From Mike + Howard F.

Capo 1 (this is just one of the ways i figured out from the album , you can capo it lots 
of places and it can be different live, im guessing John's tuned down a step or 
something on the album..)
Can also just do Capo 3 and drop all the chords a full step, i play that sometimes too..

A5   F#5   D5    A5


F#5    D5                         A5                   F#5
i hung pictures of you from every lamp post in town
D5      A5                                               F#5   D5
as the humidity climbed into numbers i don't care to repeat
A5                                       F#5
the air was heavy and the sky was alive
D5                               A5                        E5
and the pacific starlight train wasn't due in till 11.45

E5                     A5
i thought about how cold you must be
E5                     A5
i thought about things i thought that i'd soon be forgetting
E5                      A5                          D5
i thought of you up in canada as the lightning storm lit up
                    A5     F#5
all downtown redding

D5          A5                                            F#5
there were teenagers in mini-trucks coming around every corner
        D5                    A5                              F#5
you can taste the adrenaline, coming out through their skin
  D5                    A5
i came to the well-lit doorway of a sheet music store
F#5     D5                  A5                                  
   E5
saw my face in the glass. sat down in the doorway and i settled in.
