An awesome song! I saw a request for it (kinda a request) at the end of the tab
for "Amazing", and thought I'd give it a go. The lead riff is kinda tricky but
it's correct. I haven't seen the video for this song, or any live recordings of
Alex playing it, but I think it's all spot on. Comments? (Oh yeah, the chord Gm
is played right up at the 10th fret, I wrote out how to play it above, but it's
a bit hard to understand; you should get what I mean, though.)

VERSE 1
G     C             G
 This house is your own
      C       G
Still living alone
   C             G
It don't make you sad
    C            Am
But I think it's good to be green
G    C         G
 The summer is gone
    C              G
And spring don't belong
    C          G
The traces are here
    C
For long winter
Am
I miss the green
   C
It used to be clean


PRE-CHORUS
Gm
  If you want to be free
B#m
    Please don't fall for me
F           A#     F
 I could be anyone but your friend
Gm
  If you open the door
B#m
   I'll give a whole lot more
F           A#     F
 I could be anyone but your friend


VERSE 2
G  C           G
 Assumption is good
       C         G
Though not likelihood
       C          G
And my feeling is true
  C          Am
I want to be living with you
G    C          G
 The truth it begins
      C            G
We're breathing it in
     C          G
With shadows of doubt
   C            Am
In time we will all miss the green
   C
It used to be clean


CHORUS
B#m           D#
   Anyone ...    anyone ...
A#            F           B#m
   Anyone ...    no no no no

   Anyone ...    anyone ...
A#            F           B#m
   Anyone ...    no no no no
B#m           D#
   Anyone ...    anyone ...
A#            F
   Anyone ...    yeah
B#m           D#
   Anyone ...    anyone ...
A#            F           B#m
   Anyone ...    no no no no
B#m           D#
   Anyone ...    anyone ...
A#            F           B#m (let ring)
   Anyone ...    yeah


(Seeing is believing, the feeling is deceiving
You know it's the truth
When you find that you can't talk
Leaving on this, all into chaos
Seeing is feeling is seeing is feeling is you)
