I've been listening to The Ives for awhile and I thought it's about time they get 
some recognition on Ultimate Guitar.
Listen for strum pattern as always (especially with the A/Asus2 in the second 
measure in the verses.)
First Tab, Please enjoy:)


Key: C# minor


Verse: (C#m F#m A Asus2) 2X

C#m             F#m          A
 You have this way about you, in your eyes
C#m                F#m           A   
 Those fools will hang on your words
C#m          F#m        A                                C#m  F#m   A
 So come on warm the spotlights, tonight we steal the show


Chorus:
              A                   F#m
You see the world, it died in my arms
                  C#m                     B
We tried to hold on, but everything was wrong
                   A                      F#m
God where has she gone, this circus we knew
                        C#m                 B                  A   F#m (hold)
Oh, all we've been through, has come down to this dim empty room


Verse:   (C#m F#m A Asus2) 2X

C#m            F#m            A
 You have no worries 'bout you, cuz you're right
C#m            F#m          A
 You stand on top of the world
C#m          F#m        A                              C#m  F#m  A
 So come on warm the spotlights, tonight the crowd is ours


Chorus:
             A                    F#m
You see the world, it died in my arms
                 C#m                           B
But was it so wrong, she was slipping from my hold
                A                      F#m
And leading me on, this anchor she threw
                  C#m            B                    ( A  F#m  C#m  B )-2X
Was drowning me too, that charlatan kept dragging me down


Outro:

A>-(Fade out)  (F#m)                 (C#m)                   (B)   
 It died in my arms, I tried to hold on, but something in my soul
                 (A)                      (F#m)
Said let it be done, tonight's the night to
                (C#m)                  (B)            
Our only chance to, so take me in your arm
            (A)  (F#m)              (C#m) (B) (Fade in)-< A   F#m   C#m   B
As we carry on,     yes we'll carry on
             A      F#m      C#m       B
We'll carry on,         
             A      F#m      C#m       B
We'll carry on,   
             A
We'll carry on, died in my arms..
