This is my first attempt at transcribing a song. I hope you like it.
Intro:
(In the acoustic version Bixler plays the Cm as major and only strums the top four
strings. You can do the same if you like.)
[Cm/G] [Eb/Bb] [Bb] [Ab]
Verse:
[Cm/G] Step on the t[Eb/Bb]racks
[Bb] Feel you're a[Ab]live
[Cm/G] It's not any [Eb/Bb]worse
[Bb] Closer in tim[Ab]e
Chorus: (all G's in this song are barres.)
It's like a [Eb/Bb]Per --- [Bb]fect picture of
[F/C] Ordinary [Ab]life
You hit the [Eb/Bb]bot --- [Bb]tom
[F/C] To see if you're al[Ab]ive
[G] You'll be here some[Ab] time
[G] Traces in your [Ab]eyes
Verse (as above):
Bending backwards to look behind
Pushing forward, killing in time
You thought it would change in time
You thought it would change your mind
You thought you'd be first in line
You thought it would change your life
Chorus (as above):
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive
You'll be here some time
Traces in your eyes
Bridge/Refrain:
(The strumming pattern changes here so listen to the record to get it down. This
can be played many ways, the acoustic version is nothing like this.)
[Cm/G] [Eb/Bb] [Bb]
[Ab]You'll be better off not wasting yo[Cm/G]ur time[Eb/Bb][Bb]
[Ab]A sentimental heart is always last in [Cm/G]line[Eb/Bb][Bb]
Ab G(barre) Bb
A sentimental heart is always last in line
Chorus (as above):
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive
It's like a [Eb/Bb]Per --- [Bb]fect picture of
[F/C] Ordinary [Ab]life
You hit the [Eb/Bb]bot --- [Bb]tom
[F/C] To see if you're [Ab]alive
[F/C] To see if you're [Ab]alive
Outro:
[Cm/G] [Eb/Bb] [F/C] [Ab]
[F/C] [Ab] [G] [Cm/G]
