Intro:
C5 - C5 - A5 - C5
C5 C5 A5 C5
Ashes to ashes, some dust on the dash
C5 C5 A5 C5
I got my cigarettes
F5 A5 D5 A5
But I can't find the fire, it's calming me down
C5 C5 A5 C5
C5 C5 A5 C5
I was just out on a night with my friends
C5 C5 A5 C5
You are still out on a night with your frienda
F5 A5 D5 A5 C5 C5 A5 C5
And you don't seem to tire when I'm not around
G5 F5 C5 C5 A5 C5
I'm under the tunnel, I'm holding my breath
C5 C5 A5 C5
C5 C5 A5 C5
I searched every pocket that hung in the closet
C5 C5 A5 C5
Until I found some matches in a brown leather jacket
F5 A5 D5 A5 C5 C5 A5 C5
One I swore I'd never worn, but it once kept you warm
G5 F5 C5 C5 A5 C5
Do you remember we made love on the floor?
F5 A5 D5 A5
And you still haven't called
F5 A5 D5 A5
So I wait until they're closing the bars
C5 C5 A5 C5
G5 F5 C5 (Let this one ring)
I made a wish but the match never lit
(That's the end of "Matches", then starts "I'm Actual")
----------------------------------------
C5
Can we take the next hour
C5
and talk about me
C5 A5
Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
A5 G5 C5
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me
C5
Can we please take this hour
C5
and talk about me
C5 A5
and my hatred for corporate magazines
A5 G5
you know they don't speak to me
F5 G5 G5 A5 C5 C5
The irony is they won't speak with me
C5
(I'm Actual, I'm Actual...)
VERSE 2
F5 G5 A5 G5
I placed you on a windowsill
F5 G5 A5 G5
Cut notches up and down the door
F5 G5 A5 G5
My surprise, I woke up one morn
F5 G5 C5
In our bed, In your place lay a note; It read:
(The next part uses simple bar chord shapes, like so.)
--- - A--- - Ab-- - G---- - F#5 - G-------
D | --7------6-----5------4---------------------------- |
A | --7------7-----5------5---------------------------- |
E | --5------4-----3------2---------------------------- |
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5
Baby your love it just ain't good enough
F5 G5 C5
I found sunlight six hours away
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5 (let ring)
You watered me down 'til I drifted abound
F5 G5 C5
Somewhere far from your shade
F5 G5 A5 G5
Now I shadow my former self
F5 G5 A5 G5
Once holy, now lonely; a chest full of
F5 G5 A5 G5
holes; Red wax, it paints me unclear
F5 G5
when the big hand strikes twelve
C5 (let ring)
I disappear
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5
and the angels are fake and they'll lie to your face
F5 G5 C5
Anything to keep you away
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5
You watered me down 'til I drifted abound
G5 G5 G5 G5
SOLO SECTION
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5
F5 G5 C5
A5 Ab5 G5 F#5
G5
It's time I accept the fact
That you on your back has buried the past
C5
Can we take the next hour
C5
and talk about me
C5 A5
Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
A5 G5 C5
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me
C5
Can we please take this hour
C5
and talk about me
C5 A5
and my hatred for corporate magazines
A5 G5
you know they don't speak to me
F5 G5 G5 A5 C5 C5 (let the last chord ring!)
The irony is they won't speak with me

CAPO 4
INTRO & VERSE 1
C5 C5 A5 C5
C5 C5 A5 C5
C5 C5 A5 C5
All the girls pose for the same for pictures
C5 C5 A5 C5
All the boys got the same girls' hair
C5 C5 A5 C5
And I am bored because I feel much older
C5 C5 A5 C5 C5
Look at me as if I got a reason to stare
PRECHORUS
C5 G5 D5
But you talk so loud
C5 G5 D5
That it calms me down, you're crying
C5 C5 D5 D5
Let's make a toast
CHORUS
G5
She says she's leaving on a Sunday
A5
Oh, that leaves me one more night
C5 G5
Can I take you home?
A5 D5
I know it's wrong, but I know your type
G5
She says she's leaving on a Sunday
A5
I don't care, I need to know where to turn

