Tabbed by Marcus Hautz (endofallthings at gmx. de)
 
Standard Tuning. This is one hell of a fun song to play.
You'll find a few pointers on strumming and intonating the
different parts on the bottom of the tab. But just listen
to the song and you'll get it.
 
Enjoy !

A few hints on strumming :
 
1) For the verse
Chords: G        D           Em          C
Strum:  D  -  D  U  -  U  D  U  -  U  D  U  -  U  D  U
Text:   Sitting  at the      railway     station
 
2) Play the Em dirctly after the Verse twice
Chords: Em    Em                Am       C
Strum:  D  -  D  -  -  U  D  U  D  -  D  U  -  U  D  U  
Text:                           really smart
 
3) In the "Bridge" part play a different strumming
Chords: G                       C                       D
Strum:  D  -  D  U  -  U  D  U  D  -  D  U  -  U  D  U  D
Text:   wad   it up    and      throw it in    my       face
