The Moment
Toad The Wet Sprocket
(From the CD New Constellation to be released Oct 2013)
 
Capo: 1
 
Em              D
Shame doesn't become you
          Bm                 C
There are no mistakes in the final view
   Em                  D
No blame, how could it be so wrong
          Bm                         C
That your heart was braver than your will was strong
 
    C                              D
For every path you follow there's another left behind
      Bm                                 Em
Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
        C                                   D
And for everything you taught me here's the one I learned the best
         Bm                               Em
There is nothin' but the moment don't you waste it on regret
 
 
| Em | Em | D | D | Bm | Bm | C | C |
 
     Em                   D
I'll go, but who will you have to be?
         Bm                 C
Will you just get by or get what you need?
     Em                D
Just know that I don't need to fit in
         Bm                   C
Is there room for you in your life with him?
 
    C                              D
For every path you follow there's another left behind
      Bm                                 Em  (with bass walkup)
Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
    C                                   D
For everything you taught me here's the one I learned the best
         Bm                               Em   (with bass walkup)
There is nothin' but the moment don't you waste it on regret
 
D                C                Em    | Em |
. It's out of my hands, out of my hands

. But I miss my friend, I miss my friend
Bm               C              Bm     C         |Em  |
. So this is the price of honesty, but I'm not sorry
 
| Em | D | D | Bm | Bm | C | C         |Em    |

For every path you follow there's another left behind

Every door you don't kick open there's a million more to try
    C                                   D
For everything you taught me here's the one I learned the best

This is good, thank you. A couple of comments from observing the live performance at Atlantic City on Youtube: Glenn has the capo on the second fret, but the tonality according to Riffstation is standard tuning. So I assume the Tele is tuned down a whole step and capo'd up to the second (which brings it to standard) for this song. And for the verses he is playing triads or maybe four note versions of these chords in this order:(frets relative to capo) Em (Am shape) at the 7th fret, Bm (barre across 4 high strings) at the 7th fret, D (A shape) at the 5th fret and C (A shape) at the 3rd fret. So the Bm and D are in the reverse order to this tab. Their tonalities are so close that it almost doesn't matter. Even with open (cowboy) chords it doesn't matter. Riffstation also sees it (for this recording) as Em Bm D C.
