Tabbed by Gemini.

Hi there! This is the first time that I'm tabbing, so bear with me.
I am also a musician and maybe someday you'll be tabbing my
songs…. (hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone!). Well, here goes:

Tuning: standard (E A D G B E)

There are parts for two guitars here, but it sounds ok if you play only Guitar
1's (G1) part too, which is what I do. Or if you can find
a friend then they can play Guitar 2 (G2), a lead.

Weird chords:

Em D Am C

I light your cigarette, I bring you apples from the vine

Em D Am C

How quickly you forget, I run the bath and pour the wine

Em F#/A C

I bring you everything that floats into your mind

G D Am C

Now you don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 3)

Em

When you come round

Em D Am C

You are a raging sea, I pull myself out everyday

Em D Am C

I plea insanity, ‘cause I can't leave and I can't stay

Em F#/A C

You say won’t you come find me and yes is what I’ll say

G D Am C

You don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 2)

Em D Am C

And everything is crashing to the ground

G D

Maybe I'm not the perfect kind

Am C

Maybe I’m not what you had in mind

G Am C

And maybe we’re just killing time

(high e, the thinnest string)

Em D Am C

You with your silky words, and your eyes of green and blue

Em D Am C

You with your steel beliefs that don’t match anything you do

Em F#/A C

You were so much easier before you became you.

G D Am C

You don’t bring me anything but down. (repeat x 2)

G D Am C

And everything just crashes to the ground.

G D Am C

When you come around.

G Am C

When you come around ..

G D

Well no more playing seek and hide,

Am C

No more long and wasted nights,

G D Am C

Can't you make it easy on yourself.

G D

Well I know you wish you were strong,

Am C

You wish you were never wrong,

G D Am (end by strumming once down on the Am cord.)

Well I got some wishes of my own.
