That final lick differs a bit through the repeats, but he sticks to that
general idea, I just like to improvise instead

MID-SECTION
The acoustic guitar is barely heard in the mid-section, I don't actually
think it plays anything for the mid-section but here's the rhythm guitar's

LYRICS
> The titling and numbering of the verses and Chorus' is just to show what
part of the tab to refer to for the guitar
VERSE #1
I tear a page from the book of faces,
throw your letters in an open fire.
I couldn't say that I still despise you,
but I'm finding it hard to not to.
After all that was said and done,
it's time this thing was over.
Did I want you to change your mind?
Well I don't honestly think so.
Pre-Chorus #1
Picking me up like a love-sick puppet,
you were dancing me over a burning flame.
You kept pulling the strings, the few strands left remaining.
You just wouldn't let me go.
Chorus #1
Running out of words,
running out of lines,
running out of things to say.
We were running out of heart,
running out of love,
running out of reasons to stay.
VERSE #2
There was something so deeply flawed,
in the beginning we tried to deny it.
Just like a crack in a china doll,
a masquerade in silence.
Where we try to recognise,
just who exactly we are trying to hide.
We played our roles in this grand design,
fooled ourselves in our own disguises.
Chorus #2
Running out of pills,
running out of smoke,
running out of fine white wines.
We were running out of road,
running out of fuel,
running out of places to hide.
It's a feast of consequences,
facing up to a feast of consequences,
bearing down on a feast of consequences,
it looks like we're dining alone...
MID-SECTION
Pre-Chorus #2
Table for one for a word drunk poet,
losing my mind in a dancing flame.
It kept pulling the strings, the few strands left remaining,
it just wouldn't let me go.
Chorus #3
Running out of world,
running out of hope,
running out of resources.
We were running out of time,
running out of space,
running out of tomorrows.
If we only knew then,
just what we know now,
would we have changed our minds?
Would we have changed our minds?
Running out of time,
running out of time,
running out of time.
CODA
It's a feast of consequences,
it's a feast of consequences,
it's a feast of consequences.
Looks like I'm dining alone...

That's the entire song (only accounting for the acoustic guitar.) Hope the
lyrics come in handy, and I hope you enjoy the tab, my email's at the top,
let me know if I've messed anything up - I'm fairly certain I haven't. But
if I have, don't be shy to let me know. Enjoy the Fish y'all
