Tabbed by: djweeks13
One of my favorite Blind Pilot songs and I haven't found an accurate, complete tab, so here goes.

The | signifies the end of every two-bar phrase
C 032010
E* 032100 (E with the flat 6)

C E* F G C
Verse
C E*
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
Fmaj7
The way in some jet-lagged bar they're pouring the wine
C G
From over their heads then sit back down again
C E*
Four times is once too much for luck
Fmaj7
And that's how many times the clock struck
C G
I wandered home, saying your name

Bb7 C
Verse
C E*
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
Fmaj7
The catedrals to make you feel small
C G
You might find your small soul
C E*
Leave the preaching to the president
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
Fmaj7
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
C G
So don't feed me more
Chorus
E Fmaj7 C G
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
E Fmaj7 C G
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
Bb7 C G
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
Bb7 C
I didn't know, I'm not invincible

C E* F G C
Verse
C E*
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
Fmaj7 C G
But if you wanted to test that out, well, yeah, I guess you couldn't have said
C E*
But there were nights in bars that I recall
Fmaj7
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
C G
You leaned in and said
Chorus
E Fmaj7 C G
"Make music with the chatter in here,
E Fmaj7 C G
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
Bb7 C G
I didn't know, I didn't know the weight of my tongue
Bb7 C
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

C F Bb7 C
Verse
C E*
The lights here are softer than you'd think
Fmaj7
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
C G
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
C E*
But if my eyes were on my back
Fmaj7
I know what I'd be looking at
C G
Through every shade of brown and green
Outro
Bb7 C G
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new
Bb7 C
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
