None of them
INTRO: Em
VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Everybody cares, everybody understands
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
Yes everybody cares about you
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
To a pure synthetic sympathy
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
that infuriates you totally
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout
G F C Em Riff A
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
G F C Em Riff B
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
After running upstairs again and again
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
From wherever they came to fix you in, but
Riff A:
Riff B:
VERSE:
Em Em6 C/E G D/F#
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
You've got a pretty vision in your head
F C B7-B7sus4-B7
A pencil full of poison lead
F C B7 B7/A B7/G B7/F#
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
G F C Em Riff A
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
G F C Em Riff B
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
G F C Em Riff A
Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
G F C Em Riff B
Raining its guiding light upon everyone

You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Cm D7 Em

CODA:
My favorite part of the song. I'll tab out the main guitar part but there's a few
layers of guitar/keyboard so just jam out and mess around with a wah pedal or whatever if you can
