[Intro]
e|--------| B|-5\3-1--| (this little riff repeats a few times into the verse as well; G|--------| Ethan plays this an octave higher live) D|--------| A|--------| E|--------|
C Csus2 Csus2
C Csus2 C6 C (basically you play the second Csus2 (2 strums) and C6 C (1 strum each) after palm muting Csus2 a bit;
C swtiches to Csus2 on count 4 (or right before it); it's a bit hard to discern but I believe so)
[Verse 1]
C Csus2 Csus2 Signs point in every direction, C Csus2 C6 C Advertising a one-night heaven C Csus2 Csus2 Got no clue what's driving us, C Csus2 C6 C Blind as hell and burning up with your love
F Am Dm F
[Verse 2]
C Csus2 Csus2 C Csus2 C6 C Practice my practical math and hide in the van while I'm counting the cashbox C Csus2 Csus2 Beads of sweat falling one by one C Csus2 C6 C At the Valero station in the California sun
F Am Dm F
[Verse 3]
C Csus2 Denver to Salt Lake, nine-hour drive C Csus2 C6 C With a breakdown in Rawlins, stuck at the diner, Am Keep one eye on the time zone changes G Bb Two weeks to go, and it feels like ages [Bridge] F e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------3-3-------------------------------| D|---------------------0-0-2-2-----------------------------------| (played before every line) A|---------0-0-1-1-3-3-------------------------------------------| E|-1-1-3-3-------------------------------------------------------| Dm Bb Dm Bb F We should start a band! Dm Bb Dm Bb F Lose all touch with the real world Dm Bb Dm Bb F Good luck with that, man! Dm Bb Dm Bb And that was the start of a major chatastrophe
[Verse 4]
C Csus2 Csus2 Stuck in the smallest green room C Csus2 C6 C No way out except through the main room C Csus2 Csus2 An hour to kill with the shirts on out back, C Csus2 C6 C Four dead phones and a cigarette packet
F Am F G
[Verse 5]
C Am Hear ye, discouraged workers, C F You who hurt and don't deserve it Am Time is short and life is rough G F C But you've still got the weekend to bury the pearls of your love
[Chorus]
C Am Dm If you think you're unworthy of life F C If you're tired of just playing nice Am Dm If you're looking for one light of hope F Amidst the pile of bones C Am Well, you can come with us tonight, Dm F C Maybe you can recognize it as somewhere close to home
[Interlude]
C Csus2 C6 C
(the following chords are difficult to hear outside the live version, and whether C6 or Cadd4 is used is
rather arbitrary; generally you can just switch between C, Caug, C6* and Cadd4 in any way that sounds good)
C Is it the sickness or you that's talking? Caug C6* Is it the sickness or you that's talking? C Did it leave a stain on the upholstery? Caug C6* Are you still breathing? Can you hear my heart beat? C Is my love true? Are you still afraid of me? Caug C6* Is my love true? Are you still afraid of me? C Can you make it work? Is this kind of dumb? Caug Cadd4 Does it put the ram in the ramalamadingdong? C Is the exit soon? Is there a problem, officer? Caug C6* Is the exit soon? Is there a problem, officer? C Did I hear it wrong? Am I stating the obvious? Caug Cadd4 Can you hear it now? Won't you tell me what time it is? C Is the accusation from you or the sickness? Caug C6* Is the accusation from you or the sickness? C Is it OPD? Is it just your opinion? Caug C6* Does it give hope to the starving millions? F Dm Bb Dm Bb e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------3-3-------------------------------| (x4), except second time strum F and slide D|---------------------0-0-2-2-----------------------------------| to Em on the 12th fret instead of the riff A|---------0-0-1-1-3-3-------------------------------------------| E|-1-1-3-3-------------------------------------------------------| C (G) Bb Am G F G F (x2) (this G is only played in the live version; in the studio version it's played from Verse 8 onward)
