This is my very first guitar tab and I've been playing for about a year now. Anyway, it 
sounds right to me. The ending sounds a bit off, though. Enjoy!





"Loose Leaves" by Bright Eyes

CThe (x32010@1)story is in the soil

F (133211@1)          GLoose (320003@1)leaves cover the ground

C (x32010@1)                             F (133211@1)          GThere (320003@1)are volumes in the forest no one reads out loud

Em (022000@1)                                                   GIf (320003@1)I could take them down off of that mountain shelf...we used to climb but
no one tries to go up that far now

C (x32010@1)                               F (133211@1)          GYeah, (320003@1)we're all too busy working, entertaining ourselves

C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)        G40 (320003@1)hours, television and prescription pills

Em (022000@1)                              GWell, (320003@1)I take two a day to make my brain behave
It never does but who is to say, at least my doctor gets paid

C (x32010@1)                            F (133211@1)            GSo (320003@1)that is fine, yeah come by, we'll take the afternoon off

C (x32010@1)                           F (133211@1)            GWe (320003@1)can kiss and undress or if you want just talk

Em (022000@1)                          G'Cause (320003@1)I've got nothing real, just empty space to fill
And you are my girl, I like your style, just imagine all the time we could kill

F (133211@1)                    G (320003@1)                              EmAnd (022000@1)time is not poison but once you drink it all you'll die

Em (022000@1)                            AmSo (x02210@1)lets just sip it real slow, yeah, we can nurse it all night

CTry (x32010@1)to believe that once it's gone they will pour another round
We will come back to life
We'll come right back

C (x32010@1)                                 F (133211@1)             GIt's (320003@1)all moving fast now, yeah, and that's what they say

C (x32010@1)                                 F (133211@1)             GAnd (320003@1)though some days still take forever I can't disagree

Em (022000@1)                                             GBecause (320003@1)it seems to me that I wake up and sleep, look in the mirror and
have no idea what happened in between

C (x32010@1)                                           F (133211@1)          GBut (320003@1)I remember counting days down until the year could be done

C (x32010@1)                                          F (133211@1)           GSo (320003@1)I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn

Em (022000@1)                                            GAnd (320003@1)disappear again into a summer's bliss of staying out and sleeping in
and getting drunk with my friends

C (x32010@1)                                       F (133211@1)         GAnd (320003@1)that's gone and I know that it won't ever come back
I accept

C (x32010@1)                          F (133211@1)     GI (320003@1)won't cling to what I had in the past

Embut (022000@1)life is a slippery slope
Regret is the steepest hill

GHope (320003@1)for the best

Em (022000@1)                                  GPlan (320003@1)for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle

F (133211@1)                                  GAnd (320003@1)I'm not saying that I know what I want

Em (022000@1)                                  AmBut (x02210@1)I know what I don't, don't want to rot in my room and never know what

Ccould (x32010@1)have been, believe what everyone else tells me is true

[Rest is C, I think]
They will say 'true'
That is what they'll say
That's it
Believe what everyone else tells me is true
They will say 'true'
That is what they'll say
That's it
