Gin Blossums (off the album "Congratulations, I'm Sorry") Tabbed by Andrew Schatzle Chords: G 320033 (you may chose to play the B on the A-string or not by muting the string; in the latter case making it a G5 chord) Dadd4/F# 200023 Em7 022033 Cadd9 x32033 D xx0232 Dsus2 xx0320 Dsus4 xx0233 Am x02210 Asus2 x02200 Asus4 x02230 C x32010 Cmaj7 x32000 C* x32013 Em 022000 Bm7 x24232 Cmaj7* x3241x Am7 x02213 [Verse]
        G        Dadd4/F#
Looking up I saw nothing

    Em7                Cadd9
But blue in the bluest sky

               G                Dadd4/F#
And now it's creeping across my eye

      Em7               Cadd9
Going down in my mind, down in my mind

    G            Dadd4/F#
I'm high and I'm hopeless,

   Em7            Cadd9
so help me to get untied

        G                 Dadd4/F#
Fast asleep now I'm going blind

        Em7              Cadd9                 (D)
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind, just fine
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D  Dsus4  D       Am Asus2 Am
              Emulate the style

  Asus4       C  Cmaj7 C  C*
A competition smile
[Verse]
        G            Dadd4/F#
Now I'm running, not looking

    Em7           Cadd9
And opening up my brain

           G               Dadd4/F#
Where it's easy to lose my name

        Em7               Cadd9
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain

    G             Dadd4/F#
I'm hoping you'll notice

     Em7                  Cadd9
That no one else helps me grow

             G               Dadd4/F#
Oh, it's not easy to let you know

         Em7            Cadd9            (D)
What I'm dying to show, dying until you know
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D    Dsus4    D        Am Asus2 Am
          Pretending all the while

  Asus4       C  Cmaj7 C  C*
A competition smile
[Bridge]
         D           Dsus4 Cadd9
Now I've thrown something far

       Em             Dadd4/F# C
And it haunts me like a        curse

           D         Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm like a stone Falling   hard

        Em      Dadd4/F# C            G Dadd4/F#
And I'm only getting    worse
[Solo] G Dadd4/F# Em G Dadd4/F# G Asus4 Em Bm7 Cmaj7* [Verse]
        G        Dadd4/F#
Looking up I saw nothing

    Em7                Cadd9
But blue in the bluest sky

             G                  Dadd4/F#
And now it's creeping across my eye

          Em7              Cadd9
And going down in my mind, down in my mind

    G            Dadd4/F#
I'm high and I'm hopeless

   Em7               Cadd9
So help me to get untied

        G                  Dadd4/F#
Fast asleep, now I'm going blind

        Em7              Cadd9                 (D)
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind, just fine
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D    Dsus4    D        Am Asus2 Am
          Pretending all the while

  Am7         C  Cmaj7 C  C*
A competition smile
[Outro]
           G   Dadd4/F#  Em7    Cadd9
I'm hiding high...

           G   Dadd4/F#  Em7    Cadd9
I'm hiding high................
