For this song you will need to detune your guitar down
1/2 a step: eb bb gb db ab eb
The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the
following riff played over the top it four times:
RE REsus4 RE
e-----2-3--2---- X 4
b---3---------3-
g-2-------------
d---------------

e---------------
Then the first verse starts
(with intro riffx2 played over the top)
MIm SOL RE REsus4 RE REsus4 RE
Maybe the rain's holding off,
Em G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D (I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here to this as
D riff now)
MIm SOL RE riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost
MIm LA
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear
SOL RE LA
I know it's a lot
SOL RE LA
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
SOL RE LA
For a second so I could coax you to talk
(There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
MIm RE riff
MIm SOL RE riff
Think when we first layed eyes
MIm SOL RE riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby
MIm SOL RE riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but
MIm LA
You were still in school and I was insecure
SOL RE LA
I know it's a lot
SOL RE LA
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
SOL RE LA
For a second so I could coax you to talk
LA FA#m LA FA#m LA FA#m LA FA#m LA FA#m LA FA#m RE riff RE riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv, more....more
(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)
MIm SOL RE riff
Looks like the rains holding off
MIm SOL RE riff
Might as well take this slow
MIm SOL RE riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
MIm LA
Then I hear you talking to my soul
SOL RE LA
Well I know it ain't half
SOL RE LA
of this story I'm only meaning to ask
G D A D riff D riff D riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh, To laugh To laugh
MIm SOL RE riff
MIm SOL RE riff
MIm SOL RE riff
Just play G over the following lines
What would it
