from his album Rhythm & Repose
CAPO 4TH
Not sure if this is the exact way Mr. Hansard plays it (though I've seen him do it live
and he does capo it on the 4th fret and there are definitely some variations of all the
chords used here) but it's pretty darn close.
Sorry the spacing of the chords to match where they fall with the lyrics isn't accurate,
you'll have to listen along with the song to figure that out (if you don't already know
it well enough to just do it). The way the tab editor is makes it all weird when you
space stuff out.

(1/T means that string being played can be accomplished by barring the entire 1st fret
with your 1st finger or by wrapping your thumb around the neck to hold that low E string)

(Verse 1)
CGC
Even if a day feels too long
CGC
You feel like you can't wait another one
CGF
And you're slowly giving up on everything
GAm
Love is gonna find you again
GAm
Love is gonna find you, you better be ready then

CGC
Well you been kneeling in the dark for far too long
CGC
You've been waiting for that spark but it hasn't come
CGF
I'm calling to you please get off the floor
GAm
A good heart will find you again
GAm
A good heart will find you, just be ready then
(Chorus)
F
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
F
A voice that's buried in the hollow
C
You've given over to self-deceiving
G
You're prostrate bound but not believing
Am
You've squandered more than you could borrow
FG
You bet your joys on all tomorrow
C
And for the hope of some returning
GAm
While everything around you is burning
(Verse 2)
CGC
Come on we gotta get out, get out of this mess we've made
CGC
And still for all our talk we're both so afraid
CGF
But will we leave this up to chance like we do everything
GAm
Love is gonna find us again
GAm
Love is gonna find us, you gotta be ready then
(Chorus)
F
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
F

You bet your joys on all tomorrow
