CAPO 5

On the record its tuned down but in this performance it's standard so its your choice

Tuning:
Recorded- Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Live- E A D G B E

My main reason for doing this tab is to fix the bridge from whats been posted before and 
have it just like Jon does.
the other ones sound okay with the vocal but they aren't how Jon plays it.
This is the way Jon Foreman plays American Dream on the * video.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen Jon Foreman use a capo.
Everything is of course relative to the capo.
I did my best to line up the lyrics to the tab

When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line
Where success is equated with excess
If your time had been nothing but money
I start to feel really bad for you honey
Maybe honey put your money
Where your mouth's been running
If your time had been nothing but money

As the heart and the soul breathe in the company goals
Where success is equated with excess

This bridge thing here has been done wrong a lot here on the site
The other ones posted sound great along with the vocal but
they aren't what Jon does so here it is, its a little complicated
and the timing is a bit weird but this is 100% right. If you need
help check out the video at live-pulse or email me.
