Esus4: 022200

Intro/verse (the E-riff)
E   Esus4    E Esus4 E 

this riff until...
"You're surprised, and then you wake."

Prechorus

G#m   	  		      A
    For all the things you're losing.
		    E           	 Esus4     E
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change.
G#m			 A
   And I'm going down to Hollywood.
		     B
They're gonna make a movie from the things
				
That they find crawling round my brain. 

Chorus

A    B	  	  C#m
   I wish I was a girl
   B		    A
So that you could believe me
    B		       C#m	    B
And I could shake this static every time 
	 A
I try to sleep
  B		   C#m
I wish for all the world
     B
That I could say
       E		 	         F# 
"Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
      A         B
These days."

Teh Bridge

The E riff...
and then...this with the E riff after another verse, or two and a chorus
  
----------------
--9--9--7--7----
----9--9--9--9--
----------------
----------------
----------------

		  A     
And in one of these dreams
	E
You forgive me.
		    F#m
It makes me think of    the bad decisions
     A	
That keep you at home.
	  E		   A
How could anyone else have changed,
F#m   
    But these are wrong conclusions
     A
That leave you alone.
	  E		A
How could everyone rearrange?
	  E		     A
How could everyone else have changed?
       F#m     A
What I see I believe.

E
For all the things I'm losing
                 E               Esus4          E
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change.
G#m			 A
   And I'm going down to Hollywood.
		     B
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.

Chorus again

Second bridge (counting crows have so many wonderful emotional changes in their songs)

F#m   A  B
F#m   A  B
F#m   A  B

	     F#m      A B
Well I can't sleep at night.
	     F#m      A B
Well I can't sleep at night.
	     F#m      A B
Well I can't sleep at night.
	     F#m      A B
Well I can't sleep at night.
