INTRO: Em
VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Everybody cares, everybody understands
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
Yes everybody cares about you
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
To a pure synthetic sympathy
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
that infuriates you totally
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout
CHORUS:
G F C Em [Riff A]
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
G F C Em [Riff B]
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
After running upstairs again and again
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
From wherever they came to fix you in, but
Riff A:

VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
You've got a pretty vision in your head
F C B7 B7sus4 B7
A pencil full of poison lead
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
CHORUS:
G F C Em [Riff A]

BRIDGE:
C G
You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Cm D7 Em
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about
CODA:
My favorite part of the song. I'll tab out the main guitar part but there's a few
layers of guitar/keyboard so just jam out and mess around with a wah pedal or whatever if you can.
First chords are the same as verse:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Sweet guitar part at ~2:43
e|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|-------|
B|E|------------------|-|------------4------------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4-----------4------|
D|--3----------------|----4----4-----4-----4---|
A|--3------------3---|-2E|------------------|-----|
E|--1----------------|E|------------------|-------| x2
Then 3:08:
e|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|---------|
B|E|------------------|-|E|------------------|---------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4---------4----------|
D|--3----------------|----4--------4-------------|
A|--3------------3---|-2--------0----------------|
E|--1----------------|E|------------------|---------|
e|E|------------------|-------|
B|E|------------------|-------|
G|---------4-----------4---|
D|------4----------4-------|
A|E|------------------|-------|
E|--3----------2-----------|
e|E|------------------|------|E|------------------|2--------------|
B|E|------------------|---3--|E|------------------|0--------------|
G|E|------------------|2-----|E|------------------|2--------------|
D|--------2------0--------|---2--------------1---2---4---5--|
A|-----2E|------------------||---3---0---1---2-----------------|
E|--0E|------------------|---|E|------------------|---------------|
Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):
B7 G Em D C B7
e|---2E|------------------|-|---0---0-0E|------------------|------------|
B|---0E|------------------|-|---0---0-0-----3-3-3E|------------------|--|
