First time tabbing/chording out a song.
Alkaline198's chords are mostly right, but he's missing a lot in the chorus.
Intro:
E B (x3)
C#m A
Verse 1:
EI remember a Abmrooftop, making C#mout
Downstairs the Acoppers screamed so louEd
I'd waited so Abmlong for that niC#mght
Then I just Aturned away
Pre-Chorus 1:
BAnd I know every C#mstreet on the WestA-Side
But I was Elost, Bunfound, not Aright
Maybe there's Esomething Bwrong Ainside
Verse 2:
ENow I've got Abmnowhere to gC#mo
My hands is Aall that I've goEt
I'm so sorry for Abmso many thiC#mngs
That I Ahaven't said yeBt
Pre-Chorus 2:
This is the C#mwaiting-room I Aspend my whole life Ein
They gave me a Bthousand hands so I could Acount my sins
If I'm Elucky maybe I'll Bfinish before the Aroof caves in
Chorus:
EI lost my Blife on the first Atry
Ab*
You found it miles down the line
AA swollen Eface with three first Bnames
EYou kissed the Btaste back in my Atongue
Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
AAnd then we Eslept for days and Bdays and days
EWhen we C#mwoke Aup, Emy heart all C#mchoked Aup
C#mHad to Bsay "I love Eyou"A; way too soon
But Eright there on your Bcouch you loved me Atoo
Right there Eon your couch you Bloved me Atoo
Bridge:
E B (x3)
C#m A
Verse 3:
ENineteen and Abmsober once or twiC#mce
I caught some Ajunkie's bad advicEe
Up to my Abmeyes in others' C#mproblems
Couldn't Asee, I'd never solve Bthem
Pre-Chorus 3:
I'm only C#mskin and bone and Apiss and pills Eunknown
I took my Blousy shot at Apublic recognition
Could never Epull the trigger Bif I wasn't Ashaking
Chorus:
EI lost my Blife on the first Atry
Ab*
You found it miles down the line
AA swollen Eface with three first Bnames
EYou kissed the Btaste back in my Atongue
Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
AAnd then we Eslept for days and Bdays and days
EWhen we C#mwoke Aup, Emy heart all C#mchoked Aup
C#mHad to Bsay "I love Eyou"A; way too soon
But Eright there on your Bcouch you loved me Atoo
Right there Eon your couch you Bloved me Atoo

*The Ab during the chorus is played by barring and A chord and adding the 4th fret of
the low E string (Ab)*

Sounds damn near perfect to me!
