tab by elijah carlyle (frotus@juno.com)

this was really hard to figure out--not only is NONE of it really guitar,

but it's tuned down about half of a chromatic step (although that

could have been my recording--tapes tend to slow down)

a B6 (i think it's a B6)

can be played like this:

	-4-	-4-	-4-	-4-	-2-	---
						and an F#m7 (i'm pretty sure about that one) is this:

-2----0-
-2----2-

-2-or-2- (if anyone knows a better way of playing an

-2----4-  F#m7, please tell me)
-4----4-
-2------

	E	C#m	E
And	now we're	just like old	friends

	C#m	E
	just can't	pretend

	C#m	B6	F#m
	lovers make	amends

We are reasons so unreal

we can't help but feel

something has been lost

	A	F#m	E
But	please I	know you're just like	me

	C#m	A	E
next	time I	promise we'll be	perfect

Tabbed by Michael Ries

Here is another great song off ADORE,you're going to want to

use a clean electric guitar.When strumming use a percussive style and use muting

ocassionly,I would tab it out but would take to long and it would be pointless

so hopefully you can figure this out.Tune down 1/2 step.

******************************************************************

From: "syn"

And now for something completely different...

This song undoubtedly uses an alternate tuning.

If you listen closely to the Viper Room track of Perfect,

you'll notice that Billy tunes his A string up to B.

This was verified by watching his hands during the Letterman and

Regis & Kathy Lee performances.

The tabbed riffs are only meant to be references.

Play to the song and use natural strumming.

If you have no rhythm, go and beat yourself mercilessly with

knotted cords and whips to a metronome.

("If you are going to clap, you must clap in time").
