Cycling Trivialities
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
F# G#m E x2
[Verse 1]
F# G#m E
Too blind to know your best
F# G#m E
Hurrying through the forks without regrets
F# G#m E
Different now, every step feels like a mile
F# G#m E
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by
[Chorus]
F# G#m E
So how's it gonna be
F# G#m E
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities
[Verse 2]
F# G#m E
Don't know which way to turn
F# G#m E
Every trifle becoming big concerns
F# G#m E
All this time you were chasing dreams
F# G#m E
Without knowing what you wanted them to mean
[Chorus]
F# G#m E
So how's it gonna be
F# G#m E
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities
F# G#m E
So how's it gonna be
F# G#m E
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities
[Verse 3]
E Ebm C#m B F#
Who cares in a hundred years from now
E Ebm C#m B E F#
All the small steps, all your shitty clouds
E Ebm C#m B F#
Who cares in a hundred years from now
E
Who'll remember all the players
C#m E F#
Who'll remember all the clowns
[Chorus]
G#m E
So how's it gonna be
F# B F# G#m E
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities
C#m E F# G#m
So what does this really mean
F# B F# G#m E
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities

version 2
Tuning:D A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
Ignore the tuning listed at the top of the page on Ultimate Guitar, they don't
have an
option for this tuning, Drop D is the closest they have but note the G string
is tuned UP
a tone to A. If you don't want to tune your G string up a tone, you can use
CGCGAD, Capo 4.
Played with triplets all the way through (as noted on 1st two bars)
The [1. [2. etc are alternate endings for the sections indicated.
The fingerpicking follows the same pattern almost throughout, with only a
couple of
spots that it has to change slightly. The pattern is:
Thumb, index, middle, ring, index, middle.
It goes a bit tricky in the bridge, you'll have to figure that out.
From the part labelled middle 16 until the end, the pattern is much the same
but you
just use your thumb for the lower notes that play at the same time as the high
notes
on the ring finger, ie
Thumb, index, middle, thumb/ring, index, middle.
[Part 1] (repeats many times, the ghost notes on string 1 are mostly random)

Too blind to know your best
Hurrying through the forks without regrets
Different now, every step feels like a mile
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
But don't know which way to turn
Every trifle becoming big concerns
All this time you were chasing dreams
Without knowing what you wanted them to mean
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
Who cares in a hundred years from now
All your small steps, all your shitty clouds
Who cares in a hundred years from now
Who'll remember all the players

version 3
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
So this is just in standard tuning and it's not the original tab but if you
want to play the intro of this
song without changing the tuning and adding a capo, then you can simply play
it with this tab.
[Intro]
First chord is a barre on the 2nd fret with your (ring and pinky finger on 4th
fret strings D and G)
Repeat(3x)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------2------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------4---4----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----4-------4--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--2------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The second chord is a really quick change, with the (middle finger placed on
the 4th fret low E string)(ring
finger placed on 4th fret D string)(pinky finger placed on 4th fret G
string)(and index finger/pointer finger
placed on the 2nd fret B string)
Immidiate chord switch (1x)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------2------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------4---4----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----4-------4--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The third chord is an (open string for the low E string)(middle finger placed
on the 4th fret D string)(ring
finger placed on the 4th fret G string)(pinky finger placed on the 4th fret B
string)
Repeat(3x)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------4------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------4---4----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----4-------4--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is the same chord shape as the last one but you do a pull off from 4th
fret B string to the 2nd fret B
string
Just repeat back to the first chord after you play this and it basically just
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
