Tuning = a rare STANDARD for Mr. Malkmus.


Intro:
E|-----4---------------------------------------------------|
B|-6h7----7--6-----6---------------------------------------|
G|--------------5-----5----3----0------6------6-6--6-------|
D|-----------------------------------4---4-3---3-4---4-3---|
A|-------------------------------------------------------4-|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|

E|-----4---------------------------------------------------|

G|--------------5-----5----3----0------6------6-6--6-------|
D|-----------------------------------4---4-3---3-4---4-6-6-|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|


These are the actual chords, but it�s a lot easier w/ a capo on 1st fret. 
If playing w/ capo 1st fret, obviously just move each chord down half step
for appropriate fingerings.


C#                        C#/C
Bleed the pot When you're hot you're hot

	         Bbm	                    F#
And when enough is enough Do the fakers drop out?

C#	               C#/C
Promise me You will always be

    Bbm	                    F#
Too awake to be famous Too wired to be safe

    C#	           C#/C
But all you really wanted 

    *Bbm             F#
Was everything Plus everything


        C#                  G#         F#       C#
And the truth I only poured you Half a line


*Lead Guitar Part (starts at �Everything Plus everything��)
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------2-4-2-4-2-4-4/6------6/4-----4h6-4/2----------|
G|-3-5-3-5-3-5-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------3----|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|



(Play intro part again here) 



C#	           C#/C
Carry on It's a marathon

        Bbm	                F#
Take me off the list I don't want to be missed

C#	               C#/C
Carrion Its what we all become

     Bbm	                      F#
From small minds and tall trees Away from the action

    C#             C#/C
But all you ever wanted

    *Bbm	           F#
Was everything And everything

         C#                  G#        F#         C#
Plus the truth I only poured you Half alive Half alive

C#	                G#       	  F#       C#
    I only poured you half a lie


*(Lead Guitar part shown above played here as well)


(Next Malkmus plays the intro w/ subtle variations in it. I just improvise 
this part.)


(Now, this weird double guitar harmony solo thing (at 2:17) is impossible to
figure out. Sorry. Please email me if you can figure it out.)



(Now for this guitar solo, there is a second guitar part harmonizing along
 the way, but this is the main melody for the solo. Play it alone and it�ll
 still sound nice. The end gets sort of questionable, but still sounds
 close. Then the last 5 notes are a perfectly awesome ending. Listen to song
 for exact timing of everything.)

Enjoy! Such a great song. I was surprised I couldn't find a tab, so I
 decided to do it myself.

Peace.
