[Intro]
 
Em7    Em6/9    Em    Em(M9)
 
(mostly plucking just pluck the strings in the chord and you'll be able to figure it out)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em7         G7
I’m writing you to
Cadd9             B7             Em7
Catch you up on places I’ve been
Em7              G7
You held this letter
Cadd9          B7                   Em7
Probably got excited, but there’s nothing else inside it
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
              C    G  D  C      F
Didn’t have a camera by my side this time
               C    G    D    C       F
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
               C    G   D  C F
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m
Em              D
In the mood to lose my way with words
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Em7    Em6/9    Em    Em(M9)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em7    G7                Cadd9         B7              Em7
Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy’s cliche’
Em7               G                     Cadd9           B7
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Em7
Are next to mountains anyway
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
              C    G  D  C      F
Didn’t have a camera by my side this time
               C    G    D    C      F
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
               C    G   D  C F
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m
Em             F               D7
In the mood to lose my way but let me say
 
 
[Bridge]
 
      G          G13          Am7               Cm6(M7)
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
     G          G13     Am7   Cm6(M7)
It brought me back to life
  G         G13          Am7       Cm6(M7)
You’ll be with me next time I go outside
G       G13  Am7    Cm6(M7)
No more 3x5’s
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Em7    Em6/9    Em     Em(M9)
 
  Em7   D/F# G   D/B Am7     B7
I guess you  had to  be there
  Em7   D/F# G   D/B Am7     B7
I guess you  had to  be with me
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C     G  D    C     F
Today I finally overcame
                     C   G   D C     F
Tryin’ to fit the world inside a picture frame
               C   G    D  C   F           Em
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m in the mood to
F               D7
Lose my way but let me say
 
 
[Bridge]
 
        G        G13          Am7               Cm6(M7)
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
      G         G13       Am7     Cm6(M7)
It brought me back to life
    G       G13          Am7       Cm6(M7)
You’ll be with me next time I go outside
G     G13  Am7  Cm6(M7)
No more 3x5’s
G          G13    Am7     Cm6(M7)
Just no more 3x5’s

Surely it's an F instead of an F# in the chorus?

+17

this tabs intro is wrong, if u listen carefully u can hear the guitar pt is going up the whole time 1st 2nd 3rd (and the 4th chord resolves the 3rd) |0--0--0-0| |3--5--8-7| |0--0--0-0| |0--5--7-7| |2--4--7-6| |0--0--0-0| the gut who did the power tab is rt, i knew this one and the others were off. its a good cover, but the wrong copy of the songs right chords

The "F" at the end of the first three lines should be an FM9, played with the following phrasing: 103010 There're lots of missing chords. This suffices for a simplified version, but the original is beautiful for its eloquent twists of chord voicings and progression.
