Here's the lyrics with the number of the chord to play above them. Now these ARE 100% accurate.
The numbers were placed above the syllable of the word where it's started in the song
to help you with the timing a little, the ones after the words were kinda just put in.
I tried to space them to show which were farther apart than the rest, but you'll have
to play along with the song a few times to get it right.
1 2
I'm always assuming the worst
3
But you're going on nonetheless
4 5 2
And there's nothing to cushion your heart-lead fall
1 2
Letters from further away
3
Keep pulling me close to home
4 5 2
And they're something to cushion my callous eyes
1
And I know that you hope for
2 3
Longer goodbyes
4
Embracing for forever
5 2 1
And falling in your eyes
2
In your eyes
3 4 5 2 1
Your eyes
6 7
Pouring over photographs
6 8
I'm living in your letters
1 6
Breathe deeply from this envelope
It smells like you and
7
I can't be
6
Without that scent
8
It's filling me
1 6
With all you mean to me
7 6 8
To me
1 2
Continually failing these trials
3
But you stand by me nonetheless
And you won't let me sink
4
Though I'm begging you
5 2 1
I'm begging you
2
Phonecalls from further away
3
And messages on my machine
But I don't ever tell you
4
This distance
5 2 1
Seems terrible
2
And there's no need to test my heart
3
With useless space
4
These roads go on forever
5 2 1
There'll always be a place
2
For you
3 4 5 2 9 6 7 6 8 7 6 9 6 7 6 8 7 6
In my heart
9
So I'll hit the pavement
6 7 6 8 7 6
It's gotta be better than waitin'
9 6
And pusing you
7 6
Far away
8 7 6
'Cause I'm scared
9 6 7
So I'll take my chances and head on
6
My way
8 7 6
Up there
9 6
Cause turning to you is like
7 6 8 7 6
Falling in love when you're ten
Then it's 9, 2 palm mute strokes and then the final stroke is 000004
String:654321
Just listen to the song for the rhythm and you're set. I couldn't find this tab anywhere
so I hope you guys like it, it's a beautiful song and fairly easy to play when you get
the hang of it.
