This is "optimism" off of the Ten Years Older EP.  There's some weird
chords in here so there is a chord chart to help you out.  I looked up some
of the weirder chords in an online dictionary so it should be pretty close.
Enjoy!

INTRO
E - Emaj7 - C#m - A - F#m - B - E (Esus4)

VERSE 1
E            Emaj7
You, you don't belong
        C#m              A
In this prison-like hospital
      F#m        B
But I feel so responsible
      E               A
And I know you feel ashamed
     F#m              B                  E
Just show me what you started with, that blade

E                    Emaj7
Brought you some clean clothes
  C#m                      A
A calling card for the payphone
F#m             B
Magazines, headphones, CDs,
   E               A
To grant you a distraction
        F#m                 B                E
Cause I know there's no one here to take you home

PRECHORUS
E/G#
You'll be alright
Am(maj7)   Amaj7
My sound advice
     A?
Just hope you know
A barred
We are done
     B barred     RIFF
It's time to move on

CHORUS
E
Losing your voice in the crowded streets
C#m
Pulsing crunch of machinery
A barred
Oh so harsh frequency
       B barred
In the city that we love
   E        C#m       A barred   B barred
We love, we love, we love,      love

VERSE 2
E              Emaj7
Paint chipped and scr*ped
C#m                  A
Evidence of forced entry
F#m               B
Red with disgust, violated
  E             A
Remind me why I love
F#m            B           E
Living in this city I call home

PRECHORUS
E/G#             Am(maj7)
Passenger's side, left open wide
Amaj7           A?
Glass scattered about
A barred     B barred      RIFF
Broken along with my optimism

CHORUS
E
Losing your voice in the crowded streets
C#m
Pulsing crunch of machinery
A barred
Oh so harsh frequency
       B barred
In the city that we love
   E        C#m       A barred   B barred
We love, we love, we love,       love

ENDING
                     E
None of your schemes work on me
                  Emaj7
Smoke signals are jokes to see
                 C#m
The smell sticks to your clothes
              A
It's on everything I own
         F#m                         B                   ENDING RIFF
Like the rain that seeps through the cracks in my rubber soul 


There you go. If you have any trouble,then you should check out the
video of him playing this in some rooftop patio. enjoy.
