Perffect Blue Buildings Tabs

(ver. 1)
Counting Crows
Yet another top song from Counting Crows, so i hope this tab helps
people to play it.  Be sure to note one thing though: In the verses,
if the words stop on the Bb chord, then stay on Bb, and don't play
Am.  Otherwise play the Am chord.  Enjoy!

Dm            C                Bb     Am
Just down the street from your hotel, baby
Dm        C              Bb
I stay at home with my disease
Dm             C          Bb      Am
And ain't this position familiar, darling
Dm                C            Bb
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Gm                        Bb
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who'll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

CHORUS:
    F         C            Gm
    Asleep in perfect blue buildings
    F          C           Gm
    Beside the green apple sea
    F              C       Gm       Bb
    Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
    F             C     Bb        1.| Dm     2.|              F
    Try to keep myself away from    | me       | (myself and) me
                                    |          |

It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday
It doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle
of these lives which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

(CHORUS)

INSTRUMENTAL:
F           C           Gm           Bb      
F           C           Gm           Bb      

I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
There's a skeleton in every man's house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There's a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...

(CHORUS) x3
