[Verse]
 
        Bm      A        G         Em
I think I'll go home and mull this over
         D       A       G
before I cram it down my throat
        Bm        A              G      Em
at long last it's crashed, its colossal mass
           D       A          G
has broken up into bits in my moat
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em*      D*       Em*     D*
lift the mattress off the floor
Em*      D*
walk the cramps off
   A*             G*
go meander in the cold
Em*          D*
hail to your dark skin
Em*        D*
hiding the fact you're dead again
Em*  D*               A*           G*
underneath the power lines seeking shade
G*
far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
 
 
[Verse]
 
       Bm       A      G         Em
it's a luscious mix of words and tricks
            D            A              G
that let us bet when you know we should fold
   Bm      A         G          Em
on rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
           D             A               G
and of the whole mess of roads we're now on
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em*       D*        Em*     D*
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em*     D*                  A*              G*
never betray the way you've always known it is
Em*     D*                Em*
one day I'll be wondering how
         D*                 Em*
I got so old just wondering how
        D*               A*             G*
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
 
G*
this is way beyond my remote concern
of being condescending
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm  A     G    F#m  Em    F#m   G
all these squawking birds won't quit
Bm  A    G F#m    Em F#m G
building nothing, laying bricks
 
 
[W/ Organ Solo]
 
Bm  A   G   Em   D   A   G   x2
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em*       D*        Em*     D*
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em*     D*                  A*              G*
never betray the way you've always known it is
Em*     D*                Em*
one day I'll be wondering how
         D*                 Em*
I got so old just wondering how
        D*               A*             G*
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
 
G*
this is way beyond my remote concern
of being condescending
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm  A     G    F#m  Em    F#m   G
all these squawking birds won't quit
Bm  A    G F#m    Em F#m G
building nothing, laying bricks

for the part that goes, "all these squawking birds won't quit, building nothing laying bricks", it's the same chords as the verse, Bm A G Em. other than that, great tab, the shins are indeed awesome.

^just cause the band plays it in barre chords doesnt mean it cant be played in open chords. you can make the exact same barre chord into an open chord and it sounds the same
