Capo: 4
So the only version of this song on the site was only bar chords pretty much so I thought I would post an
easier version of the song for beginners :D This is my first Tab so it might not be perfect:/ Theres a few
bar chords but at least the whole song isn't bar chords, hope this helps :)

A E (X2)
SAomebody Escreamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams
Explode into a bDlack fist, he falls to the floor
AHe stares up at the sEky and he may wish he knew why
But you can't go bDack there no more
F#Future sounds so crazy
We've all hEeard that song before
TF#omorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame
When the train just don't Estop here anymore
AI got Estarry-eyed on the coaster ride
Andy says, &quDot;man I need a break from the world outside"
These dayAs mEy life just careens through a pinball machine
I could do so much betDter but I can't get off the tilt
And there's a F#photograph on the TV
Black and white Eand Andy says something to you
F#Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
She says, &quoEt;I forget myself sometimes too"
F#Out past the doorways where we are sleeping
Well, the Bwhite queens creep
And the Tom cats peep
Chorus
------
Now AI'm not breaking,
The Btrain's just shaking,
I Enever made it here befoAre,
AThere's a white mouse spinning the girls Baround,
'Til theyE can't take it anymAore
I used to dAream in the dark
of BPalisades park
EUp over the cliffs and
Adown among the sparks
AIt's a long life
BFull of long nights
But it was Enot what I wasB waiting fAor
DEverybody's seeC#n the horses diving down the F#shore
It's a mC#iracle they don't make them anymoF#re.
ESo make up ladies, wake up baby
AYou walked inEto the bar like some Saturday star
Stud-straight on sDpiked heels and needles and nerves,
AYou're aE down town pride, fully amplified Clyde,
Gin-tight and Daging but well-preserved,
Remember F#Andy outside your bedroom window,
Saying "come on, leEt's drive across to the Palisades"
Keep gF#oing 'til we hit Reno, Nevada
I don't see Andy aEll that much these days,
Still there are pF#ages in back,
Of the action stacks
Where, the wBhite queens creep
And the Tom cats peep and...
Now the tArains not braking,
The tBrack's just shaking,
I nEever made it here befoAre,
And there's a sAky rocket turning the Bworld around,
E'Til I can't take it anyAmore
AYou can carry that spark
from BPalisades park
EDown over the cliffs and Aout into the dark
AIt's a long life
BFull of long nights
But it was Enot what I wasB looking Afor
DEverybody dreams ofC# horses flying round the sF#hore
It's a bC#ad dream we're not having anymoF#re
EMan,
Have you sF#een Andy?
Hey mEan hey man!
Have you seen him aroF#und?
Hey mEan!
Have you seen my my my my my my my AF#ndy?
Have you Eseen him? x 4 Hey!
Have you seen Andy aroF#und?
EDressed up in our pirate best
All lF#eathers and feather and pearls
Andy said,B "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could
EFinger up this whole world"
He said, "Bcome outside
Bsus2Climb out your bedroom window
AShimmy down the fire escape and sEay good-bye
BCome outside"
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just F#like Edie
Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and Esay good-bye
CBome outside
Well maybe we could F#move to California
Just mAeet me at the subway and sayE good-bye
CBome outside
The cops all think we're cF#razy
If you stay you'll just get Amarried
To a girl who'll never know you and then sEay good-bye
EHey man, have you seen Andy?
I lF#ost her in the sun
I was Ahigh as a kite on lovely and white
Man, you could Elose anyone
EHey hey man, have you seen Andy?
F#I don't know where she's gone
ABut real love outlives teenage lust
We could get wet Eand it keeps us warm
BLove is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
...Esometimes not
BHave you bee aching to trust or just...?
F#Have you been waking yourself with lust...?
AHave you been making us up or just taking us F#home?
EIt's a long wait
At a lAongE light
Cars fArozen iEn flight
AAll the Etraffic stops to stare
F#At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
AWearing nothing but air
And a pair of F#grey paper wings
Andy thinks, "man, I Ahave got nothing to wear"
F#We got nothing new and
AWe got nothing to wear
AWe got nothing to wear
AWe got nothing Eto wear