It never caught on, I was the only one who got burned

C5 C5 A5 C5
VERSE 2
C5 C5 A5 C5
I've read every word you've said
C5 C5 A5 C5
From a poster of a cat
C5 C5 A5 C5
Four books look across your sofa
C5 C5 Hold A5
I thought your coffee table was more clever than that
C5 C5 A5 C5
It gets worse once we get to her room
C5 C5 A5 C5
She stops and she sings, "Do do do do do do do do"
C5 C5 A5 C5
I claim "New Religion" is my song
C5 C5 A5 C5 C5
She doesn't get it, it's all before she was born
PRECHORUS 2
C5 G5 D5
And you lock your door
C5 G5 D5
Like I've been here before I feel like
C5 C5 D5 D5
I've seen a ghost

Suddenly between sheets and eyelids

I never want her to forget me

A5 D5
Will you call, will you write?

Song: Pick Me Up(Track 5)
Originally Tabbed by: Don Tago (recebedou@yahoo.com )
Edited and reformatted by: Brandon Karcic
Almost exactly the same as the previous tab, but I added the ambient chords over
the intro and included the backing vocal lyrics on the third and fifth choruses.
INTRO
D5 G5
And you, you're gonna walk backwards through the room
D5
Does that mean I won't see you?
G5
It means you'll walk backwards through the room
VERSE 1
B5 G5 D5
Tiffany's crying, she's dying to make it out of this hell
E5 A5
Well I just laughed ?cause it was my job to be her help
B5 G5 D5
I'm in my bedroom , I found me a corner where friends won't debate my health
E5 A5
Like "How can he save some summer night when he can?t save himself?"
CHORUS 1
D5
You gotta pick me up, come on and pick me
G5 G5
When I'm falling down you've got to pick me up
VERSE 2
B5 G5 D5
Cut to December and how can a scalpel tear him to skin
E5 A5
Reveal the walks in the park, Lord, how can a heart come from two separate organs?
B5 G5 D5
Are you gonna make this simple? Do you wanna make me sweet?
E5 D5 A5
Oh, well I know I know I know I know I let you down, I let you down
CHORUS 2 & 3
D5
You gotta pick me up, come on and pick me
G5 G5
When I'm falling down you've got to pick me up

Prescriptions scripting a timeline
Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes

First love, heartbreak and true love
G5
Mistakes, heartbreak and true love

VERSE 3
D5 G5
You, You're gonna walk backwards through the room

Song: Dog Problems (Track 6)
Tabbed By: An unregistered UG user who did a fantastic job
Edited and Reformatted By: Brandon Karcic
Almost entirely the same as the previous chords, save for the very beginning and a
couple G7s that can really just be played as Gs.
PART ONE - THE BEGINNING
C5 C5 C5
Don't you dare speak for someone you don't know.
They'll feel it in the back of their throat.
A5
We know I can't construct a poem ,
Cause words like girls get bored and run
F5
C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"
G5
I've got nothing, you should see me,
G5 G5
I smoke myself to sleep.
C5
And blame postmodern things I can't relate, like summer camp and coastal states.
A5
Like alcohol and coffee beans; Dance floors and magazines.
F5
I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame
G5
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down, taking pictures of themselves.
INTERLUDE - HORNS GALORE
C5 A5 F5 G5
PART 2 - FINDING FLAWS IN EVERYONE
C5
And so I walk the web in search of love, but always seem to end up stuck.
A5
I'm finding flaws in everyone, I've reached the point where all I want
F5
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up.
G5
We are parallel lines, we?re running in circles, We're never meant to cross.
C5
I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine, my pussycat, my trampoline.
A5
Now alls I get are wincing cheeks and dog problems, I signed a lease.
F5
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and Park.
G5
Instead I broke a girl?s heart, and flew back to Phoenix
G5
To finish the year as it started.
PART 3 - THE PART WHERE NATE RUESS BREAKS YOUR HEART, OR 'WAS IT WORTH IT WHEN YOU
SLEPT WITH HIM?'
C5 A5 F5
Can you hear me? Are you listening? This is the sound of my heart breaking.
C5 A5 F5
And I hope it's entertaining, Cause for me it?s a bitch
C5
Was it worth it when you slept with him?
A5 F5
Did you get it all out of your system?
C5 D5
I am a man, Holding it all,
E5 F5
I couldn?t breath, Coming across
G5 A5 G5 G5
I didn?t know I couldn?t give up
PART 4 - IS HE SPELLING 'BECAUSE,' OR 'BECCA'?
C5
B is for believing you'd always be here for me.
A5
E is for everything, even when we see it though.
F5
C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me
G5 G5
To A because, because, you always run away.
C5
I never finish phrases, I misspell, Open arms are prison cells.
A5
When I said, "I hate what I've become," I lied, I hated who I was.
F5
So when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat,
G5 G5 G5 C5
Then don't you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don't know.
C5

