Again, like the person before me, I looked at the other tabs for this song and am
offering some perfectionist improvements, as this song can sound amazing and
professional if you add in some other parts.
I worked from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg0UsO5SFb8
Standard tuning, no capo. Is in 6/4 time.

Intro - strums dead notes, listen to the song for the right rhythm
Verse 1:
b-----1-----------
Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
The most familiar room
B7B7+5 EmEm7/D
Every implement was leading to you
CC/BC/AG
And your homely sense of dissaray
G7 b----0--------
Never once the same g--2---2--0---
CC/BAm
Always rearranged
Am7/GAm6/F#
But things would never change
B7B7+5 EmEm7/D
In the scene between the window frame
CC/BC/AG
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
G7 (strum once, let ring) C(strum once, let ring)
Where they tied you to a pole
G
And stripped you of your clothes
Chorus:
(G) CBm
I was a dreamer
EmAmBm
Staring out windows
GCBm
Out onto the main street
EmAmBm
Cause that's where the dream goes
Verse 2:
b-----1-----------
Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
B7B7+5 EmEm7/D
I would turn away and return to you
CC/BC/AG
You would offer me your unmade bed
G7 b----0--------
Feed me till I'm fed g--2---2--0---
CC/BAm
And read me till I'm read
Am/GAm6/F#
But when the morning came
B7B7+5 EmEm7/D
You would catch me at the window again
CC/BC/AG
In an eyes wide open sleeping state
G7(strum once, let ring) C (strum once, let ring)
Staring into space
G
With no look upon my face
Chorus:
(G) CBm
I was a dreamer
EmAmBm
Staring out windows
GCBm
Out onto the main street
EmAmBm
Cause that's where the dream goes
Bridge:
CC/B
And when I got older
AmAm/G
When I grew bolder
F G (Bass notes A then B on beats 5 and 6)
Out onto the streets I flew
AmAm/B
Released from your shackles
C (bass notes D then E)
I danced with the Jackals
FEm
And learned a new way to move
Verse 3:
Am (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
So before you take this song as truth
B7 (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
You should wonder what I'm taking from you
C (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
How I benefit from you being here
G7(let ring) C
Lending me your ears
G
While I'm selling you my fears
(G) CBm
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
EmAmBm
Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears)
GCBm
Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
EmAmBm
Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
GCBm
I was a dreamer
EmAmBm
Staring out windows
GCBm
Out onto the main street
Em Am Bm (let ring)
Cause that's where the dream goes
I hope thats helpful and not too complicated - it's quite hard to describe some of
it, so listen to the song and perhaps you can work out what i meant!!
