I just listened to the song a little and this is what i came up with. It might not
be the exact way he plays it but it sounds good enough. Note that the C is just a
little variation of the C chord where you let go with the finger that's pushing
down the D-string (in most cases the middle finger). So whenever the C shows up
just switch between the regular C (X32010) and the C (X30010). This might sound
confusing but it's really easy. You'll get it ;)
INTRO:
C C/C/C
F, Em, G,
F, Em, G,
[C]
[C]Slid right through the turnstile and [Am]off the [G]loft we [F]went,
We were t[C]aken in by strangers, called [F]out by coil and [G]kin.
Oh [C]concentrate on as [Am]far back as [G]you can [F]go,
When we would [C]put a bullet in its
belfry to [F]prove it's all a [G]hoax,
So what we [C]don't impress the fireworks
with the [Am]strumming o[G]f our [F]smiles
But you can [C]look up how high heaven is
and [F]try to count the [G]miles,
Keeps us [F]busy for aw[G]hile.[(C)]
(play the intro once or twice inbetween the verses)
[C]Said the cradle to the kick drum that [Am]life b[G]egins a[F]gain,
Smoke [C]butts like spent bullets
Street [F]sweepers home to s[G]leep again
And when he [C]put his arms around me his
[Am]hoodie sm[G]elled like [F]gasoline,
[C]So here's to all lost fragrances,
To a [F]future with some [G]balance,
To a [F]future without ju[G]dgment,
To a [F]future with my [G] family[C]
To a [F]future without an[G]ger,
To a [F]fate of more than [G]damaged fits,
To a [F]future worth re.[G]..memberi[C]ng.
(you can end with the intro and end on C or just invent your own ending)
