Tuning:
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.
GI'm staring out into that vaccum again
G/BFrom the back porch of my mind
AmThe only thing thats alive
I'm all thereD is
GAnd I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned G/Bred as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
You know I'll Amcall you eventually, when I wanna talk
'Til then you're Dinvisible.
Em Em/D#(see note above) Am
'CausDe theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
EmAnd in the middle ofEm/D# drinks, maybe the Amfifth or the Dsixth
EmI'm completelyEm/D# alone at a tAmable of friends
DI feel nothing for them. I feel Dnothing, nothing
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am, D
GWell, I need a break from the city again
I think I'll sG/Bhip myself back west
I got a Amfriend there, she says, "hey, any tDime."
GUnless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
she's under G/Bno obligation to indulge every whim
And I'm so uAmngrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
And I keep forgDetting it
EmAnd each morning sheEm/D# wakes with aAm dream to deDscribe
EmSomething lovely thaEm/D#t bloomed in her Ambeautiful Dmind
I said Em"I'll trade youEm/D# one for two Amnightmares of mine
DI have some where I die, I have Dsome where we all die."
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am, D
Loud Part: Not sure on this part.
Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.
GI'm thinking of quitting drinking again
G/BI know i said that a couple times
And I'm always cAmhanging my mind, well, i guess i Dam
But theres this Gburn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
And when I G/Bkneel at the toilet
And the mornings clean light pours Amin through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn Dhypocrite
EmBut the night rollsEm/D# around and it allAm starts makingD sense
There is no Emright way orEm/D# wrong way, youAm just have tDo live
And so I Emdo what IEm/D# do and at Amleast I exist
What could Dmean more than this?
What wouldD mean more?
Mean more?
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am
Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:
x20200 It's essentially G Am.
That's sort of it.
