Don't forget to tune a half step down to play along! Based on this video:
I notated the riff Tim plays in the intro and the first two choruses as G* and C*,
since it's simply hammering on and off between variations of open G and C chords.
The first time through, I think he plays it a little different (without the lower strings),
so I'll try to work that part out in the future, but this is how it goes every other time:
G* is played
e|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--| B|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--0--3--3--3--3--3--3--| G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--0--2--0--0--2--0--2--4--2--0--| D|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--| A|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--| E|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
C* is played
e|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---| B|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--0--3--3--3--3--3--3---| G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--0--2--0--0--2--0--2--4--2--0---| D|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---| A|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---| E|-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
The rest of the chords are simple:
G - 320033
Cadd9 - x32033
Em7 - 022033
D - xx0232
A7sus4 - x02233
G/B - x2x033
G/F# - 200033
For those who sing and play, I tried to change the lyrics for each time Tim changes it.
[Intro]
G* C* (x4)
[Verse]
G Em7 It gets loneliest at night. D Down at the liquor store. Cadd9 Beneath the neon sky. Our moonlight. G Em7 Six A.M., the floor comes alive with lice. D The pan's dried up so tight. Cadd9 G G/F# With hardened beans. We're hungry. Em7 D So I lean on you sometimes. Cadd9 Just to see if you're still there. G Em7 These feet can't take the weight of one. D Much less two. Cadd9 G G/F# Em7 We hit concrete. Em7 D Cadd9 How were we born into this mess? G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9 I thought I painted you a prettier picture, baby. Em7 D Cadd9 But we were run out on a rail. G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9 Fell from the wagon to the night train.
[Chorus]
G* C* I kissed the bottle. G* C* I should've been kissing you. G* C* G* You wake up to an empty night. C* With tears for two.
[Verse]
G Em7 Cigarettes they fill the gaps. D In our empty days. Cadd9 In our broken teeth. G We're jonesing. Say mister, Em7 can you spare a dime? D Some change could make some change. Cadd9 Could buy some time. G G/F# Some freedom. Em7 D Cadd9 Or an ear to hear my story. G It's all I've got. My fiction Em7 Sure beats the hell out of my truth. D A palm upturned burnt blue. Cadd9 G G/F# Em7 Don't call it sunburn. Em7 D Cadd9 You were shaking on the job. G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9 Just one drink ahead of your last. Em7 D Cadd9 And there's a white light coming up. G A7sus4 G/B Cadd9 You close the blind hoping it'll pass
[Chorus]
G* C* I kissed the bottle. G* C* I should've been kissing you. G* C* G* You wake up to an empty night. C* With tears for two.
[Final Chorus]
G And tears for two. Cadd9 ...And I kissed the bottle. G Cadd9 I should've been kissing you. G Cadd9 We wake up to an empty night. G Cadd9 With tears for two. G And tears for two.
