Capo 1st fret
I've just taken the other one on the site, and put some other chords on, since I think 
is this way he plays it.

           F#                       C
 There's a life full, dangling from string
      F#             C
 It's slowly swaying over my head now
       F#                            C       G
 As I jot down the words that will never be solved
     Am                    G
 And wait for my headache to numb

         F#                           C
 And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
         F#                 C
 And the moon's just a torn fingernail
        F#                   C      G
 As the TV flickers in homes by the wall
       Am                      G
 And I wait for my eyesight to fade


      F#         C           Am               G
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
      F#         C           Am               G
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

 Not pride, I choke on ambition
 And the old folks circle their graves
 And the young ones are busy destroying their heirs
 And the heirs are still just wasting away

 I sit and watch this screen for a message
 Some kind of sign that says we're ok
 But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing on
 And I wait for my conscience to break

Instrumental: F# - C - Am - F - G (I'm not sure about this, but it sounds ok)

 So...
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
 So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

 I hope you are learning to listen
 And I hope you are learning to stay
 And I hope you find what you are missing
 And I hope they're making your way

 I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving
 And my head hurts if I don't sit still
 It's an itch that I never stop scratching
 It's a hole that I'll never quite fill

 So...

Outro: F# - C - Am - G
