Really, the only song I liked off of this album. I can understand Passion
Pit's appeal, but it's never been for me. This song is pretty great, though,
and I'm surprised there isn't already a tab for it. After playing around with
it for a while, I settled on a capo at the first fret using barre chords.
I'll also include a slightly easier version with a capo on the third.
Anyway, key of C minor for you soloists. Here's the chord shapes:
Bm ----- X24432
F#m ---- 244222
G ------ 355433 (sounds better like this, but you could use 320003)
D ------ XX0232
A ------ X02220
Em ----- 022000
I have a feeling that some of those minor chords are also sevenths, not that
it matters too much.
Thus:
(Intro)
G F#m G F#m
(Vocal Sample)
Bm F#m G D
Bm F#m G A
Well you're wrBmapped up F#min a blaGnket
and you're staGring at the fDloor;
the conversaBmtion's F#mmoderaGted
by the noGisy streets beAlow.
I nBmever wanna F#mhurt you bGaby,
I'm just a mGess with a name and a pDrice,
and now I'm dBmrunker F#mthan before tGhey,
they told me drGinking doesn't make me nAice.
YGou never know where some pF#meople will go,
yeah sEmome people been hurtin' Dme.
You can tGell by look, by the slF#mightest crook
in the nEmeck or the blink of an eAye.
Well then we'll sGee what they say and we'F#mll do what they do,
but that doEmesn't mean a goddamn thDing.
You can liGsten if you want, you can lF#misten if you don't,
yeah they'll tEmalk, yeah they'll even sAing.
Everybody now, Goh oh F#m oh Emoh F#m oh
They come siGnging through the window, sF#minging through the trees,
yeah, they're siEmnging through the bright spring lF#meaves.
Everybody now, Goh oh F#m oh Emoh F#moh
Yeah they lGove you when they need you, but someday yF#mou're gonna need to
find some oEmther kind of place to F#mgo, oh.
Now you're standing in the kitchen,
and you're pouring out my drink.
Well there's a very obvious difference,
and it's that one of us can think.
If there's a bump in the road yeah you fix it,
but for me I'll just run off the road.
But tonight you've got me cornered,
and I haven't got a place to go.
You never know where some people will go,
yeah some people been hurtin' me.
You can tell by look, by the slightest crook
in the neck or the blink of an eye.
Well then we'll see what they say and we'll do what they do,
but that doesn't mean a goddamn thing.
You can listen if you want, you can listen if you don't
yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing.
Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh
They come singing through the window, singing through the trees
yeah they're singing through the bright spring leaves.
Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh (Sing it loud, sing it loud)
Yeah they love you when they need you, but someday you're gonna need to
find some other kind of place to go, don't you know.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Alternatively

You could capo at the third fret and use the following chord shapes (original
shapes in parentheses), but I don't think it sounds as good:
Am (Bm) ---- X02210
Em (F#m) --- 022000
F (G) ------ 133211
C (D) ------ X32010
G (A) ------ 320003
Dm (Em) ---- XX0231
