This is my first attempt at transcribing a song. I hope you like it.
The chord names are fucked up.
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 Eb/ Bb Ab
Verse:
Cm Eb
Step on the tracks
Bb Ab
Feel you're alive
Cm Eb
It's not any worse
Bb Ab
Closer in time
Chorus: (all G's in this song are barres.)
Eb Bb
It's like a Per --- fect picture of
F/C Ab
Ordinary life
Eb Bb
You hit the bot --- tom
F/C Ab
To see if you're alive
G Ab
You'll be here some time
G Ab
Traces in your eyes

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

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.)
