this is a copy of the previous tab , just transposed to capo on fret 2 . this makes easier
the chord previously labeled , “f#/F . ” with capo 2 , one just has to play an Em chord ( at
the start of the ’chorus’ ) and drop his or her finger on the D string 1 fret ( to fret 1 ) .
so it goes from Em ( 022000 ) to Em/D# ( 021000 ) G
i’m staring out into that vaccum again
G/B
from the back porch of my mind
Am
the only thing thats alive
D
i’m all there is
G
and i start attacking my vodka , stab the ice with my straw
G/B
my eyes have turned red as stoplights , you seem ready to walk
Am
you know i’ll call you eventually , when i wanna talk
D
’til then you’re invisible .
Em Em/D# ( see note above ) Am
D
’cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
and in the middle of drinks , maybe the fifth or the sixth
Em Em/D# Am
i’m completely alone at a table of friends
D D
i feel nothing for them . i feel nothing , nothing
interlude :
G , D , Am , D
G , D , Am , D
Em , Em/D# , Am , D
G
well , i need a break from the city again
G/B
i think i’ll ship myself back west
Am D
i got a friend there , she says , “hey , any time . ”
G
unless that offers expired , i have been less than frequent
G/B
she’s under no obligation to indulge every whim
Am
and i’m so ungrateful , i take , she gives and forgives
D
and i keep forgetting it
Em Em/D# Am D
and each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Em Em/D# Am D
something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
Em Em/D# Am
i said “i’ll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
D D
i have some where i die , i have some where we all die . ”
interlude :
G , D , Am , D
G , D , Am , D
Em , Em/D# , Am , D
loud part : not sure on this part .
goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part .
G
i’m thinking of quitting drinking again
G/B
i know i said that a couple times
Am D
and i’m always changing my mind , well , i guess i Am
G
but theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
G/B
and when i kneel at the toilet
Am
and the mornings clean light pours in through the window
sometimes i pray i don’t die
D
i’m a goddamn hypocrite
Em Em/D# Am D
but the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
there is no right way or wrong way , you just have to live
Em Em/D# Am
and so i do what i do and at least i exist
D
what could mean more than this?
D
what would mean more?
mean more?
interlude :
G , D , Am , D
G , D , Am , D
Em , Em/D# , Am
ending finger picking , play around on this chord :
x20200 it’s essentially G Am .
that’s sort of it .
