Capo 3, chord names relative to capo.
 
I like to keep an F bass note (fretted with the thumb) on all the chords except G. In
I play the G and F a little differently than normal. This is how I play all the chords,
I prefer the sound:
 
Am- 102210
C-  132010
F-  133210
G-  355430

Am
You may tire of me
C
As our December sun is setting
F                     G
Because I'm not who I used to be
Am
No longer easy on the eyes
C                                 F
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
                   G
The youthful boy below
 
Who turned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end
But now he lives inside
Someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident
 
On the back of a motorbike
With your arms outstretched, trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed
We couldn't break from the concrete
And the city where we still reside
 
And I have learned
That even landlocked lovers yearn
For the sea like navy men
Because now we say goodnight
From our own seperate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
 
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
Because I'm not who I used to be

This is a good tab, as good as it gets, unless you completely tab out the piano for guitar. which is ridiculously hard. This is a good, very basic, version of the song.
