Someone requested that I tab this song into an acoustic version so I gave it a
shot. I don't know that The Get Up Kids have ever actually played this song
acoustically but these chords can also be used for the rhythm to the electric
version.
Beneath the chords I included a tab of how to play this acoustically with my
version of the lead/melody included in the rhythm chords.
Tuning: Standard
Chords used:
E - 022100
C#m - x46654
G#m - 466444
A - x02220
F#m - 244222
B - x24442

What became of everyone I used to know?
Abm A
Where did our respectable convictions go?
E C#m
Your words don?t match the story that your actions show
Abm A
But what do I know?
F#m Abm A
I?m sure you can?t help but remembering
C#m B A
I thought that you?d be one not to forget
C#m B A
Remembering?s not helping you yet

Say goodnight
C#m
Mean goodbye
A B C#m E
I know you think my life will stop when you?re away
A B
Maybe I can see you on
E C#m
Holidays, worlds away
A B C#m E
I?ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
A B
I?m lucky if we?re speaking on the
E
Holidays
C#m Abm A
E C#m
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Abm A
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
E C#m
Now that I am faced with opportunity
Abm A
You?re not remembering
F#m Abm A
I?m not asking you anyway
C#m B A
And even if you ever could cave in
C#m B A
I wouldn?t know where to begin
E
Say goodnight
C#m
Mean goodbye
A B C#m E
I know you think my life will stop when you?re away

This is another version I created on acoustic that is very similar to the one
above except it includes some lead/melody for those wishing for an acoustic
version that sounds more like the album.
