This song is in standard tuning, in the key of E major. Great song,
best on the new Lights and Sounds album, in my opinion.

Intro: E5, A5, B5, E5
I could [E5]tell you the [A5]wildest of tales
[B5]My friend the giant and [E5]traveling sales
[E5]Tell you all the [A5]times that I failed
The [B5]years all behind me
The [E5]stories excelled.
And [C#m7]I'm drying [E]out
Crying [Bsus]out
This [Asus]isn't how I [E]go
Repeat intro.
I could [E5]tell you of a [A5]man not so tall
Who [B5]said life's a circus and [E5]so we are small
[E5]Tell you of a [A5]girl that I saw
[B5]I froze in the moment and [#5]she changed it all
And [C#m7]I'm drying [E]out
Crying [Bsus]out
This [Asus]isn't how I [C#m7]go
Hurry [E]now
Lay me [Bsus]down
And [Asus]let these waters [Bsus]flow
C#m7 Asus(x2)
Flow, ooo
[Bsus]Flow,
C#m7 Asus(x2)
Flow, ooo
[C#m7]Son I am not [Bsus]everything you [Asus]thought that I would [E]be
C#m7 Bsus Asus(x2)
But every story I have told is part of me
And you [E5]keep the [A5]air in my lungs
[B5]Floating along as a [E5]melody comes
And my [E5]heart beats like [A5]timpani drums
[B5]Keeping the time while a [E5]symphony strums
And [C#m7]I'm drying [E]out
Crying [Bsus]out
This [Asus]isn't how I [C#m7]go
Hurry [E]now
Lay me [Bsus]down
And [Asus]let these waters [Bsus]flow
C#m7 Asus(x2)
Whoa, whoa...
[Bsus]Flow,
C#m7 Asus(x2)
Whoa, whoa...
[Bsus]Let it flow, [C#m7]whoa, [Asus]whoa
[Bsus]Let it flow, [C#m7]whoa, [Asus]whoa
[C#m7]Son I am not [Bsus]everything you [Asus]thought that I would [E]be
C#m7 Bsus Asus(x2)
But every story I have told is part of me
[C#m7]Son I leave you [Bsus]now but you have [Asus]so much more to [E]do
[C#m7]And every story [Bsus]I have told is [Asus]part of yo[Bsus]u[E]
Outro: E5, B5, C#m7, Asus, E
So, this is a basic idea of it. Of course, it's just by ear, so have fun with it,
fix up parts you think are different.
