Backwater - Meat Puppets
E F#
And when I wake up in the morning
C E
To feel the daybreak on my face
E F#
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
C E
With a knife to open up the sky's veins
E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
E F#
And when I shoulda' been done a long time
C E
Laughs...and says I find ways
E F#
Just when we're sheltered under paper
C E
The rockets come at us sideways
E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
F G
A E
Hey...I'm blind
C D
Good...fine
A E
Roll the time
C D
On whose dime?
[Solo]
E C#m C D
E F#
And when I wake up in the morning
C E
To feel the daybreak on my face
E F#
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
C E
With a knife to open up the sky's veins
E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
[Outro Solo]

This is actually my tab...I'm new so I goofed when posting, but I worked really hard to get the chords right, especially on the bridge...every other version I've found on this and other sites sounded "off" to me. I hope this helps folks. :)

I would just suggest putting the chords through the whole song. Some folks are just playing around with friends and aren't looking to learn the song and just want the chords to be in the whole song.

In addition to changing the D to a Dsus2, you could try using an F#7 instead of the F#. I think it's a D#7, but the on-line chord machines don't agree with me or each other, but it's X44320. I play it acoustic with a root E, so I kind of like the sound of the open high E on the F# string coming after the open high E of the open E.
