[Intro]
VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Everybody cares, everybody understands
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
Yes everybody cares about you
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
To a pure synthetic sympathy
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
that infuriates you totally
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout

[Refrão]
CHORUS:
G   F   C   Em   A

[Riff ]
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
G   F   C   Em   B

[Riff ]
Raining its guiding light upon everyone

[Próxima Parte]
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
After running upstairs again and again
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
From wherever they came to fix you in, but

VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
You've got a pretty vision in your head
F   C   B7   B7
B7sus4
A pencil full of poison lead
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a sickened smile illegal in every town

[Refrão] (repetir)

BRIDGE:
C G
You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Cm D7 Em
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about
CODA:
My favorite part of the song. I'll tab out the main guitar part but there's a few
layers of guitar/keyboard so just jam out and mess around with a wah pedal or whatever if you
can.
First chords are the same as verse:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Sweet guitar part at ~2:43
e|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|-------|
B|E|------------------|-|------------4------------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4-----------4------|
D|--3----------------|----4----4-----4-----4---|
A|--3------------3---|-2E|------------------|-----|
E|--1----------------|E|------------------|-------| (2x)
Then 3:08:
e|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|---------|
B|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|---------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4---------4----------|
D|--3----------------|----4--------4-------------|
A|--3------------3---|-2--------0----------------|
E|--1----------------|E|------------------|---------|
e|E|------------------|-------|
B|E|------------------|-------|
A|E|------------------|-------|
e|E|------------------|------|E|------------------|2--------------|
B|E|------------------|---3--|E|------------------|0--------------|
G|E|------------------|2-----|E|------------------|2--------------|
D|--------2------0--------|---2--------------1---2---4---5--|
A|-----2E|------------------||---3---0---1---2-----------------|
E|--0E|------------------|---|E|------------------|---------------|
Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):
B7 G Em D C B7
e|---2E|------------------|-|---0---0-0E|------------------|------------|
B|---0E|------------------|-|---0---0-0-----3-3-3E|------------------|--|
G|---2E|------------------|-|---0---0-0-----2-2-2--------------2-----|
D|---1----2--4------5----|---2---2-2-----0-0-0-----2--------1-----|
A|---2E|------------------|-|---2---2-2---------------3--0--1--2-----|

Progression and practice

Detected progression: Em → Em6 → C/E → G → D/F# → F → C → B7

The harmony or tempo is more demanding. Work on the hard changes before playing the whole song.

  • Start at 60 BPM. Speed up once you can keep time without stopping.
  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
