just get this over with
She says
"come on, come on, lets just get this over with
(I never said Id take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and I've crawled home from worse than this)
She says
"come on, come on, lets just get this over with
She says
"come on, come on.."

You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...

You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come... you come in close

I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
but I've crawled home from worse than this

If it's not keeping you up nights
then whats the point
then whats the point
then whats the point
then whats the point

I'm in your room
now is this turning you on
am I turning you on?

I'm in your room
are you turned on?

I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm thinking maybe
are you turned on,
are you turned on?
