Placebo "Teenage Angst"

Written by Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Robert Schultzberg, from "Placebo" (1996)

Tabbed by Stefan Hauschildt at 100272.617@compuserve.com or http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/mnmol

Their debut album is really cool, and this song is kind of nice and I guess rather cynical than depressive.

It's also not very hard so I tabbed it. The only problem I have is that the CD doesn't come with the lyrics

printed so I had to work it out myself at first, but fortunately hlimper@pi.net came up with a better version

later so now it's quite right, please write to me if you think there are any corrections left to be done!

Anyway, I'll leave you to "Teenage Angst" now.

Tuning:

standard

Chords:

         E A D G B E

A#add2 - X X 8 7 6 8

A#     - X X 8 7 6 6

D#maj7 - X X 8 8 8 10

D#6    - X X 8 8 8 8

G#     - 4 6 6 5 4 4

Gm     - 3 5 5 3 3 3

F      - 1 3 3 2 1 1

Instead of playing A# (or D#) for 4 (2) measures, Brian jumps between A#add2 and A# (D#maj7 and D#6) a couple of

times before before skipping to the next chord. Those who know the song will know what I mean, I hope. So I worked

out these figures so it's easier to read above the lyrics (with all the jumps that would be tough). You should get

famliar with these first by playing them alone first to see how they're actually used later:

Figure 1 (A#-Fig):

A#add2 A# A#add2 A#

Figure 2 (D#-Fig):

D#maj7 D#6 D#maj7 D#6 G#

Intro:

A#-Fig A#-Fig

Verse 1 (band in):

A#-Fig                                     A#-Fig

       Shine the headlight straight into my eye, like the roadkill I'm paralised

D#-Fig                       A#

       You see through my disguise

A#-Fig                                   A#-Fig                              D#-Fig                       A#

       At the drive-in a double feature,        pull the lever break the feve - her and say your last goodbye

Chorus:

      Gm           F            A#

Since I was born I started to decay

    Gm           F            A#

Now nothing ever ever goes my way

Verse 2:

A#-Fig                                        A#-Fig                          D#-Fig                 A#

       One fluid gesture like stepping back in time, trapped in amber, petrified, and still not satisfied

A#-Fig                                            A#-Fig                                                  D#-Fig

       Airs and social graces elecution so divine        I'll stick to my needle and my favorite waste of time

                      A#

Both spineless and sublime

      Gm           F            A#

Since I was born I started to decay

    Gm           F            A#

Now nothing ever ever goes my    way

Outro (verse and chorus part repeated without vocals):

A#-Fig A#-Fig D#-Fig A#   A#-Fig A#-Fig D#-Fig A#   Gm F A# Gm F A#
