Tab by Brian Ramirez

Standard tuning

This is my first tab but Im 90% sure this is correct. 
The only questionable parts are the intro, the second chord in the bridge and 
maybe a part in the chorus.

Here are the weird chords I use
Bb/F#m   C#/Bm           Ab/A
-2----------2-------------X
-2----------X-------------2
-2----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------X 
-4----------X-------------4

Intro:
D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)F#m (244222@1)G (320003@1)F#m (244222@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em F#mG (244222@1)F#m Bm-A

         D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)            Em (022000@1)          A (x02220@1)     
Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
       D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)        F#m (244222@1)                  BmAnd (x24432@1)if fools could only prosper, I'm afraid what they might say
       D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)            Em (022000@1)           A (x02220@1)     
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make

Chorus:
         F#m (244222@1)                  (Bb/F#m)
Because here it comes

You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift

          D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)                Em (022000@1)             A (x02220@1)     
A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub

And here they come,
                 Bm (x24432@1)watch them all pass us by
         D (xx0232@1)                             ATell (x02220@1)me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
     Em (022000@1)                   G (320003@1)          
Two sheets to the wind all over again
            D (xx0232@1)         ADown (x02220@1)the bloodline
            D (xx0232@1)         ADown (x02220@1)the bloodline

Bridge:
 F#m (244222@1)    (Bb/F#m)         Bm (x24432@1)    Yes, it feels scary         to be ordinary
 D (xx0232@1)                                      A (x02220@1)    In a world that don't know your name
 F#m (244222@1)          (Bb/F#m)         C#/Bm?
        It would not be weird            if I just disappeared
 D (xx0232@1)                       A (x02220@1)    Blowing my back out,       trying to hold my weight

Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
               D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)                           F#m (244222@1)                    BmNow (x24432@1)there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is

Cherry-pick my best believers and send them off with a kiss

Chorus 3:
         F#m (244222@1)          (Bb/F#m)
Because there they go

Two sheets to the wind all over again
