Capo: 2.
This is a copy of the previous tab, just transposed to capo on fret 2. This makes easier
the chord previously labeled, "F#/F." With capo 2, one just has to play an Em chord (at
the start of the 'chorus') and drop his or her finger on the D string 1 fret (to fret 1).
So it goes from Em (022000) to Em/D# (021000) <--possibly wrong name of chord. But just
drop a 1 finger 1 fret and it will give you the tonal clash.
CI'm staring out into that vaccum again
C/EFrom the back porch of my mind
DmThe only thing thats alive
I'm all thereG is
CAnd I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned C/Ered as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
You know I'll Dmcall you eventually, when I wanna talk
'Til then you're Ginvisible.
Am Am/D#(see note above) Dm
'CausGe theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
Am Am/G# Dm G
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth
Am Am/G# Dm
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
GI feel nothing for them. I feel Gnothing, nothing
Interlude:
C, G, Dm, G
C, G, Dm, G
Am, Am/G#, Dm, G
CWell, I need a break from the city again
I think I'll sC/Ehip myself back west
I got a Dmfriend there, she says, "hey, Gany time."
CUnless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
she's under C/Eno obligation to indulge every whim
And I'm so uDmngrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
And I keep forgGetting it
Am Am/G# Dm G
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Am Am/G# Dm G
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
Am Am/G# Dm
I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
GI have some where I die, I have Gsome where we all die."
Interlude:
C, G, Dm, G
C, G, Dm, G
Am, Am/G#, Dm, G
Loud Part: Not sure on this part.
Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.
CI'm thinking of quitting drinking again
C/EI know i said that a couple times
And I'm always cDmhanging my mind, well, i guess i Gam
But theres this Cburn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
And when I C/Ekneel at the toilet
And the mornings clean light pours Dmin through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn Ghypocrite
Am Am/G# Dm G
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
Am Am/G# Dm G
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
Am Am/G# Dm
And so I do what I do and at least I exist
What could Gmean more than this?
What wouldG mean more?
Mean more?
Interlude:
C, G, Dm, G
C, G, Dm, G
Am, Am/G#, Dm
Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:
x20200 It's essentially C Dm.
That's sort of it.
