-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: James Kent
E-mail: [email protected]
The Smith Street Band: http://thesmithstreetband.bandcamp.com/

Tuning: E A C# g b e
(The downtuning of the D string aids the sound of the harmonics)

There is a second guitar which I may tab later, but this seems to be most of
the role of the primary guitar.

Notes enclosed by parenthisis (e.g. "(19)") indicates the string should only 
be TOUCHED at this fret, not fully depressed.

Lyrics
------
Verse 1:
I got dry blood caked on my feet 
I got dye and dirt all over me 
I got twelve bucks, got ciggies 
But I've had good luck and I'm happy 
You woke me up before your plane left 
I helped you find your stuff, you kissed my forehead 
We trashed my room, broke my bed 
But I've had good luck and I'm happy. 

Chorus:
And I miss you but it feels good this way 
Let?s fall in love somewhere that you'll wanna stay 
I miss you but it?s nice for a change and 
You can always stay. 

Verse 2:
And we're as happy as ducks in a storm drain 
Somewhere off Dynon Road swimming in the rain 
You asked me if I was self-conscious 
I said ?Of course I am,? you took my clothes off.

Outro: 
And I was so scared to talk to your friends 
Pretended that I was a real person 
Trying to remember names, smiling and nodding 
But I couldn't kick the grin from when you'd gone and kissed me quickly in the kitchen. 
It?s cool, you can crash in my room while I'm away.
