tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
chords used:
A5sus: X02200 AsusaddF#: 202200 A*: X02255
B5sus: X24400 C#5sus: X46600 D: XX0232
E5sus: 022X00 F#: 244XXX G: 320033
G#5: 466XXX (open): 000030
notes:
- I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.
- I shortened all the "sus" and "5" chord names. So when you see "A" in
the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any
confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names.
- (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.
- The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.
- In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it
sound good.
- The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a
combination of the notes and chords.
- This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. If I made any mistakes,
please let me know!

lyrics:
AaddF# E B AaddF#
throw away the radio suitcase that keeps you awake
E B AaddF#
hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case
E B AaddF#
you realize that sometimes you're just not okay
E B AaddF#
you level off, you level off, you level off, and it's not alright now
E G# F# AaddF#
you need to understand there's nothing strange about this
E B (hold)
you need to know your friends, you need to know that
pre-chorus:
A E A
i'll be waving my hand, watching you drown
B F#
watching you scream quiet or loud
chorus:
C# A E B
and maybe you should sleep
C# A E B
and maybe you just need ... a friend
A C# B C#
as clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
A E B F#
you will be safe in here
A E B (hold)
you will be safe in here
AaddF# E B AaddF#
throw away this very old shoelace, it tripped you again
E B
try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
AaddF#
it's only skin now
E G# F# AaddF#
you need to understand there's nothing fake about this
E B
you need to let me in ... i'm watching you and
