David Bazan: Fewer Broken Pieces (acoustic)
Tabbed by: Steve White (stevimus@gmail.com)

Capo: 3rd fret

G#dim7:    4-x-3-4-x-1--|
Fmaj7/c:   1-3-3-2-1-0--| (play the bass note w/ your thumb. He slightly embellishes it 
pulling off and on with his first and second finger)

VERSE 1:

C/g             F                Am                Em
If you make a reference to some trouble, that you know
F                G                  C/g
Can it help you keep it under control?
E                  Am         Em
Or should I really re---consider
   F                  C/g
My reasons for going solo
Dm                  Em              G
David byrne on Bob Costas, puts it pretty well
   G#dim7
But I put it better


CHORUS:
Am      C/g      Fmaj7/c
I still run the show
      C/g     G
Don't you forget it
     Am     C/g      Fmaj7/c   F
So I had to let some go
      C/g          G
Don't think I don't regret it
        Am  C/g  Fmaj7/c         c          G
Cause I do and I don't think I'm better off alone


INTERLUDE:

A|:-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E|:-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| x2

 F                       G
Man I could have, had a, big sound
 F                       G          G#dim7
But I love to, let my, friends down

Fmaj7/c      C/g           Dm   Em   Am
Fmaj7/c      C/g           Dm   Em   G

VERSE 2:
Fmaj7/c      C/g         Dm    Em    Am
Fewer moving parts means fewer broken pieces
     Fmaj7/c     C/g       Dm     Em       G
When every other start requires a brand new theosis
Fmaj7/c         C/g              G#dim7
One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry:
 Am    C/g   Fmaj7/c                  C/g
"Jesus dude! None of us know what to do with you"
         Dm             Em
To which I in my pride responded
           G
"I've got news for you:
G#dim7
None of you have to, cause"

Back to the chorus
through the interlude, end on C/g.
