Quick note about the tuning: The tuning on the studio version is C#G#C#FA#C# (Same as Simulation Swarm, The
Only Place, etc.) But it's easier to play it one half step higher, and tune the guitar to DADF#BD. This is
also what Big Thief does live, and makes for an easier tab to read imo.

When playing live Adrianne follows this general picking pattern, but there are lots of deviations, e.g. she
plays harmonics on the 12th, 7th and 5th fret quite a bit, especially in the intro, outro and after the G and
A chords. And of course there's a lot of guitar effects that further distort the sound.

[Intro]
Gmaj7 Bm Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 I am the magazine, the blue screen Gmaj7 The big hand moving past the last thing Bm I turn for you, turn for you Bm Turn for you, turn for you
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 I am the private room, the quiet croon Gmaj7 The grey eye blinking on the new moon Bm I burn for you, burn for you Bm Burn for you, burn for you
[Verse 3]
Gmaj7 Within the last kiss, I am the genesis Gmaj7 While the earth rolls, bleeding from its axis Bm Return to you, turn to you Bm Turn to you, turn to you
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7 I am the water rise, the waterfall Gmaj7 Filling up your eyes and when you give the call Bm I run for you, run for you G Run for you, run for you A Run for you, run for you Gmaj7 Run for you
Bm
[Verse 5]
Gmaj7 I am the sweaty sheets, the wet bed Gmaj7 The things she'll do and the things she said Bm I'll come for you, come for you Bm Come for you, come for you
[Verse 6]
Gmaj7 I am the right brain, the paper crane Gmaj7 The bright gold moving past the night train Bm A blurred view, blurred view Bm Blurred view, blurred view
[Verse 7]
Gmaj7 I am the new disease Gmaj7 I am the new disease, the light breeze Gmaj7 The yellow stars glowing through the white trees Bm I pine for you, pine for you Bm Shine for you, pine for you
[Verse 8]
Gmaj7 I am the teeth sharp, the lips read Gmaj7 What is unfeared and what is unfed Bm I'll feed for you, feed for you Bm Feed for you, feed for you
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 One step closer and I'm real Bm Tell me everything you feel G And I will sing for you, sing for you A Sing for you, sing for you Gmaj7 Sing for you
Bm Gmaj7 Bm
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 One step closer and I'm real Bm Tell me everything you feel Gmaj7 One step closer and I'm real Bm Tell me everything you feel G And I will sing for you, sing for you A Sing for you, sing for you Gmaj7 Sing for you
Bm Gmaj7 Bm
