Sick song, I can't believe there are no tabs for it. It sounds like he plays
it with no capo, but if you're good enough to notice or care, you're
probably good enough to transcribe this for yourself better than I have.
Db minor
Capo 4
Chord names are the actual chords, but I will diagram them relative to the
capo (so an E chord is played with the C shape with the capo)

The boy's gone home.
C#m7 B
The boy's gone.

What will happen to a face in the

Crowd when it finally gets too crowded?

And what will happen to the origins of
E G#7/C
Sound after all the sounds have sounded?

Well I hope I never have to see that day
B F#sus4/Bb

-----Verse 2----- (Same as verse 1)
And what becomes of a day for
Those who rage against it?
And who will sum up the phrase
For all left standing around in it?
-----Prechorus/Chorus----- (Same)
Well I suppose we'll all make our judgement calls
We'll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall
So we better be happy now that
We'll all go home.
That we'll all go home.
Be so happy with the way you are
Just be happy that you made it this far
Go on be happy now.
Please be happy now.
-----Bridge-----
C#m7 E7 A G#7
Because you say that this, this is something else (alright)
I say that this, this is something else (well alright)
I say that this, oh, this is something, this is something else
Oo thi-thi-thi-thi-this is all, thi-thi-thi-thi-this is yeah,
thi-thi thi-thi-thi-this is all something else
-----Chorus----- (Same same same)
Well I tried to live my life and lived it so well
But when it's all over is it heaven or is it hell
So I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows
I'm gonna be happy with the way that I am
I'm gonna be happy with all that I stand for
I'm gonna be happy now because the boy's going home.
The boy's gone home.
Yeah the boy's gone home.
Yeah the boy's gone home.
Yeah the boy's gone home.
