himself

Here's the lyrics with the number of the chord to play above them. Now these ARE 100% accurate.

The numbers were placed above the syllable of the word where it's started in the song
to help you with the timing a little, the ones after the words were kinda just put in.
I tried to space them to show which were farther apart than the rest, but you'll have
to play along with the song a few times to get it right.

1                       2
I'm always assuming the worst
                           3
But you're going on nonetheless
                                    4          5  2 
And there's nothing to cushion your heart-lead fall
1                     2
Letters from further away
                         3
Keep pulling me close to home
                                    4       5  2
And they're something to cushion my callous eyes
1
And I know that you hope for
2          3
Longer goodbyes
                 4
Embracing for forever
    5       2       1
And falling in your eyes
        2
In your eyes
     3    4 5 2 1
Your eyes
        6         7
Pouring over photographs
    6              8
I'm living in your letters
1                        6
Breathe deeply from this envelope

It smells like you and
7
I can't be
    6
Without that scent
     8
It's filling me
1                    6
With all you mean to me
   7  6  8
To me
1                         2
Continually failing these trials
                           3
But you stand by me nonetheless
    
And you won't let me sink
           4
Though I'm begging you
    5          2  1
I'm begging you
                         2
Phonecalls from further away
                    3
And messages on my machine

But I don't ever tell you
     4 
This distance
      5    2   1
Seems terrible
                              2
And there's no need to test my heart
             3
With useless space
                     4
These roads go on forever
         5      2    1
There'll always be a place
    2
For you
      3    4   5  2 9  6 7  6 8  7  6  9   6 7  6 8  7  6
In my heart
   9
So I'll hit the pavement
6    7               6    8      7  6
It's gotta be better than waitin'
    9         6
And pusing you
7       6
Far away
8                7  6
'Cause I'm scared
   9                    6   7
So I'll take my chances and head on
      6
My way
8       7  6
Up there
      9                6  
Cause turning to you is like
7               6           8  7  6
Falling in love when you're ten

Then it's 9, 2 palm mute strokes and then the final stroke is 000004
                                                       String:654321

Just listen to the song for the rhythm and you're set. I couldn't find this tab anywhere
so I hope you guys like it, it's a beautiful song and fairly easy to play when you get
the hang of it.
