Along with "All of my friends" this is the coolest song on the album
you need two guitars, or one acoustic and you can forget the riff at the bridge and play rhythm (I think it sounds best on acoustic)
Follow up to "goodnight elizibeth" (Recovering the satellites)
Esus4: 022200
Intro/verse (the E-riff)
E Esus4 E Esus4 E
this riff until...
"You're surprised, and then you wake."
Prechorus
G#m For all the thinAgs you're losing.
You mighEt as well resigEsus4n yourselfE to try and make a change.
G#m And I'mA going down to Hollywood.
They're gBonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.
Chorus
A I Bwish I waC#ms a girl
So Bthat you Acould believe me
And BI could shakC#me this stBatic every time
I tAry to sleep
I Bwish forC#m all the world
That BI could say
"HEey, Elizabeth, yoF#u know I'm doing all right
These Adays."B;
Teh Bridge
The E riff...

And inA one of these dreams
YoEu forgive me.
It makesF#m me think of the bad decisions
That Akeep you at home.
How Ecould anAyone else have changed,
F#m But these are wrong conclusions
That Aleave you alone.
How EcouldA everyone rearrange'
How Ecould everAyone else have changed'
What I F#msee I beAlieve.
EFor all the things I'm losing
I might as well rEesign myself to Esus4try and make a Echange.
G#m And I'mA going down to Hollywood.
They're gBonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.
Chorus again
Second bridge (counting crows have so many wonderful emotional changes in their songs)