INTRO & VERSE 1
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
Oh, You've got
A5 E5 D5 E5
Flaws that you wont admit
A5 E5 D5 E5
Yet you tell me its a sin that I don't believe in
A5 E5 D5 E5
God; You traded in your cross
A5 E5 D5 E5
For a chance to dance with stars and now nothing is sacred
PRECHORUS 1
A5 E5 D5 E5
Oooooooo, I've given thought to leaving
A5 E5 D5 E5
Oooooooo, F5 - F5 - F-for some
A5 E5 D5 E5
Time (Ooo) If only I could read a
D5 E5
Map; My moat is New Mexico so it's you I wrote
CHORUS 1
A5
I started sending you a note
E5
On how I hope that you're happy
D5
I hear you're somewhere in the sand
E5
And how I wish I was an ocean
D5
Maybe then (maybe then) I'd get to see you again
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
VERSE 2
A5 E5
Now all my friends
D5 E5
They break and they bend
A5 E5
They take shape and they tend
D5 E5
To get better with time, And I say:
A5 E5 D5 E5
"Who am I to work so much less to get more?
A5 E5
You all deserve what I am walking towards
D5 E5
If you want, you should move away,"
PRECHORUS 2
A5 E5 D5 E5
Ooooo, This has become a weakness
A5 E5 D5 E5
Ooooo, The golden state wins
A5 E5 D5 E5
again (Ooooo) Perhaps it's time I settle down
D5 E5
Say its blue, at least that's a plus, Plus, I miss you so much
CHORUS 2
A5
I started sending you a note
E5
On how I hope that you're happy
D5
I hear you're somewhere in the sand
E5
And how I wish I was an ocean
A5
Oh noooo
E5
On how I hope that you're happy
D5
I hear you're somewhere in the sand
E5
And how I wish I was an ocean
D5
Maybe then (maybe then) I'd get to see you
A5
again
BRIDGE
A5 Throughout
Why am I scared of people in a room?
Why can't they see a good time are the people close to you?
Why don't I just give in, have a drink and shake some hands?
Oh ay oh, Oh ay oh
Why am I scarred from what she did to me?
Why can't I trust anyone, no, not even me?
why don't I just give in, have a drink and shake some hands?
Oh ay oh, Oh ay oh
PRECHORUS 3
A5 E5 D5 E5
Oooooooo, I've given thought to leaving
A5 E5 D5 E5
Oooooooo, F5 - F5 - F-for some
A5 E5 D5 E5
Time (Ooo) Maybe it's time I put a
D5
Profile up of who I want to be
E5
Fool everyone, just to start over clean
D5
I can hide behind a big blue screen
E5
Or you can return to me (Return to me...)
CHORUS 3
A5
Oooooh
E5
How I hope that you're happy
D5
I hear you're somewhere in the sand
E5
And how I wish I was an ocean
A5
Oh noooo
E5
Now I hope that you're happy
D5
I hear you're somewhere in the sand
E5
And how I wish I was an ocean
D5
Maybe then (maybe then) I'd get to see you
A5 E5 D5
again
E5 A5 E5 D5
I'd get to see you again
E5 A5 E5 D5
I'd get to see you again
E5 A5 E5 D5 E5
I'd get to see you again

