Waste Of Paint Tabs

(ver. 2)
Bright Eyes
i watched conor play this the other night from the front row, so I know it's correct.

FIRST PART (intro, first part of verse)
it's just C and F, but lift your index finger off for a beat during the F. play it 
between vocal lines.

i have a friend, he's mostly made of pain
he wakes up, drives to work then straight back home again
he once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
i thought it was beautiful so i put it on a record cover

e|--0---0-0--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
B|--1---1-1--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
G|--0---0-0--2-2-2---2-2-0----|
D|--2---2-2--3-3-3---3-3------|
A|--3---3-3-------------------|
E|----------------------------|


SECOND PART (last two lines of verse)
it's G, C and F, but he only played the low part of the G.

and i tried to tell him that he had a sense
of color and composition so magnificent

e|---------0---0-0--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
B|---------1---1-1--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
G|---------0---0-0--2-2-2---2-2-0----|
D|-0-0-0-0-2---2-2--3-3-3---3-3------|
A|-2-2-2-2-3---3-3-------------------|
E|-3-3-3-3---------------------------|


THIRD PART (chorus)
it's alternating F and G. once again, he only played the low end of the G.

and he said, thank you, please
but you're flattery is truly not becoming me
your eyes are poor, you're blind, you see,
no beauty could have come from me

e|-1-1-----1-1-------|
B|-1-1-----1-1-------|
G|-2-2-----2-2-------|
D|-3-3-0-0-3-3-0-0---|
A|-----2-2-----2-2---|
E|-----3-3-----3-3---|


FOURTH PART (post-chorus)
back to the first part, really loud, after the 'i'm a waste' line.

i'm a waste
of breath
of space
of time

e|--0---0-0--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
B|--1---1-1--1-1-0---1-1-0----|
G|--0---0-0--2-2-2---2-2-0----|
D|--2---2-2--3-3-3---3-3------|
A|--3---3-3-------------------|
E|----------------------------|
