Chord key:
(Quick note: The Am-Asus2-Am and D-Dsus4-D are just hammers-on and pull-offs
to those middle chords for accentuation--again, a Dishwalla trait.)

Riff:
(This is the riff played over the second choruses--use a slide--
with lots of reverb and some distortion to get that nice legato feel.
Again, use your ears, and you'll figure out which part to use where.
It's really basic.)

Intro:
G-D/F#-Em7 x2
(listen for the timing--it's just a basic strumming pattern anyways, with just one
acoustic strumming and one doubling or providing arpeggios to make the sound sound
fuller. I'm not going to bother tabbing any of the main chords because they are
easy to pick up on. This is a good 'first song' to learn.)
Verse 1:
I don't know where to go
G D/F# Em7
So I guess i'll have to fly
G D/F# Em7
I'll have to dream of all good things before I die
G
So where to go
D/F# Em7
Lord I guess I'll have to fly
G D/F# Em7
I'll have to dream of all good things before I die
Chorus:
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
And it's getting so much harder to be one these days
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
So much harder to believe
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
And so much harder to be one these days
C Em7 D Dsus4 D
So much harder to believe yeah believe
Verse 2:
G D/F# Em7
And did they know that they'd need a fence so high
G D/F# Em7
Cause givin' up is a total waste of time
G D/F# Em7
I stop to breathe in air as I
G D/F# Em7
I watch the ground beneath us blend into the sky
Chorus:
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
And it's getting so much harder to be one these days
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
So much harder to believe
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
It's so much harder to be one these days
C Em7 D Dsus4 D
So much harder to believe
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
Cause it's getting so much harder to be one these days
C Em7 Am Asus2 Am
So much harder to believe
C Em7 Am
So much harder to be one these days
C Em7 D Dsus4 D
So much harder to believe
Outro:
(He plays something similar to this over and over. This isn't exact. He's really just fingerpicking
the chords apart within the key. Just arpeggiate really, and you'll get what they
are trying to accomplish here. Play the notes in () after the first time he starts playing this passage.)
