Setting Suns
From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"
Tabbed by thechadmiller (Twitter)

There are a couple of these already submitted, but the chords weren't 
accurate. The tab file submitted was accurate on the notes, but this is an 
easier way to play it so you don't have to go from the 5th fret to the 12th 
for one note.

Also, it sounds like the acoustic on the album is played in the capo 7
position with the Em7 being Am7, etc. To get the correct chords, click 
"transpose 5 half steps up".

70 BPM

Verse 1
Em7                           G (320003@1)                      D (xx0232@1)  When everything's said and done You're all I really have
                              A (x02220@1)                      Em7
In the midst of these setting suns the city lights at best 
                     G (320003@1)                         DAre (xx0232@1)portraits of my friends but they don't make amends 
                        Em7   G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) AFor (x02220@1)this ridiculous mess

Pre Chorus (or verse 2)
Em7                   GSo (320003@1)I will float on every word you said
         D (xx0232@1)                      AWhen (x02220@1)the waters of my ghosts they rise above my head
         Em7                           GAnd (320003@1)I'll stand up on your back in the middle of this sea
          D (xx0232@1)                     AWhen (x02220@1)collectors of my debts they come to sink their teeth

Chorus
         G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)         Em7
And it's all I can think about now
      G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)         Em7
it's all I can think about now
      G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)         Em7
it's all I can think about
GIs (320003@1)how good you are to me

Verse 3
Em7               G (320003@1)                      D (xx0232@1)  This body is a hole my flesh one shallow grave
              A (x02220@1)                    Em7
I am six feet below myself and at my best 
                   G (320003@1)                    DI (xx0232@1)still deserve to die but I'll be glorified 
                   AIn (x02220@1)this ridiculous mess
