Done by ear. Lyrics are pulled off of some site (and incomplete).
I play an acoustic and like playing with the AMaj7 (x02120), but the regular A
(x02220) is fine (or power chords).
I did a rough tab of the first guitar break.
AM7 E
You finally pulled back when the world pulled your hair
AM7 E
Alone in the room with a question hangin
AM7 E F#m E
You left with your hand in the air, and it's still there
AM7 E

AM7 E
At your age life moves so fast
AM7 E
Twelve years old, skinny legs, built to come in last
AM7 E
Had a mirror that would never lie
F#m E
But ? never pays to try
AM7 E

F#m E
F#m
Everytime i saw you
G#m E
You were trying so hard to explain
F#m
Broadcast failure
G#m E
Like a plastic bowl its spinning down the drain
E F#m
But you came through, you came through
G#m F#m
When nobody expected you to
E F#m
You came through, you came through
G#m F#m
With all those narrowed eyes upon you
E F#m G#m B
You came through, you came through
AM7 E

AM7 E
F#m E
AM7 E
Now you wish you weighed a thousand pounds
AM7 E
So you could crush all those bullies and demons down
AM7 E
From your seat at the back of the bus
F#m E
You're still waving back at us
AM7 E

Everytime i saw you

You were trying so hard to explain

Broadcast failure
G#m E
Like a plastic bowl its spinning down the drain
E F#m
But you came through, you came through
G#m F#m
When nobody expected you to
E F#m
You came through, you came through
G#m F#m
With all those narrowed eyes upon you
E F#m G#m B
You came through, you came through

E F# E (Not sure about these last chords, bass notes sound like E F# E, guitar
sounds like E A G#, but it's your call)
Enjoy. Always loved this song. Post corrections/additions.
