i'm posting this b/c it's a great song and this guy did an excellent tabbing. enjoy.

* Normal tuning
* The lyrics may not be right, I couldn't find them so I made
  them up from listening to the song, for example I don't think
  'And it's starting to get fun' is correct, but to me it's
  intelligable.  The only other thing it sounds like is 'Can
  you strum me a thumb' but that makes no sense


[Chords Used]

* You can use one or the other, but I've provided both because
  one might be easier to play at some point due to transition
  from one chord to another
* Personally, I mostly use the ones on the left

   E  A  D  G  B  E      E  A  D  G  B  E

A  5  7  7  6  5  5  or  0  0  2  2  2  0
B  7  9  9  8  7  7  or  2  2  4  4  4  2
C  3  3  5  5  5  3  or  8 10 10  9  8  8
F  8  8 10 10 10  8  or  1  3  3  2  1  1
E  7  7  9  9  9  7  or  0  2  2  1  0  0
D  5  5  7  7  7  5  or  0  0  0  2  3  2
Bb 1  1  3  3  3  1  or  1  1  3  3  3  1
G  3  5  5  4  3  3  or  3  2  0  0  3  3

  other notes with your other fingers to make your life
  easier

  you to bar the fifth anyway so no need for your fingers
  to race around the guitar

[Intro]

*Riff 1*


[Verse 1]

*Riff 2*      D           A       *Riff 2*            D    A

Wide awake at four in the morning killing time on the blue highway

*Riff 2*      D          A     *Riff 2*               D         A

Drag down the day like a body, buried the night under where I'd layed


[Chorus 1]

C                 D                  E

On all the sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me

A            B      C                          F

Oh yeah it's like a cold in my head, it's your favourite plan

E                       A

And you've touched everyone

             B        C                        F

Oh yeah it's like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue

E

And it's starting to get fun

*Play Riff 1 twice


[Verse 2]

*Riff 1*          D      A       *Riff 1*      D         A

Kids say I didn't see it coming, busy just plucking your burrs

*Riff 1*          D           A        *Riff 1*     D        A

I take long walks because I'm numbing, only want to speak in code

[Chorus 1]

C                 D                  E

On all the sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me

A            B      C                          F

Oh yeah it's like a cold in my head, it's your favourite plan

E                       A

And you've touched everyone

             B        C                        F

Oh yeah it's like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue

E

And it's starting to get fun


[Bridge 1]

Bb  F     G    D       Bb    F         G        A

Cut me up like jigsaw, whole affection cracked apart

         Bb          F        G        D      A

Like the lines at my end of a map of a broken heart


[Solo]

* Bar the seventh fret on the solo notes while plucking
  as it's easier than moving your fingers all over the
  place

   A        B  C             F       E       A
