Chords

This is a copy of the previous tab, just transposed to capo on fret 2. This makes easier the chord previously labeled, "F#/F." With capo 2, one just has to play an Em chord (at the start of the 'chorus') and drop his or her finger on the D string 1 fret (to fret 1). So it goes from Em (022000) to Em/D# (021000) <--possibly wrong name of chord. But just drop a 1 finger 1 fret and it will give you the tonal clash.

From the back porch of my mind

The only thing thats alive

And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw

I'm completely alone at a table of friends

Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent

            C/E
she's under no obligation to indulge every whim

            Dm
And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives

               G
And I keep forgetting it

Am                  Am/G#        Dm          G
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe

Am                  Am/G#            Dm        G
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind

I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine

I know i said that a couple times

           C/E
And when I kneel at the toilet

                                   Dm
And the mornings clean light pours in through the window

Sometimes I pray I don't die

              G
I'm a goddamn hypocrite

Am                 Am/G#             Dm            G
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense

            Am          Am/G#          Dm          G
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live

         Am       Am/G#      Dm
And so I do what I do and at least I exist

           G
What could mean more than this?

What would mean more?
