First time tabbing/chording out a song.
Alkaline198's chords are mostly right, but he's missing a lot in the chorus.
Intro:
E B (x3)
C#m A
Verse 1:
E Abm C#m
I remember a rooftop, making out
A E
Downstairs the coppers screamed so loud
Abm C#m
I'd waited so long for that night
A
Then I just turned away
Pre-Chorus 1:
B C#m A
And I know every street on the West-Side
E B A
But I was lost, unfound, not right
E B A
Maybe there's something wrong inside
Verse 2:
E Abm C#m
Now I've got nowhere to go
A E
My hands is all that I've got
Abm C#m
I'm so sorry for so many things
A B
That I haven't said yet
Pre-Chorus 2:
C#m A E
This is the waiting-room I spend my whole life in
B A
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins
E B A
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in
Chorus:
E B A
I lost my life on the first try
Ab*
You found it miles down the line
A E B
A swollen face with three first names
E B A
You kissed the taste back in my tongue
Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
A E B
And then we slept for days and days and days
E C#m A E C#m A
When we woke up, my heart all choked up
C#m B E A
Had to say "I love you" way too soon
E B A
But right there on your couch you loved me too
E B A
Right there on your couch you loved me too
Bridge:
E B (x3)
C#m A
Verse 3:
E Abm C#m
Nineteen and sober once or twice
A E
I caught some junkie's bad advice
Abm C#m
Up to my eyes in others' problems
A B
Couldn't see, I'd never solve them
Pre-Chorus 3:
C#m A E
I'm only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown
B A
I took my lousy shot at public recognition
E B A
Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking
Chorus:
E B A
I lost my life on the first try
Ab*
You found it miles down the line
A E B
A swollen face with three first names
E B A
You kissed the taste back in my tongue
Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
A E B
And then we slept for days and days and days
E C#m A E C#m A
When we woke up, my heart all choked up
C#m B E A
Had to say "I love you" way too soon
E B A
But right there on your couch you loved me too
E B A
Right there on your couch you loved me too

*The Ab during the chorus is played by barring and A chord and adding the 4th fret of
the low E string (Ab)*
---
Sounds damn near perfect to me!
