The Simple Life

Tabbed by Strelnikov

Notes - This is an amazing band, one of the original
        emo bands, they sound a lot like 90s alt,
        possibly even grunge.  The emo-ness is in the
        lyrics and the voice, mostly.  This is their
        nice, quiet acoustic song... well, until the
        end.
        I prefer that name, and that's what it's under
        in my iTunes library.

First Verse:
Play all of that five times, singing comes in on the second.

Lyrics- Dark streets carry me home now
        I've stayed to long
        We're brave men to sip the stars dry
        And leave sleep alone
        
        Built this house out of a fate driven dream \_ 2x
        And these walls aren't what they seemed     /

Second Verse:
Play it four times.

Lyrics- Hurt stays when the work is over
        We've stayed too long
        I'll save what memory lends me
        When these days are gone

        Built this house out of a fate driven dream \_ 2x
        And these walls aren't what they seemed     /

First verse, play this the fourth and fifth times
Second verse, play this the third and fourth times

Both times, it should be played when these lyrics are sung:
"Built this house out of a fate driven dream
 And these walls aren't what they seemed."

Play twice after the previous part, and sing.
For the second verse, only play once, and stop at
the first note in the second to last measure, and
let that note ring and fade.

        And I can't follow you down

Play this twice, singing, yelling really.

|--0----------------|  The second time, strum this chord, instead
|--0----------------|  of the last measure, once, and let it ring,
|--2----------------|  and that's the end.
|--3----------------|


They throw in bass and drums on this part, too, it's the
unexpected loud, angsty ending.  It's really hard to hear
the acoustic guitar through everything, so those chords are
my best guess, play around with it and listen to the song.


Lyrics- Dark streets carry me home now
        I've stayed too long
        We're brave men to sip the stars dry
        And leave ourselves alone
