Solid song from the In Valleys- EP, released a little before The Glass Passenger. It’s
first tab, sorry if there’s anything wrong, I think it sounds right though. There is
some other guitar tracks over the last chorus, but they’re pretty low in the mix and I
here them that well, they are similar to the intro riff. Have fun.
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
Piano riff, followed by clean electric guitar:
e|--6-5----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------6-8---6------6-6-8--6-6----------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse:
I have become increasingly overwhelmed
But not discouraged
So now we leave the infirmary,
Feeling well, but lacking
Courage (Courage)
(intro guitar riff)
And now the rockets fly above
Passing over Cape Canaveral
There is the woman with the drugs
In the launch pad, in the launch pad
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jacks_mannequin/cell_phone_tab.html ]
Chorus:
Two guitar parts, lead clean electric guitar and rhythm clean electric guitar
(lead in tab, rhythm chords above)

And she’s gonna ring me up on my cellular phone
So I know I’m not alone
In a world full of vampires
C’mon honey, talk me down
On my cellular phone
Cuz I can’t get home
I’m a slave to the wires
Post Chorus:
Rhythm clean electric guitar:
G F B flat
I’ve done this before
I can do it more
Verse 2:
I have become increasingly overwhelmed
But not in public
I’m not so patient when they stare
There’s a fighter, somewhere underneath
The skin and bones
And do you know what I mean?
What I mean when I say
That this girl has got a thing for my machine
Chorus
Post Chorus
Breakdown:
Rhythm clean electric guitar:
F Dmin B flat
And I’ve given everything and more
Sometimes convinced I have the world to carry
Every day is more that I get strong
From dusk to dawn I won’t be shaking
Make sure they take me in the night
I don’t think my signal’s fading
For you
For you to ring, for you to ring
Chorus
Post Chorus
