As with my other tabs, this is meant to be more linear to convey a rough sense of timing. One dash equals
one eighth note. To make this work, frets above 9 are represented by letters, where A=10th fret, B=11th fret,
etc. Otherwise double-digit fret references would extend the width of the bars, breaking the appearance for
timing.
[INTRO-VERSE]
I hear you talking everywhere Words on the loudspeaker hangin' in the air
C D D
Everywhere
D D D
I remember the words you told me, too This town's full of losers
D G C D D
Tryin' to get a piece of you You really think that's true?

How long will it take til you open up your eyes?
A A G G
I've been gone for years you've never even realized

In a corner of the world on election day

You watched your star shatter and fade away Too many wasted days

With your eyes wide open, a hand on the wheel
D D G C D D
You look back hard try to 'member just how love feels How does it feel?
