Flakes

This is just my simplified version of the tabs already here which I find much easier to play.

Basically you're just using F, C, Am and G all throughout. Listen to the song and you'll

the rhythm right.

F C

This song

Am G F

Is one I never thought that I'd play

C

But if you want me gone

Am G

There are kinder ways to say

F C Am G

So long than spitting in my face

F

They don’t teach these things in school

They just lay down the rules

C Am G

Which are there for you to break

F C Am G

Which are there for you to break

F C

If I’m wrong

Am G F

Then dust me off and put me in my place, but

C

Drop a bomb

Am G F

Shall you blow me away without even a trace?

C Am G

I’ll be gone and I won’t give chase

F

‘Cause when you’re in pieces, you pick up the bits, and nothing fits, and the wind blows

C Am G

You away

F C Am G

Oh, the wind blows you away

F C Am G

Oh, the wind blows you away

F C Am G

Oh, the wind blows you away

[vocalization]

F C

I pray

Am G F

There will come a time when I think of you and I smile

C

These days

Am G F

Everything seems to last only a while

C

Remember the names

Am G

For the day when we’d have a child

F

But the trouble with dreams, they’re not what they seem, ‘cause when you awake, they

through your fingers

C Am G

In flakes

F C Am G

They fall through your fingers in flakes

F C Am G

They fall through your fingers in flakes

F C Am G

They fall through your fingers in flakes
