Chords for : The Cure - The Figurehead
--------------------------------------
Guitar ONE (power chords) :
Intro : C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
Sharp and open, leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting in the cold light
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 1)
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly sqashed fly
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (Rhythm Figure 1 twice, then 6, then 1 again)
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Running into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while.
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)
Eb5 F#5 Eb5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 4)
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 (with Rhythm Figure 5 - with every F5)
(I can never say no)
I can never say no to anyone but you.
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (with Rhythm Figure 2 twice, then 6, then 2 again)
Too many secrets, too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence, in despair of time
I will never be clean again
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)
Touch her eyes, press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again.
