       Csus2     G/B          
It's a one time thing, it just 
G5      G5/F#
happens a lot
Csus2        G/B   G            
  Walk with me and we will see 
    G5/F#
what we have got
Csus2  G/B  G5  G5/F#    Csus2 
Ahhhhhhh...              
 G/B  G5  G5/F#
Ahhhhhhh...

   Csus2         G/B           G5
My footsteps are ticking, like 
            G5/F#
water dripping from a tree
Csus2      G/B          G5      
Walking a hairline, and stepping
      G5/F#
 very carefully
Csus2  G/B  G5  G5/F#    Csus2 
Ahhhhhhh...              
 G/B  G5  G5/F#  G5/F#
Ahhhhhhh...

Ahhhhhhh...

   Csus2    G/B    G5          
My heart is broken; it's worn out at
G5/F#
 the knees
Csus2            G/B           
Hearing muffled, seeing blind, 
G5            G5/F#
soon it will hit the deep freeze

    Csus2        G/B      G5     
And something is cracking, I 
        G5/F#
don't know where
Csus2       G/B      G5  
Ice on the sidewalk, brittle 
             G5/F#
branches in the air

    Csus2    G/B     G5          
The sun is blinding, dizzy 
   G5/F#
golden, dancing green

G5                  F#[single note]
Through the park in the afternoon, 
wondering where the hell

 Csus2    G/B    G5  G5/F#  G5/F#
I     have   been

INTRO AND VERSE:

[Most of the verse just uses the 
first four measures of tab.]
[Note that whenever the G5 measure 
comes before the Em7-A7 part,
 there is also an A bass note in the
 second half of the measure.]
