Hi everyone,
Pretty simple tab as it's just three chords.
There are a lot of pulloffs in this song as the chords are played so just do them
how you feel.
They occur mainly on the A and D chords (Though I swear that I hear them on the Bm
too) and generally go..
[D] [A]
|--2--3--2--| |--0--0--0--|
|--3--3--3--| |--2--3--2--|
|--2--2--2--| |--2--2--2--|
|--0--0--0--| |--2--2--2--|
|-----------| |--0--0--0--|
|-----------| |-----------|
There is also often a little run up from A to Bm:
|--0------2--|
|--2------3--|
|--2------4--|
|--2------4--|
|--0--0-1-2--|

Intro
[D] [A] [Bm] [A]
Where [D]crybabies cry
In the United States
Bright [A]white on both sides
Like a plate
[Bm]Nobody listens
Nobody should
[A]It'd be a waste of attention
[D]Not enough money
To buy a PC
So I'll [A]come in this weekend
Asleep on my feet
And [Bm]if I forget you
I'll have nobody [A]left to forget
I guess that's what assholes [D]get
[A]Traded my day light
For a car[Bm]eer[A]
But [D]I need you to dis[A]prove
My theory of [Bm]the crows[A]
[D]Pouring my fingers across the keys
Will [A]someone review my salary please?
I'm [Bm]selling my time to the man who sells style
That[A] time should be mine to waste on you
[D]I'll suck off investors
I'll suck off VCs
I'm[A] losing my posture from time on my knees
They [Bm]treat me so well
Cause I'll do anything
[A]It's in my nature of service
[D]But I'll need you to dis[A]prove
My theory of [Bm]the crows[A]
[D]Kids of the wealthy are raised by the poor
You send [A]daughters to Los Angelos and New York
I [Bm]need mine to see me
When I wake up
I [A]need mine to know
That I'm what they come to[D]
That I'm what they [A]come to
That I'm what they [Bm]come to
[A] [D]
That I'm what they [A]come to
[Bm] [A]
When they come [D]home
