tune down 1/2 step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
chords used:
LA5sus X02200 LAsusaddF# 202200 LA X02255
SI5sus X24400 DO#5sus X46600 RE XX0232
MI5sus 022X00 FA# 244XXX SOL 320033
G#5: 466XXX (open): 000030
notes:
- I'm not sure what the proper name of the A* chord is.
- I shortened all the "sus" and "5" chord names. So when you see "A" in
the song, it's really A5sus as stated above. I hope this doesn't cause any
confusion, but there just wasn't enough space for the full names.
- (open) obviously isn't a real chord, it just what's played in the bridge.
- The rhythm might be pretty hard to get used to, so listen to the CD.
- In the chorus, throw in some open high E and B strings to make it
sound good.
- The bridge is pretty weird. You can either play the single notes or a
combination of the notes and chords.
- This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. If I made any mistakes,
please let me know!

LAaddF# MI SI LAaddF#
throw away the radio suitcase that keeps you awake
MI SI LAaddF#
hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case
MI SI LAaddF#
you realize that sometimes you're just not okay
MI SI LAaddF#
you level off, you level off, you level off, and it's not alright now

A E B (hold)
you will be safe in here
LAaddF# MI SI LAaddF#
throw away this very old shoelace, it tripped you again
