[verse]:


Gm                   Gm Gm / Bb  Gm            Gm   Bb Cm
  you used to bury me            way underground

Cm                            Gm    F  F/Gm
  thought it had to be this way


Gm                    Gm Gm/Bb  Gm         Gm    Bb  Cm
but i've been watching,         watching you

Cm                        Gm         F/ Gm
  and I get smarter everyday


Gm          Gm Gm/Bb   Gm     Gm        Gm Gm Bb/Cm
take the voices           from your mouth

                          Gm   F F/Gm
I've got the key to this door


Gm     Gm/Bb Gm    Gm        Gm

Gm   Bb            Cm  F               Bb       Eb Dm
    what you gonna do   what you gonna do about me-ee

 Am      Gm+
whoa-a  whoa-hoa


Gm              Gm/Bb Gm       Gm Bb/Cm                        Gm
you've been stealing all the air,  you've been using all the sound
I made a deal with the o-o-ocean,    I made a deal with the ground

[chorus]

[break]

[repeat intro]

[bridge]:

     Gm            Bb            Cm
I am riding on the bus  I am working at my job

      F                          Gm
I am calling out your name I am standing at your door

      Gm              Bb            Cm
I am counting out the money   I am carrying my child

     F                                  Gm
I am coming down your driveway     I am giving you a chance

[chorus]

x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
/ is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes
in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is Gm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb at the
6th and NOT Gm with Bb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm


chords

 E  a  D  G  B  E
 3  5  5  3  3  3 - Gm
 6  8  8  7  6  6 - Bb  (this fingering mostly)
 x  1  3  3  3  1 - Bb  (in the intro)

it all in. Here's a couple of the main picked parts(* and + in the
chorus), if you want the full monty in tab then send me a mail.
