r/Artist: Incubus
Title: Here in my room
I downloaded a video of this from an Incubus fan site and liked it, and then it was
on 'Live in Japan' cd as well, so I decided to translate the piano parts onto guitar.
1 is in open position and would be the left hand on the piano playing the deeper
notes, guitar 2 is with a capo on fret 12 (an octave up basically) and resembles
the right hand on. There's also the added parts of Brandon on guitar in the intro
and under the solo. Live Mike tends to play the solo with the guitar on his lap
and goes back to the keyboard after, however I have seen it played on the decks
by Kilmore, but I've tabbed it out anyway.
The order's a bit awkward so I'll try explain it.
First all 3 parts play the intro, then the two pieces showing the piano pattern
repeat, Brandon's guitar goes into the rhythm section below. The two piano pieces
then play again through the verse, and then the capo'd guitar plays the 'end of
verse' section, whilst the open guitar just repeats the intro section again.
After that it's quite simple, but just wanted to try and explain the first few lines.

Lyrics (seeklyrics.com):
This party is old and uninviting
Participants in black and white
You enter in full-blown deck of color
Nothing is the same after tonight
If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here
Love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Your love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim on winter
I'm wary of eyes upon the skies
If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here
Love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Your love is a verb
Here in my room (3x)
Tractor beam into your incision
Spinning as free ? vicious world
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
Kind of girl (10x
