* This song was recorded in studio on a 7-string guitar. This tab is laid
out for a 6-string guitar in standard tuning. This is NOT exactly how
it is played on the album, but it still works well.
* Additionally, there is most likely more than two guitars playing on the
album at once (Nick and Tim separately?) - when they differ, it is noted
below.
Intro (w/Distortion, Palm Mute & Octaver):
==========================================
N.C.
1:------------------------ 2:------------------------ 3:------------------------ 4:------------------------ 5:----5--4-----4---------- 6:-2--------5-----5--4--5-
* Note - this will not sound right UNLESS you own an octaver. If you don't,
You'll have to tune the 6 string down to C# and that makes it mighty
difficult to play the rest of the song (or else just heavily palm mute).
Riff 1 (w/Distortion):
======================
F# D/ C#/ A C#/ A G# A (All 5th Chords)

N.C.
1:-------------------------------- 2:-------------------------------- 3:--------*11-----11-------------- 4:-11-12-------12----12--11--12\\- 5:-------------------------------- 6:--------------------------------

skin of your thumb.

Nick:
I'd like to stay here just like this
It's just a momentary bliss
That's all we can hope for
That's a reason to cope for
This life, this life and no more
---> Play Riff 2 over:
SA:
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
What you have
You found the cure
And Morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Nick:
The moment's running down a mountain
It can be captured from a fountain
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Sometimes all that it can be
Absence of agony
Pleasure from the lack of pain
---> Play Riff 4 over:
SA:
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
What you have
You found the cure
And Morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Nick:
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then I make it mine
Nothing will compare to your realization
When you come to find out your new object of fixation
---> Play Chorus over:
I try to freeze time try to freeze time for your mind
Perfect snapshot to always rewind
Golden buttered jam golden buttered jam for your slam
Remember it in your synapse diagram
---> Play Riff 1 over:
SA:
Sweetness is your bein'
Zen human walkin'
Steppin' out from shadows
Flowin' like a breeze soft and
When dawn unveils the mornin' star risen
Feel the light feel the love your christened
---> Play Riff 5 over:
With this life not ours not for long
But for the taking take it
The birth light breaking break it
Between the light and dark is a seem
That is caving in
Mutating rearranging your soul
Changing form again
---> Play Riff 6 over:
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
What you have
You found the cure
And Morse codes for rapture
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Nick:
Serendipitous my travels throughout time
I grab a moment like a thief and then I make it mine
Nothing will compare to the realization
When you come to find out your new object of fixation
---> Play Chorus over:
I try to freeze time try to freeze time for your mind
Perfect snapshot to always rewind
Golden buttered jam golden buttered jam for your slam
Remember it in your synapse diagram
---> Play Outro Riff over:
SA:
You will be immortal man
One in the hand
You will know exactly then
What you have
You found the cure
And Morse codes for rapture
Both:
Get with your rhythm
Get with your nature
