Tabbed by: djweeks13
One of my favorite Blind Pilot songs and I haven't found an accurate, complete tab, so here goes.

Capo V | All chords relative to capo
The | signifies the end of every two-bar phrase
C 032010
E* 032100 (E with the flat 6)

C E* F G C
Verse
C E*
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
Fmaj7
The way in some jet-lagged bar they're pouring the wine
CG
From over their heads then sit back down again
C E*
Four times is once too much for luck
Fmaj7
And that's how many times the clock struck
CG
I wandered home, saying your name

BC7
Verse
C E*
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
Fmaj7
The catedrals to make you feel small
CG
You might find your small soul
C E*
Leave the preaching to the president
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
Fmaj7
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
CG
So don't feed me more
Chorus
EFmaj7CG
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
EFmaj7CG
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
Bb7CG
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
Bb7C
I didn't know, I'm not invincible

C E* F G C
Verse
C E*
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
Fmaj7CG
But if you wanted to test that out, well, yeah, I guess you couldn't have said
C E*
But there were nights in bars that I recall
Fmaj7
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
CG
You leaned in and said
Chorus
EFmaj7G
"Make music with the chatter in here,
EFmaj7CG
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
Bb7CG
I didn't know, I didn't know the weight of my tongue
Bb7C
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

CFBC7
Verse
C E*
The lights here are softer than you'd think
Fmaj7
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
CG
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
C E*
But if my eyes were on my back
Fmaj7
I know what I'd be looking at
CG
Through every shade of brown and green
Outro
Bb7CG
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new
Bb7C
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
