Chords

These are the tabs for each chord used in the whole song. For the entirety of the opening riff that also appears throughout the song, you're keeping your ring (ha) finger barred over the D, G, & B strings on the fourth fret.

Listen to how Evan plays it, you don't really play the other notes until the last couple notes in the riff, but you keep them fretted. Use your middle finger to hammer on to the 4th fret E string. This (mostly the bass line) repeats quietly through most of the verses.

[Verse 1]
G#m7        F#         B    B/E
   I draw a line in my life

 G#m7               F#           B       B/E
Singing this is the new way I behave now

 G#m7         F#          B          B/E
And actually live by the shape of that sound

G#m7          F#         B   B/E
Circle in the back of my throat

G#m7           F#             B    B/E
Spinning in my head and on my pillow

G#m7        F#               B        B/E
Telling you things you don't need to know

G#m7        F#     B            B/E
Letting you know I trust you so much
[Verse 2]
G#m7             F#                 B     B/E
Then I'm looking at you through the lights

G#m7       F#              B      B/E
  A circle blinking in the tungsten

G#m7      F#    B       C#min
Wondering how I seem to you

  G#m7         F#        B           B/E
Forgetting the words I'm singing for you

G#m7    F#                B  B/E
   Am I forgetting how it felt?
[Verse 3]
G#m7       F#                 B      B/E
  You were sleeping with your rings on (rings on)

G#m7     F#           B        B/E
Cardinal wings in the early morning

G#m7   F#      B      B/E
Waking up to a metaphor forming
[Chorus]
G#m7     F#    B    C#min   
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhh

G#m7     F#    B    B/E
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh
[Verse 4]
G#m7        F#         B  B/E
   I draw a line in my skin

G#m7           F#       B
   I'm pinning down inchoate meaning

G#m7     F#             B     B/E
Mark me right below the ampersand

G#m7      F#       B               B/E
Perforate line dry summer on my own land
[Verse 5]
G#m7         F#           B  B/E
Then it circulates around town

G#m7        F#               B     B/E
Do I double down because I'm stubborn?

    G#m7   F#          B         B/E
The needle on the phonographic sound

       G#m7       F#    B              B/E
You're digging it up as soon as it's drawn down

G#m7    F#                B    B/E
   Am I forgetting how it felt?
[Outro]
G#m7        F#         B      B/E
If you sing along do I remember?

G#m7      F#             B       B/E
Mark this feeling in the simplest shape

G#m7   F#      B           B/E
Let me finally let it fall away

G#m7   F#   B  B/E
Away
