Carnivore Tab

Note: Heavy accents on specific stings work well and tend to sound more
like
Jewel's version. Example: The 5th string should be either plucked or
heavily
accented while playing the "C" chord durring the Intro and first few
verses
of the song. And likewise the 6th string should be accented in an Em
chord.
In the begining part of the chorus,(Em - C), I've found that strong
downstrokes 
with a few up strokes mixed in sound good! Listen to the song and just
try
your best to play what you hear.

  C                                   Em        C                       
Em
So much space can fit in a sigh, more than words can say.
  C                           Em                      G      
I'm left here with my hands all akward, trying to win 
  D            (repeat)
space. I used to know you, but not anymore. Your substance
has been subtracted, word by word. 

                  D                                                C
 Silence in my ears where once you offered your 
                             D                                      C
conviction, your promises are dry beads that crack with
no stalgia. 
                        C                    Em        C   
 That's all right, that's ok. Had no business 
             D                    C                           
giving myself to you anyway. I'll be carful next time for
sure.. 
                            Em                 C
 And I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart...
  Em                C                                 D        C      D
never trust my pink fleshy heart to a ...car--ni--vor........., 
          Em
to a carnivor.

Your soul is an ink stain. Your perfection is a mend. (??)
Your as fragile as your thoughtlessness, strong as you can bend.
You could only believe in angry oaths, had all your high 
hopes through a telescope. Lavender haunted you so I could
only laugh in yellow.  

 (Said you've lived with farther than)?? ingenious
subtleties and slipped through the pavement of half of 
good and evil.





 You know I'm pitiful but I won't do it again, this time
I'll be my own best friend and take back my songs and my
poetry, this time I won't be so easy to read..

and I'll never trust my pink fleshy heart, never trust 
my pink fleshy heart, never trust my pink fleshy heart
to a,carnivor....to a carnivor, to a carnivor.
