Tabbed By: Mike Standard Tuning I wanted to play this song acoustically so I came up with this to kind of mix the bass and guitar together and I think it sounds pretty decent. Works best if you have another guitar to play the little lead part during the chorus. Just as a heads-up, this is how I play the chords but you can do it any other way (this just sounds best to me): A (x02220@1)C#mAbm B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1)Eb/B e|--0-------4---0---0---0------| B|--0---5---4---0---0---0------| G|--6---6---4---8---9---8------| D|--7---6---6---9---9---9------| A|--7---4---6---9---7---6------| E|--5-------4---7---0----------| A (x02220@1) C#mYou've (x13321@4)been famous since your birth AbmAnd (133111@4)a silent one it was, BTill (x2444x@1)they told me it's a girl AAnd (x02220@1)everybody gasped C#mI (x13321@4)know how to raise you right AbmTeach (133111@4)you how to read BDo (x2444x@1)math, share toys spell names and alphabet A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) Abm (133111@4) BAnd (x2444x@1)how to be polite A (x02220@1) C#mYou've (x13321@4)been famous since your birth AbmAnd (133111@4)a silent one it was, BTill (x2444x@1)they told me it's a girl AAnd (x02220@1)everybody said C#mYou (x13321@4)and your atlas know it all AbmLet (133111@4)the corners curl BCause (x2444x@1)if you go by night EYou'll (022100@1)hit the coast for sure ------------------------------------------ ...Verse goes straight into chorus on E ------------------------------------------ Chorus E (022100@1) Eb/B AbmIt's (133111@4)a ruse, it's a laugh BExperts, (x2444x@1)they'd agree BListen (x2444x@1)to the math E (022100@1) Eb/B AbmAustralopithecine (133111@4) BRekindle (x2444x@1)your heart BThese (x2444x@1)hospital machines A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) Abm (133111@4) BAre (x2444x@1)state of the art e-----7---------7---------7---------7-------| B-------9---------9---------9---------9-----| --> second guitar plays this through out the chorus G---9-----9---8-----8---9-----9---8-----8---| D-------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------| Then: e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|--11111111-11-13-13--8-88------------------| x4 D|---x-x-x-x--x--x--x--x-xx------------------| A|---9-9-9-9--9/11-11-\6-66------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| A (x02220@1) C#mI've (x13321@4)put down my middle name AbmIn (133111@4)the back of her book BAnd (x2444x@1)signed it just in case AOur (x02220@1)walk was over love C#mCause (x13321@4)I've got one more up my sleeve AbmBring (133111@4)it out tonight BCause (x2444x@1)if I am the joke EThen (022100@1)you're the punchline ------------------ -Into Chorus ------------------ Then: A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) Abm (133111@4) B (x2444x@1) x2 e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|--11111111-11/13-13-\8-88------------------| x7 D|---x-x-x-x--x--x--x--x-xx------------------| A|---9-9-9-9--9/11-11-\6-66------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| and on the last time: | End on: (on the same beat as the Bchord (x2444x@1)below) e|--------------------------------|------------| B|--------------------------------|------------| G|--16-16-16-16--16\14-14-14-1414-|-\13--------| D|---x--x--x--x---x--x--x--x--x-x-|---x--------| A|--14-14-14-14--14\12-12-12-1212-|-\11--------| E|--------------------------------|------------| End on: BBut (x2444x@1)it's the art of the state That's gonna keep me awake EI (022100@1)need a second opinion Not a second to waste
