Madina Lake
10 - "Statistics"
Attic to Eden (2009)

I only took the time to tab this in Drop D, which most people would think is easier, and 
works.
I only did by ear so it may not be entirely correct but, i just wanted to play to the 
somehow!
It's so catchy.

They might play this in Drop C, but for now i choose to play it in D ...

^___^ I'll try to be as helpful as i can.

Lyrics:

0:06 You're a wolf, you are.
Dressed like a fox,
Got me tied up in knots over you

0:14 But I think that I'm just a flavor you crave on instinct,
'Cause you don't feel ashamed,
But it won't make a difference.

0:28 ...

0:30 I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I love when you inflict it on me.

0:47 You can take my time,
'Cause after all, well,
The earth's just a ball that revolves around you.
And all my friends and family try to warn me,
But like a moth to flame,
Darling, lead the way,
'Cause I'm afraid of change,
So meet me in your bedroom.

1:19 I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
I can't get myself off of...

1:48 I just caught you like a disease.
It's terminal and I'm going down.
But you're a faith that's worse than death
And I gotta get out of this mess.
         F5        G5
You're a wolf, you are.
    D5
You are.

2:15 (Only a statistic to you.)

2:24 I've been wrong so many times.
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside.
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I can't get myself off of you.
I'm only a statistic to you.
                        A5
I think I'm addicted to you.

Enjoy playing, it's quite a straight-forward song (mind you this is a rough tab) and so 
catchy..! :)
oh, personally my favourite, no doubt. Thanks!
