This is a copy of the previous tab, just transposed to capo on fret 2. This makes easier
the chord previously labeled, "F#/F." With capo 2, one just has to play an Em chord (at
the start of the 'chorus') and drop his or her finger on the D string 1 fret (to fret 1).
So it goes from Em (022000) to Em/D# (021000) <--possibly wrong name of chord. But just
drop a 1 finger 1 fret and it will give you the tonal clash.
G
I'm staring out into that vaccum again
G/B
From the back porch of my mind
Am
The only thing thats alive
D
I'm all there is
G
And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
G/B
My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
Am
You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk
D
'Til then you're invisible.
Em Em/D#(see note above) Am
D
'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth
Em Em/D# Am
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
D D
I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am, D
G
Well, I need a break from the city again
G/B
I think I'll ship myself back west
Am D
I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time."
G
Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
G/B
she's under no obligation to indulge every whim
Am
And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
D
And I keep forgetting it
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bright_eyes/hit_the_switch_crd_ver_2.html ]
Em Em/D# Am D
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Em Em/D# Am D
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
Em Em/D# Am
I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
D D
I have some where I die, I have some where we all die."
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am, D
Loud Part: Not sure on this part.
Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.
G
I'm thinking of quitting drinking again
G/B
I know i said that a couple times
Am D
And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am
G
But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
G/B
And when I kneel at the toilet
Am
And the mornings clean light pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
D
I'm a goddamn hypocrite
Em Em/D# Am D
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
Em Em/D# Am
And so I do what I do and at least I exist
D
What could mean more than this?
D
What would mean more?
Mean more?
Interlude:
G, D, Am, D
G, D, Am, D
Em, Em/D#, Am
Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:
x20200 It's essentially G Am.
That's sort of it.
