The Killer Inside

Better Than Ezra
Tab
★4.7(6)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

SONG: The Killer Inside

BAND: Better Than Ezra

ALBUM: Deluxe

This is a more complete tab of this song than was out there.

I corrected the intro and main riff, put things in order, and

tabbed the bridge and solo that were missing. Cheers!

Update: 6/10/09 I fixed a mistake on Fill A that was duplicated

throughout the whole tab

COMPLETE LYRICS

She believes

that I'd be better off without her

And she believes in me

Well she believes

that time can make things right (yeah)

And I wanna believe

there's been a change in me

And I

Hope that she believes

Cause I

wonder if she sees

the killer inside me

The lights go down

And the clouds are building outside

you close the door and turn the key

but there's no place to hide
