This song figured out by Jon King (augosaid.u.t.s.j@juno.com)

Okay, this is not ALL of the song, I didn't have enough time for it

(yet), this is mostly just the intro, verses, and chorus.

There are obviously two guiatars in this song but I'm only putting the

tab down for one (and SOME parts of the background guitar)

Intro:

|------0-------------0---------------0---------------0-----------|
|--3-------------3---------------3---------------3---------------|
|---------4--------------4---------------4----------------4------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0-------------0---------------0--------------0----------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse: (play 8X)

Cynical...

|---------0--------------------------|
|--3---------3------------3----------|
|-----4----------4-----0----0--------|
|--------------------4---------------|
|--0---------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|

There's a slight change in the guitar playing at the end of each verse

but it sounds ok if you just keep playing that.

Chorus: (play twice)

Bli__________nd Words...

|------------------------------|----------------------|
|--3----------------3---------|--3--------------------|
|----------4-----4-----4-----|------4-----4-----------|
|-------4-----4-----------4--|--4------4-----4--------|
|--0--------------------------|-----------------------|
|------------------------------|----------------------|

(Not sure about the above

part)

That's just about all I've gotten to so far, I'm pretty sure most it's

pretty accurate except for the part I said wasn't.

I'll try getting them rest down some other time.

Lyrics:

Cynical, it's just your way

You play the doubting thomas

Feel the scars and wipe the stains.

So you fight, and retreat

And talk yourself out of believing

In any peace that you can't see

Blind words you call

Blind words will fall

Logical, you can't find

Any reason to believe in love,

you are blind

Crucify, and deny

Pass the blame and burn the mission

Till dust remains and wash your hands

Blind words you call

Blind words will fall

That's it, Some other time I'll tab the rest out.

later.
