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 



     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

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 



     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 
    G                  F     C                Em    Riff A
Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun 
    G               F     C                    Em   Riff B
Raining its guiding light upon everyone 


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|-------------------|-------------------------|
B|-------------------|------------4------------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4-----------4------|
D|--3----------------|----4----4-----4-----4---|
A|--3------------3---|-2-----------------------|
E|--1----------------|-------------------------| (2x)

Then 3:08:

e|-------------------|---------------------------|
B|-------------------|---------------------------|
G|-----0h2-0---------|------4---------4----------|
D|--3----------------|----4--------4-------------|
A|--3------------3---|-2--------0----------------|
E|--1----------------|---------------------------|

e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|---------4-----------4---|
D|------4----------4-------|
A|-------------------------|
E|--3----------2-----------|

|------------------------|------------------2--------------|
|---------------------3--|------------------0--------------|
|------------------2-----|------------------2--------------|
|--------2------0--------|---2--------------1---2---4---5--|
|-----2------------------|---3---0---1---2-----------------|
|--0---------------------|---------------------------------|


Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17):


     B7           G         Em            D           C          B7 

e|---2-------------------|---0---0-0------------------------------|
B|---0-------------------|---0---0-0-----3-3-3--------------------|
G|---2-------------------|---0---0-0-----2-2-2--------------2-----|
D|---1----2--4------5----|---2---2-2-----0-0-0-----2--------1-----|
A|---2-------------------|---2---2-2---------------3--0--1--2-----|
E|-----------------------|---0------------------------------------|


And the last chord progression (3:40) is:

B7     B7/A     B7/G     B7/F#     Em     D     C     B7
