Congratulations - MGMT

First tab ever, so don't be hatin' unless you want to.  This is how I've been 
playing it for a while, so it's pretty close.

Verse 1:

G (320003@1) G/f#     EmEm7 (022000@1)C (x32010@1)        C/B (x2555x@1)    Am (x02210@1)Am4 AmDead (x02210@1)in the water,  it's not a paid vacation
G (320003@1) G/f#     Em (022000@1)        Em7   C (x32010@1)       C/B (x2555x@1)        Am (x02210@1)    Am4 AmThe (x02210@1)sons and daughters of city officials attend demonstrations
G (320003@1)  G/f#     Em (022000@1)    Em7       C (x32010@1)    C/B (x2555x@1)       Am (x02210@1)       Am4 Am (x02210@1)  
It's hardly a sink or swim when all is well if the ticket sells

Break:

G (320003@1)G/f#  Em (022000@1)Em7 C (x32010@1)C/B (x2555x@1)Am (x02210@1)Verse 2:
 
GG/f# (320003@1)    Em (022000@1)  Em7 C (x32010@1)       C/B (x2555x@1)     Am (x02210@1) Am4 AmOut (x02210@1)with a whimper,  it's not a blaze of glory
G (320003@1)      G/f#           Em (022000@1)      Em7    C (x32010@1)         C/B (x2555x@1)     Am (x02210@1) Am4 AmYou (x02210@1)look down from your temple as people endeavor to make it a story
G (320003@1) G/f#       Em (022000@1)   Em7        C (x32010@1)    C/B (x2555x@1)              Am (x02210@1) Am4 AmAnd (x02210@1)chisel the marble words that all is lost if it's never heard

Pre-Chorus:

G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)G7 (320001@1)Chorus:

CBut (x32010@1)I've got someone to make reports
DThat (xx0232@1)tell me how my money's spent
CTo (x32010@1)book my stays and draw my blinds
DSo (xx0232@1)I can't tell what's really there
DAnd (xx0232@1)all I need's a great big congratulations

Break x2:  G  G/f#  Em  Em7 C  C/B  Am

Continue playing the verse chords throughout verse three and four.

Verse 3:

I'll keep your dreams, you pay attention for me
As strange as it seems, I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast but I tied my boots to a broken mast

This break is slightly different:  G  G/f#  Em  Em/7  C  C/B  D  C  G

Verse 4:

The difference is clear, you throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste and salt to taste

Pre-Chorus:  G  C  G  G7

Chorus:

CBut (x32010@1)damn my luck and damn these friends 
DThat (xx0232@1)keep on combing back their smiles
CI (x32010@1)save my grace with half-assed guilt
DAnd (xx0232@1)lay down the quilt upon the lawn
DSpread (xx0232@1)my arms and soak up congratulations

Break until finish:  G  G/f#  Em  Em7  C  C/B  Am Am4 Am

I hope you have more fun playing it than I did typing it up, 
play on mental mystics
