These are the actual chords, but it�s a lot easier w/ a capo on 1st fret.
If playing w/ capo 1st fret, obviously just move each chord down half step
for appropriate fingerings.
C# C#/C
Bleed the pot When you're hot you're hot
Bbm F#
And when enough is enough Do the fakers drop out?
C# C#/C
Promise me You will always be
Bbm F#
Too awake to be famous Too wired to be safe
C# C#/C
But all you really wanted
*Bbm F#
Was everything Plus everything
C# G# F# C#
And the truth I only poured you Half a line
*Lead Guitar Part (starts at �Everything Plus everything��)
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------2-4-2-4-2-4-4/6------6/4-----4h6-4/2----------|
G|-3-5-3-5-3-5-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------3----|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
(Play intro part again here)
C# C#/C
Carry on It's a marathon
Bbm F#
Take me off the list I don't want to be missed
C# C#/C
Carrion Its what we all become
Bbm F#
From small minds and tall trees Away from the action
C# C#/C
But all you ever wanted
*Bbm F#
Was everything And everything
C# G# F# C#
Plus the truth I only poured you Half alive Half alive
C# G# F# C#
I only poured you half a lie
*(Lead Guitar part shown above played here as well)
(Next Malkmus plays the intro w/ subtle variations in it. I just improvise
this part.)
(Now, this weird double guitar harmony solo thing (at 2:17) is impossible to
figure out. Sorry. Please email me if you can figure it out.)
(Now for this guitar solo, there is a second guitar part harmonizing along
the way, but this is the main melody for the solo. Play it alone and it�ll
still sound nice. The end gets sort of questionable, but still sounds
close. Then the last 5 notes are a perfectly awesome ending. Listen to song
for exact timing of everything.)

Enjoy! Such a great song. I was surprised I couldn't find a tab, so I
decided to do it myself.
Peace.
