I saw the chords from a live gig that I recorded. But I'll write 13 after them. Here are the chords Graham plays in the song: B13: (76x8xx) Am13:(54x5xx) At least it’s what Graham plays, maybe. E: (022100) (Graham doesn’t play this at all. He plays GUITAR FILL 3.) G13: (32x4xx) F?: (133200) Play with a low thumb. Bb13:(65x8xx) C#: (x46664) A: (577655) Play with a low thumb. C#m: (x46654) Graham often plays the bar chords with a low thumb. He doesn't play this order all the way during the song. When you play the first two "13" chords then bend the G string a little .But I think he uses some sort of pedal that makes that "bending" sound. I’m not sure if Damon plays an Am or an A. Verse 1: B Do you feel like a chain store? Am E(GUITAR FILL 1) Practically floored G F One of many zeros Bb C# Kicked around bored B Your ears are full, but you're empty Am E(GUITAR FILL 1) Holding out your heart G F To people who never really Bb A Care how you are (GUITAR FILL 2) Chorus: C#m So give me Coffee & TV B(B13)A(GUITAR FILL 3) History C#m I've seen so much E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) I'm going blind A B(B13) And I'm braindead virtually C#m 'Cos Sociability B(B13) A(GUITAR FILL 3) It's hard enough for me C#m E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) Take me away from this big bad world A D And agree to marry me A So we can start over again Verse 2: B Do you go to the country? Am E(GUITAR FILL 1) It isn't very far G F Those people there will hurt you Bb C# 'Cos of who you are B Your ears are full of the language Am E(GUITAR FILL 1) There's wisdom there you're sure G F 'Til the words start slurring Bb A And you can't find the door (GUITAR FILL 2) Chorus: C#m So give me Coffee & TV B(B13)A(GUITAR FILL 3) History C#m I've seen so much E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) I'm going blind A B(B13) And I'm braindead virtually C#m 'Cos Sociability B(B13) A(GUITAR FILL 3) It's hard enough for me C#m E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) Take me away from this big bad world A D And agree to marry me A So we can start over again Solo(more like the live version): B Am E G F Bb C# e/-----------------------------------------------------------| B/-12~~----------------17~~-15~~-----------------------------| G/------11h13-14---------------------------------------------| D/---------------14~~------------15b17--15-15^---------------| A/-----------------------------------------------------------| E/-----------------------------------------------------------| B Am E G F Bb A e/-----------------------------------------------------------| B/-----------------------------------------------------------| G/------9-11-11-9b11-11-9-------------------4-4-4-6-11-9-----| D/-5b7---------------------9~~9~~-12~--14~~--------(17~~)----| A/-----------------------------------------------------------| E/-----------------------------------------------------------| The 17 in brakets is what guitar 3 plays. ~= vibrate Chorus: C#m So give me Coffee & TV B(B13)A(GUITAR FILL 3) History C#m I've seen so much E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) I'm going blind A B(B13) And I'm braindead virtually C#m 'Cos Sociability B(B13) A(GUITAR FILL 3) It's hard enough for me C#m E(Here is where GUITAR FILL 4 enters) Take me away from this big bad world A D And agree to marry me A So we can start over again B e/------------------------------| B/------------------------------| G/------------------------------| This is played after Graham sings D/------------------------------| "Aah, we can start over again" A/-6-7-6-7-9-7-6--6-7-6-7-9-7---| E/------------------------------| D A Aah, we can start over again D A Aah, we can start over again D A Aah, we can start over again D A Aah, we can start over again ALTERNATE TABS: e ---------------------------------------------------------------| B ------------------------------------------------7-7--5-5-5-5-5-| G --8-8--8-9-8--8-9-8--8-9-8-8--------------------6-6--4-4-4-4-4-| D --9-9--9-9-9--9-9-9--9-9-9-9-----------------------------------| A --6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6-6-----------------------------------| E --7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7-7--5-5--5-5-5-----------------------| e ------------------------------------------------------| B ------------------------------------------------------| G -4-4--4-4-4--2-2--2-2-2--7-7--7-7-7--10-10--10-10-10--| D -5-5--5-5-5--3-3--3-3-3--8-8--8-8-8--11-11--11-11-11--| A -2-2--2-2-2--0-0--0-0-0--5-5--5-5-5---8--8---8--8--8--| E -3-3--3-3-3--1-1--1-1-1--6-6--6-6-6---9--9---9--9--9--| 6.
