Artist: Conor Oberst Song: Tachycardia Album: Ruminations BPM: 148 Tabbed by: aaron_wacker [Introduction] C C C C C (last being loudest) [Verse 1] C Em It's a mass grave Dm C A dollar-fifty resting place C Em On the north face Dm G It's a rope I've gotta climb Am G F Em I'm a stone's throw from everyone I love and know Am Em F G But I can't show up looking like I do C Em Dm C In an old suit my hair is slicked up back nice and smooth C Em Dm G In a courtroom, sweat rolling down my back Am G F Em It's a bad dream. I have it seven times a week Am G F Em No it's not me. But I'm the one who has to die [Instrumental] Em Dm C C (harmonica) Em Dm G Am (harmonica) G F F G G (harmonica) [Verse 2] C Em Dm C Needs a cold draw to slow his tachycardia C Em Dm G In a dark bar the world just melts away Am G F Em And he feels fine If he can just lose track of time Am Em F G It's a good sign when he can't stay awake C Em Dm C On a slow day the rain against the windowpane C Em Dm G of the cafe She spills the coffee grounds Am G F Em And the same thought hits her like cinder block Am Em F G C Life's an odd job that she don't got the nerve to quit [Instrumental 2] C Em Dm C (harmonica and piano) C Em Dm G (harmonica and piano) Am G F F (harmonica and piano) G G [Verse 3] C Em Yeah it's just there Dm G C At the bottom of those spiral stairs C Em Dm It's the World's Fair G C The future's on display A G In the still night F Em They turned on the electric lights Am Em And the crowd cried out F G C Everyone looks so amazed [Instrumental 3] C F F C (harmonica and piano) C G G Am (harmonica and piano) G F F Em (harmonica and piano) Em (harmonica fade)
