Embellishments:
In the break on the second barre of Asus, he slides up to 4th fret on the g string then
back down to regular Asus
In the 3rd verse (for "teach, not be taught" and "buy, not be bought") he hammers on the
D string at the second fret for the second barre of the Gadd9
[INTRO]
Em / Em / Gadd9 / Gadd9 (hammer on the D string 2nd fret)

[VERSE 1]
Em Gadd9
If only you'd had known me before the accident
Em Gadd9
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence
Em Gadd9
Receptors overloaded, they burst and disconnect
Em Gadd9
'Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left
[BREAK]
Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7
[VERSE 2]
Em Gadd9
Oh I need not be flattered that you've never been here before
Em Gadd9
So there's no need to mention that you've no firsts anymore
Em Gadd9
But if you let me be your skyline, I'll let you be the wave
Em Gadd9
That reduces me to rubble that looked safe from far away
[CHORUS]
C/G
I don't know why I don't know why
Em
I return to the scenes of these crimes
C/G
Where the hedgerows slowly wind
Em
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive
C/G
I don't know why I don't know why
Em
I don't know what I expect to find
C/G
Where all the news is second hand
Am
And everything just goes on as planned
[BREAK]
Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7
[VERSE 3]
Em Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
You wanna teach but not be taught
Em Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
And I wanna sell but not be bought
Em Gadd9
So let us not be lonesome, let us not be lonesome
Em Gadd9
Lost in between our needs and wants
[CHORUS]
C/G
I don't know why I don't know why
