Despite the insane drumming(Eric Slick?) at the back end of this song, I think you can
rock this one out on the acoustic if you get the strumming down, especially the double
time part.  I tried to nail the chord changes on the lyrics but this editor kinda sucks. 
Maybe my first and last guitar tab!  Feel free to contact me at padzeke@me.com.

Intro: Gmin - 4bars

Gm9 (3132xx@1)                   BI (x2444x@1)put on my clothes like a body guard
        C#m7 (x4242x@1)                   EI (022100@1)put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Gm9 (3132xx@1)                         BI (x2444x@1)don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
    C#m7 (x4242x@1)                           EAnd (022100@1)I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady

EThere's (022100@1)an elephant in my head
      BAnd (x2444x@1)I tip toe around it
         C#m7There (x4242x@1)are eggshells on the floor
          ETherefore (022100@1)I never touch the ground

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

Gm9I (3132xx@1)got my eyes on the prize
        BBut (x2444x@1)it looks just like a mystery
        C#m7 (x4242x@1)                EAnd (022100@1)it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
    Gm9 (3132xx@1)                         BI'm (x2444x@1)drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
          C#m7 (x4242x@1)                      EAnd (022100@1)the show really starts once the curtain falls

ETake (022100@1)this thorn from my side
         BFix (x2444x@1)this chip on my shoulder
         C#m7Time (x4242x@1)is racing with the clock
         EAnd (022100@1)I ain't getting any older

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

Gmin("Whoo!")

BI (x2444x@1)put on my finest thread
      B (x2444x@1)                              C#m7And (x4242x@1)I wrap up my body tight
                      C#m7With (x4242x@1)the sun in my eyes
                 BI (x2444x@1)step into the night
       C#m7 (x4242x@1)              ELike (022100@1)the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light

BI (x2444x@1)don't expect you to believe me
      C#m7 (x4242x@1)            BBut (x2444x@1)everything is al--right
          BI (x2444x@1)don't make rules for a living
      B (x2444x@1)                          C#m7I (x4242x@1)don't do tricks for a dime

C#m7
I was born on a good day,
                 BDeaf, (x2444x@1)dumb and blind.
      C#m7 (x4242x@1)         EWho (022100@1)am I to tell the truth?

I don't even know what it is.

B (x2444x@1)                         C#m7 (x4242x@1)              BI (x2444x@1)don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
  B (x2444x@1)                         C#m7 (x4242x@1)              BI (x2444x@1)don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.

(now for the fun..double time)

BI (x2444x@1)tie my boots up tight
  BAnd (x2444x@1)I head straight for bed
         C#m7There's (x4242x@1)a pistol and a crystal
C#m7
Underneath my pillow

BThere's (x2444x@1)a tender heart
           BInside (x2444x@1)that ugly armadillo
          C#m7"These (x4242x@1)are tears of joy,"
         F#maj
Cried the weeping willow

EThere's (022100@1)a spirit in the air
       F#maj
And there ain't no way around it
      BI (x2444x@1)was not prepared to lose it
       C#m7On (x4242x@1)the moment that I found it

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

EIt's (022100@1)like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

Hang onto that end chord:Bmaj
