Tabbed by: Jonathan

Tuning: Standard
Key: C
Notes: Strum patterns are indicated only in a few instances.
This tab is written for a single guitar, though there is some

electric guitar in the song.

Main chords used (I have shortened the chord names):

F F/E G A B
e|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|
B|--1--|--1--|--3--|--5--|--0--|
G|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--x--|
D|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--9--|
A|--3--|--3--|--5--|--7--|--9--|
E|--1--|--0--|--3--|--5--|--7--|

Intro:

F G A G (x4)

F F/E A G (x2)

Note: I think the strum pattern here is: V V V^V | ^ ^V^ ^V^
Hence, for F/E and G, the first strum is an up-strum

Verse 1:

F F/E A G
And all these distant faded memories of everything I used to be
F F/E A G
Are bringing me down; yeah, they're bringing me down
F F/E A G
And the leading cause of death I plead is from my insecurity
F F/E A G
And it's bringing me down; yeah, it's bringing me down

Chorus:

F F/E A G
Down........
F F/E A G
Down........

Post-chorus:

F G A G
Note: The strum pattern for the second half is V^ ^ ^V | ^ ^V V^
F F/E A G

Verse 2:

F G A G
Yeah, hope is all I really need to wash my selfishness and greed
F F/E A G
But there's no hope to be found; no, I've looked all around
F G A G
And if this life that I've led only leads to tears in bed
F F/E A G
Then I won't hang around; no, I won't hang around

Repeat chorus twice

Bridge:

Play the following riff twice:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----1------1------3------3-----5-------5-------3-------3-----|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
A|-3------3------5------5------7------7-------5-------5---------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Note: Now, one guitar plays the chords below, while the other continues playing the riff
You can play the chords here as power chords, if you wish.

F G A G
Now I've come to conclusions that I'm empty
F G A B
I thought I still had everything in me


Repeat verse 1, except last line is:

And it's bringing me down; Down...

End on G
