one of the main chords for this song.. look at the chords in the intro and verse for the
difference... the Em, is not and Em until the chorus kind of bit, it is actually an Em9th or
Em7th or something.. as shown in the chord chart below... enjoy..

Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it

But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
MImAs certain situations scream for deviations
LABut somehow we always get stuck in the middle
Of this and that and then he should try less
LAEvery time he's rejected then he loses affection
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time

Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
Never still find some to spare
MImAnd other people got more than they could use
LABut they don't share
And some people got problems man
LAThey got awful complications
MImOther people got perfect situations
With no provocation

then
CHORD: B / G# / G ~~~
FRET: 7 4 3 and hold
in case you don't know the terms above the shape for the B (7th fret) is

Man it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears man
He'll never ever leave this place

He's got stones instead of bones
And everybody knows
Ah, man that can make you real real slow
And if heaven was below
He'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean
And he'd sink like a stone
And he'd say
(VERSE part 2 now [x2])
It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster

Hermit crabs and cowry shells
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
He's waving at you
Lift him up to see what you can see
He begins his focusing
He's aiming at you
And now he has cutaways from memories
And close-ups of anything that
He has seen or even dreamed
And now he's finished focusing
He's imagining lightning
Striking sea sickness

Incoming tide touches roots to expose them,
Quicksand steals my shoe,
Clouds bring the f-stop blues

It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster

He's waving at you
Lift him up to see what you can
..see
He begins his focusing
He's aiming at you
And now he has cutaways from

And close-ups of anything that
He has seen or even dreamed
And now he's finished focusing
He's imagining lightning
Striking sea sickness
