Good City For Dreamers

Tabbed By Josh Mulla

Capo 1

Intro
E,  G,  C,  Bb, C#

E (022100@1)                               G (320003@1) Take back the instant, when you brushed him off your shirt
C (x32010@1) You tried to drag him to the trash
Bb (x1333x@1)                     C# (x43121@1) You tried to trade him in for cash

E (022100@1)                               G (320003@1) Take back the instant, when you blew him off your path
C (x32010@1) With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Bb (x1333x@1)               C# (x43121@1) Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go

E (022100@1)                          G (320003@1) Cold cold moment, when the first doubt shot through your head
  CA (x32010@1)black ink drip running through your veins
      Bb (x1333x@1)                 C#Start (x43121@1)___________________  bringing you sweet pain

E (022100@1)                 G (320003@1) Pregnant seconds, dripping through the hour glass
         CWhen (x32010@1)the lure of men who could be kings
         Bb (x1333x@1)                  C#Made (x43121@1)you lose the man, who was wearing your ring

E (022100@1) He didn't match your lucious thoughts tonight
G (320003@1) You couldn't look him in the eye
C (x32010@1)                                 Bb (x1333x@1)       C# (x43121@1) Awkward is the embrace, when it's not tight,
(N/C)
Not tight

E (022100@1) And so the jewel you once both had
        GIs (320003@1)left crumpled, like a collapsed lung
C (x32010@1)                           Bb (x1333x@1)                 C# (x43121@1)              
  When all you had to do, was hang out in the sun,
                E (022100@1)   G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)   Bb (x1333x@1)  C#Hang (x43121@1)out in the sun

E (022100@1)                               G (320003@1) Sir you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
             CBut (x32010@1)you were just born into the right place
Bb (x1333x@1)               C#Just (x43121@1)born into the right race

E (022100@1)                                  G (320003@1) You're climbing mount everest now, granting wishes from above
C (x32010@1) Favours are yours to give
Bb (x1333x@1)                   C#Lies (x43121@1)are yours to live

E (022100@1)                            G (320003@1) Take back the instants, that lead you to believe
         CThat (x32010@1)the earth shakes cos youre not happy
        Bb (x1333x@1)                    C#And (x43121@1)the sun rises cos youre not sleeping

E (022100@1) Youve got the loudest parade in town
GClowns (320003@1)assasins and crooks
    CYou (x32010@1)got ladies in see-through gowns
Bb (x1333x@1)             C#Reading (x43121@1)extracts from your books

E (022100@1) Beggars are trailing at the back
G (320003@1) Waving from the cardboard float
C (x32010@1) Youre thinking that up close
Bb (x1333x@1)              C#Statistics (x43121@1)can be such a drag

E (022100@1)                     G (320003@1) Your cup is full now, blood is the colour of this wine
        CAnd (x32010@1)its dripping from the ceiling
        BbAnd (x1333x@1)its making the chandeliers ring
        C#And (x43121@1)the instant the ballroom over flows,
Asus2 (x02200@1)                          E (022100@1)    G (320003@1)    C (x32010@1)    Bb (x1333x@1) C# (x43121@1)    Your throats turn into your gallows

This is a great song performed by a fantastic band.
Im sure all of this (with the exception of the A sustained 2) is correct!
