Bright Eyes - The Joy In Forgetting The Joy In Accepting

i didn’t bother with the messy beginning part , but it’s not hard
to fake it or figure out an easy chord progression for it , like something
in key of D .

anyways , this tab is to focus on the piano chords
for the second part of the song .

if you’re playing this on piano , for the a chord add in the B note
right next to the root A , this will help make some of that strange
resonance of the chords he’s playing . if you want to do a melody type
riff just use the notes naturally in these chords/scale . it’s easy to figure
out the back – and – forth part ( try – ey – ey – ey ) at the end of verses .

A
so , you say there are spaces ,
E
open and wide .
A
believe me there’s days ,
E
longer than nights .
A E
and you will be happy , the minute you try . . .
D
but you don’t try .
E
no you don’t try .

and you speak of a fever ,
that burns you inside .
as you explain to your mother ,
how you wanted to die .
so she kisses your fingers ,
says “my darling but why?
D
when there is so much more . . .
E
there is so much more . . . ”

do you know there are spaces ,
open and wide .
oh believe me , there’s days ,
longer than nights .
and you will be happy ,
if only you’d try .
D
oh won’t you try ,
e~
oh won’t you try . . .

play some ugly dissonant chord here , an F#m with some wrong notes or whatever , and
leave it open without resolving

the end . beautifully sad song .
