guitar tabs lyrics

Things to consider: When Boeckner plays just the chords, I don�t really know how
he voices them, it�s too hard to hear. The intro is actually the keyboard part
but I like it so I tabbed it anyway. The song is basically in 12/8; each little
dash/space is an 8th note, and each beat is made up of 3 dashes. It�s written to
be exactly on beat, so you don�t have to struggle as much to figure out the
timing.


Intro:

8--8--8--8�7--7--7--7---------------------------|
------------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-8--8--|
------------------------------------------------|
------------7--7--7--7--------------------------|
8--8--8--8--------------8--8--8--8--7--7--7--7--|
------------------------------------------------|

------------------------8--8--8--8--------------|
------------5--5--5--5--6--6--6--6--8--8--8--8--|
9--9--9--9-------------(5)(5)(5)(5)-5--5--5--5--|
-----------------------------------(5)(5)(5)(5)-|
8--8--8--8--3--3--3--3--------------------------|

Verse:

F Am F E

------3-----------7-----------3-----------------|
--------1-----------5-----------1---------0--3--|
-----2-----------5-----------2---------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------| \

F C Am E > x2

------3--------------7--------7-----------------| /
--------1---------8--------------5--------0--3--|
-----2---------9-----------------------1--------|
---------------------------7--------------------|
------------------------------------------------|

Then just the chords...the first time through, the accents are on the 2nd and 4th
beats but he�s still letting stuff ring some (though it sounds a little
choppy)...the second time, he slams the chord on the 2nd and 4th beats and mutes
the space in between:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
> x2
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Pre-chorus:

F Am F E

------3-----------7-----------3-----------------|
---------1-----------5-----------1--------0--3--|
---2-----------5-----------2-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|

F C Am E

------3--------------7--------5-----------------|
---------1--------8--------------3--------0--3--|
---2-----------9-----------3-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|



Chorus (the chords are based roughly on the bass line):

C G Dm Am F
LR---| LR------| LR w/ next
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------| > x8
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|


Then back to the chords, play them like the first time:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
> x5
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Outro:

LR---| LR------|
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------| > x2
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|

2nd repeat slows down at the end
