Tabbed by Dylan Williams


Every once in a while, I will discover that the tabs for a rather good or
popular song are so chaotic and muddled that they make the song far more
complicated than it actually is.

The chords themselves are fairly simple, the rhythm is probably what makes
this song so confusing, as it changes, like, four hundred times, making the
song seem practically through-composed. Listen to the song a few to times to
get all of the rhythm changes down.

If you want to play in the original key of F#, capo it at the sixth.

Chords used:
C5 ------ X32010
E5 ----- 022000
F5 ------ X3321X
G5 ------ 320003
A5 ----- X02210

You should know those, right?

(Intro)

C5   E5   C5   E5   C5   E5

F5   C5   F5   C5   G5

F5   C5   F5   C5   G5   C5

[The transition from F to C looks like this...]

e ------------ | 
B --1--1--1--- | 
G --2--0--0--- | 
D --3--3--2--- | 
A --3--3--3--- | 
E ------------ | 

[which sounds very nice, and is used throughout the song.]


C5            E5           F5       C5
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
         F5         C5    G5
And the days blur into one
         F5           C5
And the backs of my eyes
          F5           C5     G5
hum with things I've never done



Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts
over old dead grass
Was never much but we've made the most

[The two notes he plays on both syllables of "welcome" are F# and F (without
the capo), or the third fret, followed by the second, of the A string]

C5   /B5   A5  F5  C5      
Welcome hoooooome (you get the idea)
A5  F5  C5
hoooooome
A5  F5  C5
hoooooome
A5  F5  C5
hoooooome

Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please
let me know what piece I've lost

Heal the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out
or keep them in your mason jars

[Same as the "welcome" above, but on "I've come".]

I've come hoooome
hoooome
hoooome
hoooome

         A5           F5       C5
All my nightmares escaped my head
         A5                 F5       C5
Bar the door, please don't let them in
         A5        F5        C5
You were never supposed to leave
         A5             F5       C5
Now my head's splitting at the seams
    F5        C5      G5
And I don't know if I can

A5   C5   F5   E5

A5   C5   F5   E5

F5      C5      G5   F5     C5  G5          F5     C5    G5  A5 C5   G5
Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press in-to my skin again

F5   A5   F5   A5

F5   A5

[Ends on an unresolved Ebm (without capo), which is pretty ballsy]
