Chords

TABBED BY: STEVEN HUMPHREYS A fantastic song by david bazan about his breakup with the band pedro the lion. It's personal, but evne though its SO incredibly specific to himself, it still somehow manages apply to everyone who hears it somehow. It's amazing. I haven't found a single tab for this song after searching for about half an hour I decided to just figure out the myself. A beautiful song to play at a show. NOTE: I don't know many chord names, so when I say "Fm" it means the F barre chord on 1st fret STANDARD TUNING---CAPO ON 3RD VERSE 1:
C              F                Am                Em
If you make a reference to some trouble, that you know

Fm               G                  C
Can it help you keep it under control?

E                  Am         Em
Or should I really re---consider

My reasons for going solo

Dm                  Em              G

Am      C        F
I still run the show

 F     C      G
Don't you forget it

     A      C        F
So I had to let some go

               C       G
Don't think I don't regret it

        Am  C    F                C          G
Cause I do and I don't think I'm better off alone
INTERLUDE
 F                       G

But I love to, let my, friends down
VERSE 2
F            C             Dm   Em     Am
Fewer moving parts means fewer broken Pieces

     F           C         Dm      Em         G
When every other start requires a brand new theosis

F               C                G(moved up 1 fret)
One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry:

 Am     C     Fm                     C
"Jesus dude! None of us know what to do with you"

         Dm             Em
To which I in my pride responded

           G
"I've got news for you:

G(moved up 1 fret)
None of you have to, cause"
(play chorus again)
