Staring At The Ceiling

this is A B side to perfect symmetry . i can’t take credit for finding the chords
to this song , but after searching for a tab for a long time , i saw the chords on A
copy of sheet music a fan transcribed and had to share . i edited a little bit to
make it sound a little more like the actual song . let me know if there’s anything really wrong .
