Here in My Room

Song

Author/Artist: Incubus

Title: Here in my room

I downloaded a video of this from an Incubus fan site and liked it, and then it was

on 'Live in Japan' cd as well, so I decided to translate the piano parts onto guitar.

1 is in open position and would be the left hand on the piano playing the deeper

notes, guitar 2 is with a capo on fret 12 (an octave up basically) and resembles

the right hand on. There's also the added parts of Brandon on guitar in the intro

and under the solo. Live Mike tends to play the solo with the guitar on his lap

and goes back to the keyboard after, however I have seen it played on the decks

by Kilmore, but I've tabbed it out anyway.

The order's a bit awkward so I'll try explain it.

First all 3 parts play the intro, then the two pieces showing the piano pattern

repeat, Brandon's guitar goes into the rhythm section below. The two piano pieces

then play again through the verse, and then the capo'd guitar plays the 'end of

verse' section, whilst the open guitar just repeats the intro section again.

After that it's quite simple, but just wanted to try and explain the first few lines.

Lyrics (seeklyrics.com):

This party is old and uninviting

Participants in black and white

You enter in full-blown deck of color

Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world would fall apart

In a fiction-worthy wind

I wouldn't change a thing

Now that you're here

Love is a verb

Here in my room (3x)

Your love is a verb

Here in my room (3x)

You enter and close the door behind you

Now show me the world seen from the stars

If only the lights would dim on winter

I'm wary of eyes upon the skies

If the world would fall apart

In a fiction-worthy wind

I wouldn't change a thing

Now that you're here

Love is a verb

Here in my room (3x)

Your love is a verb

Here in my room (3x)

Tractor beam into your incision

Spinning as free ? vicious world

I came here expecting next to nothing

So thank you for being that kind of girl

Kind of girl (10x)
