Chords

I went crazy after I saw the lead singer, Sam Bentley, of The Paper Kites perform "Tenenbaum" solo and acoustically. After searching for the tab and coming up empty handed, I decided to figure it out myself. This is my first time, so give me that, but I think it sounds pretty head on. Have fun! P.S. The tuning is very strange, but who cares - this song is beautiful. E A# F# C# G# C# Introduction:

**Repeat back to beginning of single line, then second time go back up to verse. Lyrics (not sure if these are correct, best I could find online): 1st Verse: You're a bitter kind I love you so. Sour is my mind For what you sow. How I let it grow. 1st Chorus: Call them radiant, call them mother's eyes Home's a narrow space for me to find Your beguiling state and endless heights. I'm just not moving right Just not moving right when it's just not you. 2nd Verse: Under neon lights Where I wake I'm not feeling right So they say Rough kind of a day 2nd Chorus: Don my clothing, robes of ageing white Rattled windows on the old green line Do you feel it like I hope you might? I'm just not seeing right Just not seeing right when its just not you.
