             from the album 'You'd Prefer An Astronaut' 

   use dropped-D tuning (tune your low E string down to D)

   Listen to the song for timing; I haven't tabbed every single chord
   stroke (that last chord in verse progression is sometimes played 
   will get you pretty close.

        ....how it all goes together...


        morning grey ignites a twisted mess
        of foreign shapes and sounds
        I wish the ceiling was the ground
        I'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun
        to help me make up for this one
        while you send me tidal waves of love
        when you're alone and I can't remember what you do
        define a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue
        and bring me faithful back to you


        and she don't hold me right  
        shes never gonna get me there
        and she don't hold me right
        shes never gonna get me there   
        not tonight

        (verse chord progression with distortion)

        if we break off gently its the motion
        spinning outward into space
        my hand always firm and gently at the wheel
        while you sweetly hold my face
        and I need you to give it meaning
        I need you to share the view
        or it becomes a time for me to love myself
        like every other thing I do

        (chorus again, and then back to verse progression)
