I recommend playing this song in Eb Standard tuning, in the key of D!  These chords are 
in original key.

(F#/F is simply dropping the root of the chord one half step to serve as a step down to 
the G#7.  The same is true of the G#/C, which is easiest done by dropping the root a 
single half step.)


Intro: Bb5  F#5  C#5  Ab5 (x2)


                       Bb5      F#5            C#5        Ab5
I'm burned out with a bright light, I wasn't ready for this.
          Bb5       F#5           C#5               Ab5
You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrists.
                 Bb5        F#5       C#5      Ab5
Oh, please have faith, I can be so cavalier.
               Bb5           F#5                 C#5         Ab5
And when they start to ask questions I'll make sure to be clear.


                  F#5        F#5         Ab5
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me.
                    C#5            Ab5               Bb5
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything.
      F#5               F#5                   Ab5
You turned and all you left me with was this broken key.
                      Bb5  F#5  C#5  Ab5  Bb5  
F#5  C#5  Ab5
So tell me what you think.


                    Bb5     F#5                  C#5      Ab5
Give it up for the long nights and all those terrible fights.
          Bb5            F#5            C#5         Ab5
Were you honest with yourself, every version of yourself?
             Bb5         F#5          C#5    Ab5
Did you get lost on the side of the road?
             Bb5        F#5                  C#5        Ab5
If you keep acting this way, I swear I'll never come home.



                  F#5        F#5         Ab5
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me.
                    C#5            Ab5               Bb5
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything.
     F#5                  F#5            Ab5
We walked along on this broken road for eternity
            C#5                 Ab5              Bb5
So give me company and help me sing this lonely melody.
      F#5               F#5                    Ab5
You turned and all you left me with was this broken key.
                      Bb5  F#5  C#5  Ab5  Bb5  
F#5  C#5  Ab5
So tell me what you think.


        Bb5       F#5            C#5        Ab5
Sign me up, no regrets, make a man out of me.
        Bb5        F#5                C#5       Ab5
And I won't say a word and I'll give all the things
         Bb5         F#5           C#5            Ab5
That you want and I need just to give me some peace.
         Bb5          F#5              C#5               Ab5
At the bottom of the ocean there's a place for you and me.
         Bb5            F#5        C#5          Ab5     
    Bb5    F#5
Lead the way straight ahead, you gave me the time of my life
       C#5          Ab5           Bb5   F#5
And it cut like a knife to the bone.


(Acoustic)
                  F#5        F#5         Ab5
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me.
                    C#5            Ab5               Bb5
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything.
    F#5                       F#5                   Ab5
So neat and clean, well the world is full of such pretty things.
                    C#5   Ab5  Bb5
So do your best for me.
