This tab is based on the Acoustic performance by Kevin Devine found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJEuksQeyQE He has his Capo on the 5th fret, but he must've had his guitar dropped half a step since Capo 4 sounds right. I'm not 100% on the transition between Chorus and Verse. Please feel free to add a correction to it. Enjoy! [Intro] Strum muted strings 4 times, then go right into the 1st Verse. [Verse] Am F The Future was a Plane through a skylight C Em Over Tribeca at 8:45 Am F My brother, at a conference room table C Em Watched the future rearrange all our lives. [Pre-Chorus] F C F C I was sleeping in her bed for the future F C G C 1st & 20th, five miles away F C F C Her roommate knocked, he was a relative stranger F C G Em "Kev, I need you to come out here, okay?" "Okay." [Verse] Am F The future was me, drunk at my desk job: C Em "Update the database, reflect the deceased." Am F Cantor Fitzgerald as a digital graveyard C Em Next to each name, I typed a lowercase "d" [Pre-Chorus] F C F C I was frightened by the face of the future F C G C It had the teeth of perpetual war F C F C I called my father, he said, "I know, I see it. F C G Em I thought it made sense. I don't anymore." [Chorus] C Am F The mosque on my corner C Am G The firetrucks everywhere C Am F The anger, The mourners C Am G No History, it's dead in the air [Interlude] D G C F [Verse] Am F The future was an ad during football: C Em "We are supported by the will of the world." Am F From the floor, I felt everything tilting C Em I watched my brother hold his 10 month old girl [Pre-Chorus] F C F C Fifteen years later, and we're still in the future F C G C The blood and money don't fix anything F C F C We've grown accustomed to the depths of the danger F C G Em This is the future: severe and always happening [Chorus] C Am F The mosque on my corner C Am G The firetrucks everywhere C Am F The anger, The mourners C Am G No History, it's dead in the air [Outro] C Am G No History, it's dead in the air D G C F Am
