Hey you guys that is my acoustic version of Nada Surf's Imaginary friends
The Tuning is a little bit different  but it sounds very accurate and end espacially on a
12-String guitar very nice!
I know there are a lot of chords, but they are actually easy to learn.
I didn't find any tabs or chords of this song so decided to figure it out on my own.
I hope the Nada Surf fans now have a chance to play this wonderful song. Enjoy it!

 D                   A      D/F#           G
Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
       D                A                     D/F#                     G
Today, don't want no one to tell me how it ends 
e7                                A*
Took breathing for granted 
                     G       G/F#                 e
and now i don't know how to breathe 
 e7                                 A*
something that you planted 
           G          G/F#         e
just won't get up and leave 
G                            A                    G
You only get to play one time 
                           D                G                   A*
Lenny Bruce 's bug eyes stare from a LP 
G                            D
Asking me just what kind 
     G                      A*
of fight i got in me 
      G                              D
I harbored some ambition 
      G                       A*
to turn it up like that
    G                     D 
I already had roadblocks so 
G             G/F#            e7
Why'd you have to cheat? 

Hey, i'm bewildered and writing myself notes 
That say if you fake happiness then no one knows 
Convince yourself 
and then you've got it made 
There'll be no black of night, 
just the turned out lights 

You only get to play one time 
Lenny Bruce 's bug eyes stare from a LP 
Asking me just what kind 
of fight i got in me 
I harbored some ambition 
to turn it up like that 
I already had roadblocks so 
Why'd you have to cheat? 

G                f#                          D/H
It's a long story I'll tell you later 
And now the sky looks like Turner 
From specifics to the dawn 
I've got so many backburners 
                   A9     A     A9     A/F#     G
that keep on. 

G                       f#                                       D/H      
You laughed out loud about someone who 
Couldn't get their shit together 
I laughed along, ha-ha 
I almost wish you knew me better 

A9    A9     A    A9  A/F# G                   2x
Oh    Ah    ha   ha    ha    ha
A9     A9    A    A9  A/F#
Oh    Ah    ha   ha    ha    

D                   A       D/F#          G                6x
Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
