The songs is pretty simple, it's just straight power chords. Just a heads
up: the chords are a mix of the first a second octave, so listen to the song
find out exactly which chords to play. Special thanks [email protected],
who's tab of this was used as a starting point. But basically, I tabbed it
myself outside of the verse riff, so any mistakes are most likely my fault.

Intro: B E F# E B x2
B E F# E B
If I had you I'd hold you like a guitar
E F# E B
I could slay you with a well-placed F sharp barre
D#
If you don't want to hear that tune I'll leave my fingers where they are
G# E G# E
And every time I see your face I want to touch it
G# E
And I know I'll never touch it
G# E C#
I get by, I get by
A# B G# F# C#
F#
And I can't tell how hard I tried
A# B G# F# C#
F#
I can't reveal what I can't hide
A# B G# F# C#
E
I said that I was fine, I lied
B A# G# F# C E
But I can stick around and see you smile from the side
(same chords for verse and chorus 2)
I say William Shakespeare had the right idea
Put your passion in a poem she won't hear
If your heart is whole again you can publish it next year
And every time I see your neck I want to kiss it
And I know I'll never kiss it
I get by, I get by
And I've been in my head too long
To know when what I think is wrong
But I can write another song
And I can stick around and see you as you sing along
F# B E C# F# D E
F# B E C# F# D E F# A# D# G#
F# B E C# F# D E E F#
I had another set of words to use instead of what I'm singing here
B E C# F# D E F#
The rhymes were intricate and every line was filled with alliteration and
A# D# G#
the best poetic tricks
F# B E C# F# D E E F#
It demonstrated just how clearly I'm the perfect guy for you to hear
B E C# F# D E F#
But in reality perfection isn't really what we want so we just
A# D# G#
throw words at the page and we
F# C# E B F#
Call it a masterpiece if any part of it sticks
F# C# E E E E E < F#, C#, low E, high E, low E, high E, low E
F# C# E E E E EF#
I've been waiting on another bright idea
(listen to the song to get the timing)
(repeat, slowly speeding up)
B C# F# E B
I've been working on a song that you won't hear
C# F# E B
I've been working on a song that you won't hear
C# F E B
I've been working on a song for you, dear
C# F# E B
And everybody tells me that I'm fine
C# F# E B
And everybody tells me not to mind
C# F# E B
And everybody says just toe the line
C# E E F# E E F# E E F E
And everybody tells me that the world was made for me to play in
(^ low E, high E, F#)
but I don't believe them
Outro: B C# E x3
B C# E B F#
