for acoustic guitar 

tuned 2 half steps down

sounds the best when you fingerpick it, but you can also play it like on the studio
version. figure out the best picking for yourself. sounds great on a western acoustic.

have fun with it.

verse 1:

Fmaj7 C Am Em Em7   (the last two are played fast)

Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and
Weightless affairs that weigh less than air weighs
makes no stairways just stairs that go nowhere
Don't dream, that it's a dream it is what it seems.
That it's a dream it is what it seems.


Fmaj7 C G (in the end of a verse)

verse 2:


Fmaj7 C Am Em Em7   (the last two are played fast)

Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
That it's a dream it is what it seems
That it's a dream it is what it seems

Fmaj7 C G 



Bridge:

C C/B Am Fmaj7 (slow part)
Em7 Fmaj7

Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated



verse 3-5:

Fmaj7 C Am Em Em7   (the last two are played fast)

Water skiing, the water's soft the water's hard
You act nice, a black birthday card I threw it away
Grown-up life, is like eating speed or flying a plane
It' too bright, it's too bright

Outside just killing time and making noise
And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes
Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,

Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
That it's a dream it is what it seems
That it's a dream it is what it seems

Fmaj7 C G 



End:

C C/B Am Fmaj7  (slow part)
Em7 Fmaj7


White and Black hats hide behind each other's backs, all the time.
Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated 

2x:

C C/B Am Fmaj7  (slow part)
Em7 Fmaj7

Ah Ah Ahhaa....

End, hope you had fun!
