Album: Keep It Like A Secret

Tabbed by: justin@indieguitartabs.com

The solo is played on the B string, so I only tabbed that string.
I'm not much for timing, so you'll have to get the hang of it yourself.

  Amaj7     E           B7            F#m
  I'm not knocking your want to carry that home

  Amaj7     E           B7                F#m
  Took it with you when you moved and got it broke

  Amaj7       E          B7           F#m
  Found the pieces, we counted them all alone

  Amaj7       E     B7               F#m
  Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero

B|-2/9~----9\7--7-7h9-7-5--7p5-7--\2--

  I can't be your apologist very long

  Amaj7       E              B7            F#m
  I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on

  Amaj7         E            B7                F#m
  Count your blemishes you can't they're all gone

  Amaj7     E           B7                      F#m
  I can't see your response putting them back on

                Amaj7           E
  Like they're waiting for your guard to fall

      B7             F#m
  So they can see it all

                Amaj7
  And you're so occupied with what

  E                 B7
  other persons are occupied with

  F#m
  And vice versa

      Amaj7     E                       B7
  So you've become what you thought was dumb

                    F#m
  A fraction of the sum

               Amaj7                    E
  Yeah you've become, yeah you have become,

                    B7
  A fraction of the sum

                     F#m
  the middle and the front

                Amaj7
  And now it's coming back

                  E
  hasn't come too far

        Amaj7
  I was trying to help but

                       E
  I guess I pushed too hard

             Amaj7
  And now we can't even touch it

                      E
  'fraid it'll fall apart
