The Swell Season - Falling Slowly Tab

   
The previous tab was nearly spot-on, but I tried to add in some of the notes contributed 
the piano so that if you're playing this on guitar without a piano, that it 'sounds' 
like the complete song. Obviously, use your better judgment.
Don't let the lengthy chord names fool you, they're rather simple changes (see bottom of 
for chord diagrams). Many chords use the thumb over the top to get the low E string.
Cheers,
-Scott

Verse 1:
(Pattern 1)
I don’t know you, but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me, and always fool me
And I can’t react

(Pattern 2)
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Verse 2:
(Pattern 1)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back

And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
