As far as I know, this song is just by John Samson, but everyone seems to
post his songs under the Weakerthans.. so I'll just follow the trend for now
Standard tuning, no capo.
he plays E, Esus4, E, B, Badd9, B, A, Asus4, A, Asus4, A in the intro, but
for simplicity, I'll write the intro and verse as "E, B, A"
if you listen to the song, you can hear where he adds the variations, but it
would just clutter it up if I wrote it out.
E Esus4 B Badd9 A Asus4 (and for the chorus) C#m

intro
E, B, A x4
EHey, Banother numbing Alight of early morning
E another Bpile of half-read Abooks
E nice and Bsafe in my seArene surroundings
E evil Bsmiles and empty Alooks
Ewhy Bjustify why Ayou can think at all?
i guess i'm Efar Btoo Asafe
Ecry, Bfalsify this Aturmoil of emotion
and you'll Efeel Bno Apain, but
E i'm pretty sure the Bsun will rise and
C#m give me the strength to shield my eyes
from Ball the lights and all the lies of Acompromise
and Ei always try to Bunderstand
but C#mlooking back, it's hard to
Bknow that you were bought and sold
for a Abox filled full of spanish gold
he plays the intro 4 more times, but slows down throughout, and bend the accent notes.
listen to the song and it makes sense. then from this point until the '*',
just strum the chord once and let it ring. when you get to the '*',
start playing the intro/ verse riff again
E i Bsifted through some archives yesterAday
E Bmet you in a photoAgraph
E i saw your Bface and simply Ahad to look away
E i Bknow that that would make you Alaugh
*E B A
so many things i guess i should remember
but i Edon't Bknow Ahow
Eso Bmany things so Aeasy to forget
i guess i Emiss Byou Anow, but
Ei'm pretty sure the Bsun will rise and
C#m give me the strength to shield my eyes
from Ball the lights and all the lies of Acompromise
andE is this a faded Bmemory or
C#m did i see you crawling
Bout towards the open sea so Asad and free
withEout me
E oBh, wAithout me x3
i Ebid farewell to the fBaded memAory
E B A
then play around with the E and B for the end
