{In the parts that say " Dsus9 - D7sus9  D6 - D5 ," play the riff that 

 Ive tabbed out at the end.  I.e., dont actually play a Dsus9 chord.} 

{The A5 and D5 are kind of weird; at times, they can sound like Am and D , 
 but do try to lay off the third.}

A5               G/B            Csus9              D5 
We were down at Dead Man's Hill, smoking vines like cigarettes 
A5                    G/B        Csus9                 D5 
Looking through the trashy mags, trying to feel what's coming next 
A5               G/B         Csus9                D5 
You told me of crashing cars, older brothers, and late night bars 
A5               G/B        Csus9             Csus9           D     D 
I told you what I feel most, and you kept it like a ghost forever 

  
G                 D      D                   G 
  Don't you write it down, remember this in your head 
{G}         D         D                    G 
  Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart 
{G}          D        D                  G                   
  Don't leave a message, talk to me face to face 
{G}                  
(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face

Lying on the bright blue jumping mat, dinner bell is ringing 

Barking dogs and model planes, and the sound of passing trains 

We watch for bonfires in the sky, on the beach in July 

Spin the bottle, steal the kiss, postcards to the one I miss forever 
    D5            D5     D5 
The one I miss forever 
  
Don't you write it down, remember this in your head 

Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart 

I'll leave a message when everything comes apart 

(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face 

(Everything comes apart) Ahhhhhh, I'll leave a message 
G                     Dsus9 - D7sus9   D6 - D5 
    When everything comes apart 
Dsus9 - D7sus9  D6 - D5    Dsus9 - D7sus9   D6 - D5

I remember cats on fire, gasoline, a burning spiral 
Standing underneath the night, fighting back with all my might 
Empty cans and charred remains, find them in the heat of day 
On the top of Dead Man's Hill, this is what I know of shame forever
