Tabbed by: Andrew Maynard

Tuning: Standard

These are just the raw chords for this song. It's up to you to figure out
the strumming pattern and shapes/positions of the chords that are used.

Intro
              G
  wait-wait-wait-
             bm                  em
  before you go i want you to know
                  am        D                                G
  all that you were and the sound that you made when you moved
                 bm                em
  before you leave i need you to see
                  am           D                am  
  all that you mean, you would hardly believe it
    (bass build-up on G)

Verse 1
  G                                em
  sitting in the kitchen wondering how it is i'll tell you this
            am                 C
  when the phone rings, so i start right in then:
  G                               em
  we are shells or instruments, inside there's sound that speaks to us
       am                       D
  if you listen, and i've been listening

Chorus 1
          G                             em
  and i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit
      F                           C
  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got
   G                               em
  sorry to confuse you with some foolish thing that misses truth
      F                                 C
  but maybe that's all we are, around a brightly dying star

Verse 2
         G                           em
  these spiralled shells so sexual, could out-reveal the texts
               am           C
  we dwell upon, or maybe not, but certainly
  G                            em
  a sound that's free can open me and easily
               am                      D
  just rip my heart out, and start me shouting:

Interlude 1 (played on piano)
  G               c#m  D  d#m  em  em7  C  cm
  this is how i feel... (repeat)

Chorus 2
      G                            em
  i'm sorry to reduce you to this useless imagistic bullshit
       F                          C
  but maybe that's all i've got, maybe that's all i've got
   G                             em
  sorry to abuse you with this ruthlessly sadistic music
       F                                   C
  but maybe that's all i want (i'm just a really pretentious guy)

Interlude 2
                                     G
  but wait! wait! wait! wait! wait! wait!
             bm                 em
  before you go, i want you to know
                am             D                            G
  all that you were, and the sound that you made when you moved
              bm                   em
  before you leave, i need you to see
                am              D (start making it funky!)
  all that you mean, you would hardly believe it
  am                           D
  you would hardly believe it, you would hardly believe it...
  am                          D
  if i could just speak it, you would hardly believe it...
  D
  you would hardly believe

Outro (piano again)
  G               c#m  D  d#m  em  em7  C  cm
  but this is how i feel...

And that's it, beautiful tune. You can find more at www.heyrosetta.com!
