True to Umphrey's McGee, this song is a little complicated. You'll have to listen to the song and play through this tab for it to help, and to see where the turnarounds happen. There are some passing chords in the tune that I've omitted- I wanted this to be a solid rhythm tab that'll give you the basic gist of the tune.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Eb F Eb F
 
[Verse]
Eb                      F
  I'm still not able to understand
Eb                         F
  I'm struggling here to deny it
Eb                      F
  For if I knew this was all we had
Eb                        F
  I wouldn't have said goodbye then
 
[Chorus]
Eb                     F
  It's only water, no spirit broken
Eb                                   F
  And all these things we've held on left unspoken
Eb                              F              Gm
  Still the thought's enough to make me choke again

[Bridge]
Bb      A          F            D
I had a friend who couldn't sit still
              Bb     A       F       D
He'd think until his hands began to spill things
Bb    A       F       D
Every morning he woke up
    Bb    A            F     D
And never thought he'd done enough the night before
 
[Bridge 2]
        Am7     G         Bb             D
And its hard to break the habits that we make
              Eb                   F                G     D
But don't you know that life could take it from you anyway
          Am       G        Bb                D
If I could say it again I'd make you remember when
        Eb                    F             Gm       D
All the things we shared were unimpaired by anything

[Verse]
Eb                            F
  The feeling's not weathered out just yet
Eb                           F
  There's no real way to describe it
Eb                       F
  In thinking of all the plans unmet
Eb                           F
  We've all been hardened to hide it
 
[Chorus]
Eb                     F
  It's only water, no spirit broken
Eb                                   F
  And all these things we've held on left unspoken
Eb                              F              Gm
  Still the thought's enough to make me choke again
