South - Paint The Silence
Tabbed by: Claw_daddy
Email: southerntabs@sympatico.ca

The chords throughout the song are 
along the lines of this:

e--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
b--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
g--2-2-2-2-7/9-9-9-9--|
d--4-4-2-2-7/9-9-9-9--|
a--4-4-0-0-5/7-7-7-7--|
e----------0-0-0-0-0--|

There are two guitar riffs that stand
out the most, the first one (might
even be a xylophone) is played after
a few verses, the other one is heard
throughout the song:

Figure 1
e---4-4----4----|
b-5--5---5---5--|
g---------------|
d---------------|
a---------------|
e---------------|

(This one changes throughout
but this is the just of it)

Figure 2
e-----------------------|
b------5---3------------|
g--2h4---4---4-2h4-2/1--|
d-----------------------|
a-----------------------|
e-----------------------|

The lyrics are as follows:

How can you say your life is empty
So late in the day
Why would you stay another second
Now your sights got in the way
A combination of love and aggression
Another second lived
Don't paint the silence black now save me
Don't leave it a day
You got a right to stand or die so maybe
You take chances all the same
Pain comes in stages if we don't make it
Nothing changes
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned felling for just a piece of mind
It's the reason why your teething side frustrates me
Don't leave me to pick up on your questions
Not even a day
It's alright to finish up your sentence
You talk all the same
Pain comes in stages if we don't make it
Nothing changes
