A       B         E5    B       A
Hold me up in the palm of your hand
A        B        E5  B     A
Lying to you is a river of sin
A                     B
Your metaphores, your silent calls
     E5        B       A
Your feelings are too real
A                B
Let them spew, a fall from grace
      E5     B    A
Would do us good today
 
A             B          E5    B  A
I'll lift you up, we can love or cry
A        B             E5        B   A
Hey, I'm in love, I'll take you up again
A   A
Ah, Ah...
 
A           B        E5      B      A
All that to you in a church by the sea
      A         B
We're late, but not in the same way
      E5 B   A
We're older today
 
A             B          E5    B  A
I'll lift you up, we can love or cry

Hey, I'm in love, I'll take you up again
A                       B              E5 B  A
Your eyes have too many colours, I can only try
A                    B
Your energy could be runnin' low, now
E5     B  A
Juice is dry
A   A    A5
Ah, Ah...hey

Images we cannot leave be......hind

Like two riversides we roll back
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey Bro, Nice tab & its close enough to get away with but its actually played & recorded in Eb with major barre chords played unbarred. The first chord is an A major on the 5th fret with the bottom 2 strings open, Second chord is a B major, 7th fret, bottom 2 strings open, Third chord is an E5, 7th fret with the bottom 2 strings open etc. The bridge is a C#m Open, D5 open, 7th Fret B Open. The solo starts on F#5, A5 (× 3), C5, B5, then F#5, A5, F#5, A5, F#5. I'd submit a tab myself but haven't figured out how to yet but if you want to play it without going through the hassle of down tuning to E Flat, yours will do perfectly. Cheers Mate. 👍👍

It's 2nd Fret

Pretty sure originally it’s tuned 1/2 step down. Listen to the recording, the chords go up, way down, back up, and down to the original. Can’t do that with this tuning.
