Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Normal
I've put this tab in standard tuning with no capo.
Alternatively you can transpose it -2 to G and play capo 2 for easier chord shapes.
Some of the non-typical chords used:
E6 - 022120
Bm9 - x24422 or 799779
D5 - xx023x
E/G# - 476454 or 4xx454 or 4224xx or 422100 (A couple variations cause this ones a little awkward)
Dm/F - xx3231
[Intro]
Drums lead in, then guitar with:

Bm9 D5 F

I had some love I wished to give

Read the writing on the wall

I can't stop this boat from sinking

My thought is done

What a normal person does

Letting go

Of what you know

I only squint to see

Letting go

Of what you know

So if life is formal

Find me my suit
