Chords

This is just the chords for guitar One. (Basically I suck, so improvise, Chief.) I couldn't find any lyrics I totally agree with (see *), but these were taken from http://www.jimmyeatworldonline.com Tabbed by Jeffrey Chupp [email protected] ________________________________ Intro: Bb, D -two times Verse One:
Bb                        D
She's perfect in her own way

Bb                               D
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey.

Bb                        D
She's perfect in her own way

Bb                             D
Shining, stepping off a silver train.
Chorus One:
        G         Eb               D
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth

         G               Eb         Bb
From the medicine that I can't keep down...
(keep playing Bb, then D, then Bb again, then D again, then verse 2) Verse Two:
Bb                        D
She's amazing in her own way

Bb                        D
Always moving to a better place

Bb                        D
She's amazing in her own way

Bb                                    D
Laughing, you won't get to her better traits*
Chorus Two:
        G            Eb               D
Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth

         G               Eb         Bb
From the medicine that I can't keep down...

         G                     Eb        D
You know time heals nothing by itself

      G            Eb      Bb
I see that ever so clearly now
Bridge One: (one time) Bb, D
Bb                                         D
          She looks a little bit different now

                                    Bb              D
Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes

Bb                                    D
          Just a little bit different now

                                    Bb
Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes
Bridge Two: (four times)
(same Bb)
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center.

        D
Take it slow and make it softer.

(same D)
Easy likes it nice and steady.
Chorus Three:
        G            Eb               D
Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth

         G               Eb         Bb
From the medicine that I can't keep down...

         G                     Eb        D
You know time heals nothing by itself

      G            Eb      Bb
I see that ever so clearly now
(just stay playing a Bb awhile then keep playing it over Bridge Two's lyrics) End on Bb. ________________________________ Declare Chords: Drop D... DADGBe Bb: X133XX

Listen and decide yourself...