Song: Dead End (Track 8)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic
VERSE 1
C5
Hold on, there's a hole in my heart
D5
Everyone can see right through me
( E5 ) F5
It goes all the way to the waves
G5 F5 G5
Where my love she tried to wash it away
C5
See we break for the summers so she can find lovers
D5
She thinks that they're bottles of wine
( E5 ) F5
They make you dinner and they sing you to sleep
G5 F5 G5
But by the morning find the bottle is empty
A5
'Cause she never gives it the time
D5
Every bottle she finds, they don't compare
( E5 ) F5
To the ones she left behind; There is never a note
G5 F5 G5
So she waits for me to come back home
CHORUS 1
C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
You wish that smoke could change its color
F5
I love it when you talk so much
G5 F5
And act like nothing went wrong
G5 C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
We sit and find flaws in everyone
F5
I want to keep you by my side
G5
Holding off tidal waves
VERSE 2
C5
"Mint Car" is keeping us warm
D5
She lays crossed upon the bed
( E5 ) F5
We are puzzles making shapes with our hands
G5 F5 G5
I take my finger, turn it into a pen
A5
Then I run my hand down your spine
D5
You guess to write something profound, Something like:
( E5 )
"Our love will last 'til we die"
F5
I say "you're good at this game"
G5
but what I really wrote is
F5 G5
How I've yet to be saved
CHORUS 2
C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
You wish that smoke could change its color
F5
I love it when you talk so much
G5 F5
And act like nothing went wrong
G5 C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
We sit and find flaws in everyone
F5
I want to keep you by my side
G5
Holding off tidal waves
G5
REFRAIN
A5 E5
I'm searching for a dead end song
A5 E5
You wish that smoke could change its color
D5 G5
I wanna get you right by my side
A5 E5
I'm searching for a dead end song
A5 E5
We sit and find flaws in everyone
D5 G5
I want to keep you right by my side
CHORUS 3
C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
You wish that smoke could change its color
F5
I love it when you talk so much
G5 F5
And act like nothing went wrong
G5 C5
I'm looking for a dead end song
D5
We sit and find flaws in everyone
F5
I want to keep you by my side
G5
Holding off tidal waves

VERSE
Nico, come back home
Show me that you care
And loves just not a flare on my sleeve
Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes,
Set the perfect stage.
'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date
Life is not a play, it's what we
Make of the people we love.
CHORUS
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?
VERSE
She bites at blades and leaves
God damn you shrubbery
Well I?m sick of vanity plates
Should we move to the UK?
'Cause life here in the states has escaped
PRE
All the people in love
What we make of these people we love
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby, maybe I spoke to soon
I?ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
VERSE
I watch her as she runs
My mother jumps the gun
She puts her in her arms
That is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old
I wanna pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax
My family?s not rich by any means
But I feel we won the lottery, that day
The rock swallowed the girl
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes
My tears turned into butterflies
They fly away as caskets close
A new day comes you?ll wake unfold
Smile when you feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight
CHORUS
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby, maybe I spoke to soon
I?ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch

