Gasoline Chords - The Airborne Toxic Event

C#G

{tab: All the time, awake|--You're still on my mind.}

A#mEm G#D But we were on our own--Almost all the time. C#G And she'll step away--For a second or two. A#mEm G#D And I close my eyes. And I think of you. F#C G#D A#mEm C#G We were only seventeen, we were holding in our screams F#C G#D A#mEm C#G) like we'd torn it from the pages of some lipstick magazine F#C G#D And you scratch and turn and say, A#mEm G#D F#C C#A# "let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream"--like gasoline Solo over Bb (similar to intro Bb C#G Those tender days--at your mother's house A#mEm G#D And your father would find my hand inside your blouse C#G But they tell me that--you're married now A#mEm G#D Oh my dear, I fear, I can't understand how F#C G#D A#mEm C#G We were only seventeen, we were holding back our screams F#C G#D A#mEm C#G like we'd torn our lives from the pages of some girly magazines F#C G#D And you scratch and turn and say, A#mEm G#D F#C C#G "let's burn these sheets down to the seams"--like gasoline

Solo

C# Fm A#m G# 2x A# Dm Gm D# if capoed) F#C G#D A#mEm C#G I was only twenty one, I wasn't having any fun F#C G#D A#mEm C#G And the words you said tore through my head like bullets from a gun F#C G#D And I shoulda just shown up and said, A#mEm G#D F#C "Get in this car, let's run" F#C G#D A#mEm C#G And these years have seen so many imitations turning green F#C G#D A#mEm C#G Each like the last, they go right past like credits on a screen F#C G#D But your memory blazes through me A#mEm G#D F#C C#G Burning everything--like gasoline ---------------- First solo (these are all tenth fret 10’s below.

Repeat, except 2nd time don't solo on F just wail on the chord. On the live acoustic version, violin plays this during the Dm repeat (which they should have done on the album) Fm(Bm) -13-13-1313-15-13-11-10-|

Watching them live, I see one guy plays the chords this way while the other plays with a capo on 3. So if you’re playing alone just fool with the placement of the chords to get the sound you want. I really over-did the tab for a song probably ten people have heard.
