Hey guys, this is my first tab, I think it’s fairly accurate, I just had some issues
with the chords at the ends of lines, so their placement won't be accurate.
Great song by Craig, studio version is capo 1 but I’ve seen him play it open live.
Here’s a link to the song on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqU0O9Kqipw , or you
can buy it on iTunes.
Oh yeah, and the G in the verse sounds best played as a bar chord.
Have fun!

Verse 1:
D
Tell me, oh it was the chemistry,
D
That broke open the ribs of your chest,
G
And let the heart out,
G
To wander into such recklessness,
D
It's dangerous out there in the dark.
D
Meanwhile, back there in Ontario,
D
John Wilson had gone,
G
Made all the other, boyfriends, look so terrible
G
They're terrible, oh my.
Chorus:
A G
This is no dress rehersal, no soundcheck,
D
This is a show.
A
If all you wanna do is practice,
G Bm A
Then maybe, oh, you should let go,
G
Let go.
Verse 2:
D
And all the countries lined all their words up,
D
End upon end,
G
Were embaressed when they discovered
G
They had murdered the simple perfect language like,
D
Kiss me, oh and I'll kiss you too.
D
Love me, and I will love you.
G
And be gentle with me,
G
I'm scared, I'm as scared, oh, as you.

Love tried to hitchhike a ride from Thunder Bay,
G
Had greyhounded most of the ride,

And sat at the back of the bus by the cans where,

All the guys outa jail would sit and drink themselves to sleep,
G
And love held their hands,
G
And love held their hands,

The whole way home.

Through every little town,

That did not want them back.
