This is an old Bright Eyes Unreleased, Search for it, good song!
F                              G                       F                               F
There's no prayer I could say, no advice I could take, no pill that would make me feel better. 

F                              G                       F                               F
There's no fountain to seek, no cup I could drink. I know of nothing that ever grew younger. 

        G            F            F                   G                 F           F
But the universe it must go on forever, just like two mirrors that are facing each other. 

        G            F              F                G                F
It's reality upon illusion over and over until you can't tell the difference,

                        F
 they both just blend together.

                G               F                         F     
And I just put each day in a box on a calendar, winter to summer. 

              G                   F                          F     
And I'll go walking in that same circle for as long as I can remember. 

              G                   F                     F     
I just keep hoping that someone would make me a better offer. 

                 Em                        G       G  F           F
Cause I know the end that we see from our balcony is barely the beginning.

F                              G                       F                               F
So I'm up on the fence and I'm still not convinced. Can't decide which side looks greener.

F                              G                       F                               F 
So I just stay where I am, remain indifferent. Let what happens, happen it's easier.

                   G                  F            F    
I'll go ahead and drown myself in the fluids of another. 

               G            F            F   
Yeah my woman to me was as pure and essential as water. 

    G            F            F   
And so she looked like me for awhile but she does no longer 

         G            F            F   
cause she took the shape of whatever it was that held her. 

                 G            F            F   
She killed the fear in my heart but our love also got murdered. 

                G            F            F   
She said my child you can no longer sing of that fever 

                          G            F            F   
cause it's selfish and you are not selfish. You must get stronger. 

                Em                        G          G  F  F
So I know when your lover leaves I guess all you can be is forgiving.
For the D C G bit I tap the guitar to the beat of the song after one strum and strum after the G for a better effect, you will know what I mean if you have heard it :) Tabbed By Dean Robert Smith
