Chords

This is the acoustic version of Sleep it Off (a criminally underrated LJT b-side), I've designed this tab to be played with open chords wherever possible (F# and C# being the exceptions). To see how this is played do your homework and seek out the live acoustic version of this track, which I seem to remember being a free download at some point. Enjoy! [CHORUS]
F#         A                  E
i might as well just sleep it off

F#       A                E 
wishful thinking's got my wires crossed (whoa ho)

F#         A            E
when i am desperate and alone 

  D      A      B
i know i know i know how low i go
[Verse1]
E               D A D A D A
so i'll drive and disapear
and maybe if i'm luck by this time next year
E        D A D A D A
no one i know will know my name 
it's either change or go or i'll explode today
E            D A D A D A
i'll leave a note on my machine
unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
E         D A D A
i found a photograph of me 

                                          B
its been such a slow decay 

                   C#   D            E
day to day i don't even recognize my own face 

  A
i had another breakdown 

                E
and i'm floating face down
[CHORUS]
F#         A                  E
i might as well just sleep it off

F#       A                E 
wishful thinking's got my wires crossed (whoa ho)

F#         A            E
when i am desperate and alone 

  D      A      B
i know i know yeah i know how low i go
[Verse2]
E               D A D A D A
i'm going to sleep it off
this sinking feeling of always feeling lost
E               D A D A D A
hasn't been that long 
six years worth of always being wrong
E               D A D A D A
i met an old friend out on the street 
traded stories and out of date memories
E               D A D A
she has a photograph of me 

                                          B
it's been such a slow decay

                   C#   D              E
day to day did we seem much happier in those days
[Solo break]
E               D *4
[into verse end]

                B
its been a slow decay

day to day i don't even recognize my own face
[Last Chorusette]
E  D      A      B
