This is my very first guitar tab and I've been playing for about a year now. Anyway, it
sounds right to me. The ending sounds a bit off, though. Enjoy!
"Loose Leaves" by Bright Eyes
CThe story is in the soil
FLoose leaves Gcover the ground
CThere are volumes in the forest Fno one reads Gout loud
EmIf I could take them down off of that mountain shelf...Gwe used to climb but
no one tries to go up that far now
CYeah, we're all too busy working, Fentertaining Gourselves
C40 hours, television Fand prescriGption pills
EmWell, I take two a day to make my Gbrain behave
It never does but who is to say, at least my doctor gets paid
CSo that is fine, yeah come by, Fwe'll take the Gafternoon off
CWe can kiss and undress or if Fyou want just tGalk
Em'Cause I've got nothing real, Gjust empty space to fill
And you are my girl, I like your style, just imagine all the time we could kill
FAnd time is not poison Gbut once you drink it all you'll Emdie
EmSo lets just sip it real slow, yAmeah, we can nurse it all night
Try to believe that once it's gone Cthey will pour another round
We will come back to life
We'll come right back
CIt's all moving fast now, yeah, and Fthat's what theyG say
CAnd though some days still take foreFver I can't disaGgree
EmBecause it seems to me that I wake up and sleep, Glook in the mirror and
have no idea what happened in between
CBut I remember counting days down until the yeFar could be dGone
CSo I could scatter all my notebooks on the prFep school lawnG
EmAnd disappear again into a summer's bliss of staGying out and sleeping in
and getting drunk with my friends
CAnd that's gone and I know that it won't eFver come bacGk
I accept
CI won't cling to what I had iFn the paGst
Embut life is a slippery slope
Regret is the steepest hill
GHope for the best
EmPlan for the worst and maybe wind up sGomewhere in the middle
FAnd I'm not saying that I know what IG want
EmBut I know what I don't, don't want toAm rot in my room and never know what
Ccould have been, believe what everyone else tells me is true
[Rest is C, I think]
They will say 'true'
That is what they'll say
That's it
Believe what everyone else tells me is true
They will say 'true'
That is what they'll say
That's it
~Peace.
