Sake of the World by Glen Phillips Transcribed by Michael Koby Ok first things first, I figured this out by watching the DVD a few times. This might not be entirely accurate but I've been playing it this way and it sounds pretty close. Also, I fixed some of the words, mine still might not be 100% but "subjects art" made zero sense to me, so I replaced it with "subjects arch", which I think is the correct lyric. Also if this might not be 100% timing perfect (since I'm really bad at those kinds of things) but it should be close enough to get you started. Also there are probably some florishes that I missed but I leave these up to you since everyone has diffrent ideas. Enjoy!!! INTRO (x2 or x4, you pick): E----------------1---------- B-0-1-0-1-0----2-3--3-3/5--- G-0-0-0-0-0--3---3--3-3/5--- D-0-0-0-0-0--0---3--3-3/5--- A-x-x-x-x-x------1--1-1/3--- E-3-3-3-3-3----------------- VERSE ONE G D Bb C (And) I'm fairly aware we talk too much G D Bb C It's so easy for me to get out of touch Eb Bb2 A Eb Go and miss my part in the show G D Bb C -> Eb You'd be much better served if you let me go Eb Bb2 A Eb There's something that you want me to be Bb2 A Eb It's impossible, can't you see? D2 A Eb Bb2 So for the sake of the world Eb/F G2 Just forget about me VERSE TWO (same as Verse One) We have reached the decline of the subject's arch So you won't be surprised when I miss my mark Like a slow-mo airplane crash You see what's coming next But you can't turn back There's something that you want me to be It's impossible, can't you see? For the sake of the world Just forget about me BRIDGE G2 D2 Bb C (x2) then play intro but with the following variation E----------------1------------- B-0-1-0-1-0----2-3--3-3--11-1-- G-0-0-0-0-0--3---3--3-3--00-0-- (x2) D-0-0-0-0-0--0---3--3-3--22-2-- A-x-x-x-x-x------1--1-1--33-3-- E-3-3-3-3-3-------------------- VERSE THREE (Same as other Verses) There's a scared look in your eye But I warned you now, didn't I?
