Setting Suns
From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"
Tabbed by thechadmiller (Twitter)


There are a couple of these already submitted, but the chords weren't 
accurate. The tab file submitted was accurate on the notes, but this is an 
easier way to play it so you don't have to go from the 5th fret to the 12th 
for one note. 

Also, it sounds like the acoustic on the album is played in the capo 7
position with the Em7 being Am7, etc. To get the correct chords, click 
"transpose 5 half steps up".

70 BPM

Verse 1
Em7                           G                        D
   When everything's said and done You're all I really have
                              A                        Em7
In the midst of these setting suns the city lights at best 
                     G                           D
Are portraits of my friends but they don't make amends 
                        Em7   G   D   A
For this ridiculous mess


Pre Chorus (or verse 2)
Em7                   G
So I will float on every word you said
         D                        A
When the waters of my ghosts they rise above my head
         Em7                           G
And I'll stand up on your back in the middle of this sea
          D                       A
When collectors of my debts they come to sink their teeth


Chorus
         G         D           Em7
And it's all I can think about now
      G         D           Em7
it's all I can think about now
      G         D           Em7
it's all I can think about
G
Is how good you are to me


Verse 3
Em7               G                        D
   This body is a hole my flesh one shallow grave
              A                      Em7
I am six feet below myself and at my best 
                   G                      D
I still deserve to die but I’ll be glorified 
                   A
In this ridiculous mess
