The 2nd achord in the main verse.. i have no idea what that
is at the moment.
Any takers????
Also, i saw them play this live recently at the Big Day Out, and he's playing the first
Asus chord at the 5th fret..
And no, its not finished, I'm not happy with the picking bit after the first verse,
but i'll work on it when i can be bothered...
at least this should be better than anything thats already out there....
cya..

I also think that the last part of the riff above is played down below on the
frets closer to the neck. Its upto you to decide. I've tabbed it both
ways though....

THE LYRICS
You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view
