Here’s a tab for Ship in a Bottle by Bright Eyes. It’s not an easy one to tab, but I
this is accurate, and it works OK even if it’s not entirely right.
 
 
[Intro]
F#m D x4
(use the 2nd fret F#m and the open D, because you need to hit the F# on the high E 
every time you play)
 
  F#m                       D
I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open,
    F#m             D
That fixes all of life's mistakes
  F#m                     D
I wanna be the house that you were raised in
   F#m              D
The only place that you feel safe
 
  F#m                D
I wanna be a shower in the morning
   F#m                D
That wakes you up and makes you clean
  F#m                        D
I know I'm just the weather against your window
   F#m                 D            A
As you sleep through a winter's dream
 
F#m
Someones churning the earth
                      C#m
Someone's stirring the sky
E                                  F#m
Every color at once in a column of lights
F#m                            C#m
Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide
E                           G#
The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye
 
       A              B
Don't adore what is impossible
        E                     G#
We have built this ship in a wine bottle
                       A
But if you knew how it worked,
                  G#
We'd have to grow old
 
[Bridge]
F#m D x12
 
A
 
F#m                                          C#m
Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night
E                                                F#m
If you're digging the past, who knows what you'll find
F#m                                         C#m
Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide
E                                      G#
And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life
 
          A               B
Don't you love what is intangible
       E                    G#
I have built this ship in a wine bottle
                      A
But if you knew who I waaaaaas...
                     G#
You would never grow old
