[Verse 1]
 
Eb           Gm                   Bb       F
Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
          Eb              Gm                 Bb                 F
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do
Eb            Gm                 Bb        F
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
        Eb               Gm           Bb            F
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
      Eb            F       Gm
Oh I wanna talk to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Eb              Gm     Bb            F     Main riff
You can take a picture of something you see
Eb      Gm     Bb          F   Main riff
In the future where will I be?
Eb              Gm     Bb        F   Main riff
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Eb            Gm     Bb       F
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Eb               F
 Main riff(just part 2)
Or do something that's never been done
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Eb       Gm            Bb       F
Are you lost or incomplete?
        Eb          Gm                Bb                F
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
         Eb         Gm            Bb        F
Tell me how do you feel?
        Eb                Gm           Bb               F
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
             Eb           F      Gm
And they're talking it to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Eb             Gm     Bb            F     Main riff
So you take a picture of something you see
Eb      Gm      Bb         F   Main riff
In the future where will I be?
Eb               Bb    Gm         F  Main riff
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Eb            Gm     Bb       F
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Eb               F                 Gm
 Main riff (Part 2)
Or do something that's never been done,
Eb             F                Gm
 Main riff (Part 2)
Do Something that's never been done
 
After this chorus comes something like this...
e|---11--|      e|---10--|      e|-6-8-6------| \
B|-8-----|      B|-8-----|      B|------8-6-8-|  \
G|-------| x8   G|-------| x5   G|------------|   \ (All x2)
D|-------|      D|-------|      D|------------|  /
A|-------|      A|-------|      A|------------| /
E|-------|      E|-------|      E|------------|/
 
Then comes the Solo.
 
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|--------------| x16
A|-3/4--1-1-----|
E|--------------|
 
And finally this part like the Chorus... (I use the same chords)
 
 
[Outro]
 
 Eb                             Gm            Bb    F    Main riff
So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
 Eb                       Gm           Bb         F     Main riff
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
 Eb                     Gm            Bb     F      Main riff
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Eb                Gm         Bb      F
Nothing's really making any sense at all,
Eb    F      Gm          Eb    F     Gm
 Main riff (Part 2)      Main riff (Part 2)
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk, let's talk

The last part of the intro can be played by switching the two 9's to 10's. Effectively, it's the same tab as epiphonist, but I find that easier to play.
