I think this is the first attempt to show how to play ten...
________________________________
Standard Tuning
for the intro, play something like this
e-----------------|
B-----------------|
G----2------------|
D----2------------| over and over
A-----------------|
E-----------------|
when the words come in we start playing these three chords for the verse
A E/G# D/F#
e--0---0----2-------|
B--2---0----3-------|
G--2---1----2-------|
D--2---2----0-------| these chords are picked, not strummed.
A--0---2------------| always hit the bass note first
E------4----2-------|
Verse One:
A E/G# D/F#
We left behind the busy crowd.
A E/G# D/F#
So it seems we slow down.
A E/G# D/F#
Meet me with a way out through the lies.
A E/G# D/F#
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light.
Chorus:
F#m E A
Blame no one. X2

Verse Two:
A E/G# D/F#
The feelings change so fast.
A E/G# D/F#
Safety scares them away.
A E/G# D/F#
I can't bring myself to say it's my own advice I need.
A E/G# D/F#
Nowhere and then nowhere. Living trapped inside the chase.
Chorus Two:
F#m E A
Blame no one. X4
Bridge:
D, E, F#m
D E F#m
Our weakness is the same. We need poison sometimes. X2
D E A
So take another drink with me.
Chorus Three:
F#m E A
Blame no one. X4
Outro:
F#m, E, A played very high on the piano...