I say you're born rich - stay rich
E5

Step one: find a partner, grab a pen
A5
And don't you dare ask questions,

Step two: throw your partner behind a desk
A5
Will then do absolutely nothing

So it's your job to dance and smile the whole time

Song: Inches and Falling (Track 11)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic
Based on the tab by Sephythrox (Sephythrox@aol.com ). I added a couple Dm's and
changed the 'well well well' chords.
A5 E5
I love Love
D5 A5 D5
I love being in love
A5 E5
I don't care what it does to me
A5
Take these tattered boxes
that used to hold your clothes
Break them down
E5
Build them back up with your bones
All you did was construct a mess
You're good to me when only flesh
A5 A5
You're a memory with nothing to show
A5
When we would take trips
We swore we'd never take pictures
E5
Pictures only prove you can't convince
Now I wish those photographs
could convince you that what we had
A5
would only turn out a negative
A5 B5 C#5
Well well well
D5 D5
If fingertips are relationships
D5 A5
Then I could barely carry your weight
B5
If fingers are mistakes
D5 A5
Don't use this one to point the blame
E5
Just sing, sing
A5 E5
I love love
D5 A5 D5
I love being in love
A5 E5
I don't care what it does to me
A5 E5
These pills are fine to pass the time
D5 A5
'Til I find my new drug
Then
D5 A5
We'll take our chances
D5 A5
we'll last a month
D5 A5
we'll never speak again
( E5 ) A5
How i love being in love
(Interlude, A5 , E5 , A5 )
A5
And don't pick up the line
You're dressed to have a good time
E5
You don't need him , you need to be seen
So someone else can treat you wrong
So you my love can sing this song
A5 E5
I love love
D5 A5 D5
I love being in love
A5 E5
I don't care what it does to me
A5 E5
These pills are fine to pass the time
D5 A5
'Til I find my new drug, then
D5 A5
They'll take advantage
D5 A5
I'll claim that's what i want
D5 A5
To be the new statistic
D5 D5
How I love
D5 D5
How I love
D5 D5 A5
How I love being in love
A5
Take these tattered boxes
That used to hold your clothes
Break them down
E5
Build them back up with your bones
All you did was construct a mess
you're dead to me if love is death
A5
You're a memory with nothing to show
A5 B5 C#5
Well well well
D5 D5
If fingertips are relationships
D5 A5
Then maybe I could use a break
B5
She smiles, She points at me
D5
shes says:
A5
Baby i love how you sing
E5
So just sing
A5 E5
I love love
D5 A5 D5
I love being in love
A5 E5
I don't care what it does to me
B5 F#5
I love love
E5 B5 E5
I love being in love
B5 F#5
I don't care what it does to me
A5 E5
These pills are fine to pass the time
D5 A5
'Til I find my new drug
Then
D5 A5
We'll take our chances
D5 A5
we'll rise above
D5 A5
we'll last until the end
D5 D5
How I love
D5 D5
How I love
D5 D5 A5
How I love being in love

Song: If Work Permits (Track 12)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic
Last song on the album. My personal favorite.
INTRO / THE VERSE WHERE SHE CHEATED ON HIM
E5
E5
So the wind that blows across your room ,
A5
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser,
E5
It rained for jewelery and for credit cards,
A5 E5
Two tickets to a film I don't remember,
A5
One day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
E5
To find I've been turned over,
A5
You grab that piece of gold,
E5
Only to find that the smell has taken over,
A5
And all the things you had,
B5
They aren't the same
E5
As what you hold
E5
Now I'm standin' in a room ,
A5
That's filled with older folks,
E5
They're pleading baby listen,
E5
And I scream as loud as anyone,
A5
But when asked to make a point,
E5
I tend to whisper
A5
Now highways turn to tidal waves,
E5
And they're asking me to export all of your insecurities,
A5
But that wind that blows across your room , it's gonna set the sails,
E5 B5
And send me back to you, ooh,
CHORUS - THE MELLOW ONE
E5
Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
A5
Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
E5
And I think, I could make better use,
A5
Of my time on land,
E5
I'll drink less,
Cause Lord knows I could use a,
A5
Warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye
F#5
I'm writing the folks back home to tell them ,
A5
Hey I'm doing all right
THE BAMF BREAKDOWN / THE KING OF CARROT FLOWERS PT. 3
E5 A5
E5 A5 B5
E5 A5
E5 A5 B5
THE VERSE WHERE HE RECOUNTS A DARK CHILDHOOD MEMORY
E5 A5
It's a shame what your father did,
E5 A5 B5
To your brothers head, he smashed it with the
E5 A5 E5 A5 B5
Telephone
E5 A5
Your mother got scared and locked the door,
E5 A5 B5 E5 A5
You were only four, but Lord, you remember it,
C#5 B5 A5
So now you're scared of love
E5
I'm here to tell you love's not some fucking blood on the receiver
A5
Love is speaking in code
E5
It's an inside joke, love is coming home
CHORUS - THE NOT MELLOW ONE
E5
Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
A5
Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
E5
And I think, I could make better use,
A5
Of my time on land,
E5
I'll drink less,
Cause Lord knows I could use a,
A5
Warm kiss, Instead of a cold goodbye
F#5
I'm writing the folks back home to tell them ,
A5
Hey I
THE VERSE WHERE HE'S OVER HER
E5
Yeah I'm doing alright
A5
Yeah I'm doin' just fine
F#5 A5
And if she seems as lonely as me, Let her sink
E5
Yeah I'm doin' alright,
A5
Yeah I'm doin' just fine,
F#5
And if she seems as lonely as me, let her,
A5
Sink, you let her, sink, well let her!
THE SECOND BAMF BREAKDOWN / THE KING OF CARROT FLOWERS PT. 3 AGAIN / OUTRO
