_________________________________________________________________
So following that rhythm the rest of the song goes like this, for the verses use the
rhythms above, just use the chord names as markers. The chords in the chorus are played
un-arpeggiated, and as barre chords, whereas the chords in the bridge are too
un-arpeggiated, although they are in the open form. BEFORE I get anyone criticising my tab for
having a
C# chord rather than C#m, it's just used to symbolise the octave chord.

Verse 1:
B C# Aadd9
I drive this car through the city every night
F#m7 Riff Asus2
There's a quiet I never heard before
B C# Add9
And lonely, my sister could not describe
F#m7 Riff Asus2
All the good things gone wrong
Chorus Variant 1:
a
And there was blood on my teeth
F#m
From the long winter here
a
Bones broke in half
a
A stain on my shirt
F#m
From a couple hours out with the boys
E
And all good things come to an end
B5 C#5 Bm(4)/A
And all memory has left my bones
Interlude:F#m7 Riff Asus2
Verse 3:
B C# Aadd9
If I drove straight off this bridge
F#m7 Riff Asus2
Only God and my baby would know
B C# Aadd9
I'm sure she'd be laughing, come during spring
F#m7 Riff Asus2
With some fella who just said the right thing
Chorus Variant 2:
a
And there was blood on my teeth
F#m
From just what they did here
a
Bones broke in half
a
A stain on my shirt
F#m
From a couple hours out with the boys
E
And all good things come to an end
Bridge:
Dsus4 F#m
See all I can do is think about you
Bm a
And miss all your kisses like the spring
E
But if I had a sign
Dsus4
That one day you'd be mine again, oh no
F#m Bm a
If I could hold you right then
E
As the chill in this season sputtered and spit and died with...
Chorus Variant 3:
a
Blood on my teeth
F#m
From just what they did here
a
Snow tumbling down on the ground
F#m
And me stumbling out of my heart
a (Diminuendo)
Finding cherry blossoms on the hood of my car
