Things to consider: When Boeckner plays just the chords, I don’t really know how 
he voices them, it’s too hard to hear.  The intro is actually the keyboard part 
but I like it so I tabbed it anyway.  The song is basically in 12/8; each little 
dash/space is an 8th note, and each beat is made up of 3 dashes.  It’s written to 
be exactly on beat, so you don’t have to struggle as much to figure out the 
timing.


Intro:

Then just the chords...the first time through, the accents are on the 2nd and 4th 
beats but he’s still letting stuff ring some (though it sounds a little 
choppy)...the second time, he slams the chord on the 2nd and 4th beats and mutes 
the space in between:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
                                                   > x2
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Pre-chorus:

F           Am          F           E

------3-----------7-----------3-----------------|
---------1-----------5-----------1--------0--3--|
---2-----------5-----------2-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|

F           C           Am          E

------3--------------7--------5-----------------|
---------1--------8--------------3--------0--3--|
---2-----------9-----------3-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|



Chorus (the chords are based roughly on the bass line):

C           G           Dm    Am    F
      LR---|  LR------|                      LR w/ next
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------|  > x8
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|


Then back to the chords, play them like the first time:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
                                                   > x5
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Outro:

LR---|  LR------|  
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------|  > x2
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|

2nd repeat slows down at the end
