    Lifted Or the Story Is ...

This was done based on the notes Conor is singing and the faint harmony going on in the
ground, NOT the lead guitar. So before you say this is wrong, think about it. It is
for a different fret of the capo placement. This sight is to post tabs that you came up 
that are close to the original, not to put down exactly what the artist plays. This is a
simple version of the rhythm.

capo: 3rd fret

G
Well the future's got me worried
                     C
Such awful thoughts
           Am
My head's a carousel of pictures
Am7          G
The spinning never stops
G                          C
I just want someone to walk in front
Am                      G
And I'll follow the leader


G
Like when I fell under the weight
                     C
Of a schoolboy crush
           Am
Started carrying her books
Am7          G
And doing lots of drugs
G                          C
I almost forgot who I was
Am                      G
But I came to my senses


G
Now I'm trying to be assertive
                     C
About making plans
           Am
Wanna to rise to the occasion, yeah
Am7          G
Meet all their demands
G                          C
But all I do is just lay in bed
Am                      G
And hide under the covers


Am                                D
Yeah, I know I should be brave
        G              Am7                  D
But I'm just too afraid of all this change


G
And it's too hard to focus
                     C
Through all this doubt
           Am
I keep making these to-do lists
Am7          G
But nothing gets crossed out
G                          C
Working on the record seems pointless now
Am                      G
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?


G
But I'm trying to take some comfort
                     C
In written words
           Am
Yeah, Tim, I heard your album
Am7          G
And it's better than good
G                          C
When we get off tour I think we should
Am                      G
Hang and black out together


G
Because I been feeling sentimental
                     C
For days gone by
           Am
All the summers singing, drinking, laughing
Am7          G
Wasting our time
G                          C
Remember all the songs and the way we smiled
Am                      G
In those basements made of music


Am                           D
But now I've got to crawl
        G              Am7                  D
To get anywhere at all I'm not as strong as I thought

Am D G Am7 D (4x)

G
So when I'm lost in a crowd
Am
I hope that you'll pick me out
Am7
How I long to be found
D
The grass grew high, I laid down
G
Now I wait for a hand
Am
To lift me up, help me stand
Am7
I've been laying so low
D
Don't want to lay here no more


G
Don't want to lay here no more
D
Don't want to lay here no more
Am                                    G
Don't want to lay here no more

G
Everything that happens
                     C
Is supposed to be
           Am
And it's all predetermined
Am7          G
Can't change your destiny
G                          C
Guess I'll just keep moving
Am                      G
Someday maybe I'll get to where I'm going.
