Em
I need someone, a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
C
Could it be you
Em
Could it be you
Situation gets rough
Then I start to panic
It's not enough
It's just a habit
C
Hey kid you're sick
Em
Darling this is it
C D5/F#
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
Yeah yeah, they do it all the time
Em
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record
C
Oh yeah well don't get so distressed
Em
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed
(Brian and Gordon do their own thing, sorry i can't
tab this part out)
x= slap mute (for this part Brian plays with his left hand over the
neck of the guitar)
I take one one one 'cause you left me
And two two two for my family
And 3 3 3 for my heartache
And 4 4 4 for my headaches
Em
And 5 5 5 for my lonely
And 6 6 6 for my sorrow
And 7 7 7 for no tomorrow
And 8 8 8 I forget what 8 was for
And 9 9 9 for a lost god
And 10 10 10 for everything everything everything everything
C D5/F#
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
Yeah yeah, they do it all the time (repeat)

Subject: TAB:Kiss Off by the Violent Femmes
Here is my (I think) semi-decent transcription of Kiss Off by the Violent
Femmes from their debut. If any one has any additions or corrections, please send 'em in.
The only tough thing about this song (Texts of songs ) is that the strumming pattern is a bit
weird. I don't know how to explain it, but play w/ it a bit & you should get
it.
C Am (pick the C chord from
verse is Am until "could it be you, could it be you?" the bottom up then
down a couple strings.
Am again until it goes to the C on "if you're just sick", then back to Am...
the transition chord is a G (between this & chorus.)
E G E G
you can all just kiss off into the air, behind my back I can see them
E G E D
stare, they'll hurt me bad but I won't mind, they'll hurt me bad, they do it
G D G D
all the time (yeah yeah) yeah they do it all the time (yeah yeah)..etc.
those chorus D's are a bit weirdly strummed too...just listen tho'.
back to Am for the "Permanent Record" verse...for the break I usually play
something like Am-C-G-Am-C-G-D-G-D...I don't worry about being too precise
though, I think it probably changes a bit every time they play it. Just wig out
a lot, especially on the last D's, & you'll be fine. For Gordon's 1-10 count,
just come in on an Am gradually until
"Everythingeverythingeverythingeverything!" which is a G. Last chorus is the
same as the 1st, end the song (Texts of songs ) on a Am.
