• Song:

    Hit The Switch

  • Artist:

    Bright Eyes

This is a copy of the previous tab, just transposed to capo on fret 2. This makes easier 
the chord previously labeled, "F#/F." With capo 2, one just has to play an Em chord (at 
the start of the 'chorus') and drop his or her finger on the D string 1 fret (to fret 1).


So it goes from Em (022000) to Em/D# (021000) <--possibly wrong name of chord. But just 
drop a 1 finger 1 fret and it will give you the tonal clash.


G5
I'm staring out into that vaccum again

G5
From the back porch of my mind

A5
The only thing thats alive

             D5
I'm all there is

G5
And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw

                    G5
My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk

              A5
You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk

                 D5
'Til then you're invisible.

E5                              E(see note above) A5      
     D5
'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense

E5                  E5              A5           D5
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth

E5            E5        A5
I'm completely alone at a table of friends

D5                               D5
I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing

G5
Well, I need a break from the city again

              G5
I think I'll ship myself back west

        A5                                 D5
I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time."



G5
Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent

            G5
she's under no obligation to indulge every whim

            A5
And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives

               D5
And I keep forgetting it



E5                  E5        A5          D5
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe

E5                  E5            A5        D5
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind

       E5             E5        A5
I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine

D5                               D5
I have some where I die, I have some where we all die."



Interlude:
G5 , D5 , A5 , D5

Loud Part: Not sure on this part.

Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.



G5
I'm thinking of quitting drinking again

G5
I know i said that a couple times

                A5                               D5
And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am

                G5
But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side

           G5
And when I kneel at the toilet

                                   A5
And the mornings clean light pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die

              D5
I'm a goddamn hypocrite


E5                 E5             A5            D5
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense

            E5          E5          A5          D5
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live

         E5       E5      A5
And so I do what I do and at least I exist

           D5
What could mean more than this?

          D5
What would mean more?
Mean more?

Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:

x20200  It's essentially G5 Am.

That's sort of it.
