Notes:
- A standard tuning arrangement without capo follows this capo'd
alternate tuning arrangement.
- Tabs are for studio recording, using live video to help identify them.
- See the provided diagrams for chord fingerings. As this is not standard
tuning, the chord fingerings for standard tuning do not apply. However, some
less familiar chords have well-known fingering, e.g. Am11 is played as Am7.
- The Cadd9 chords are played in a fashion similar to "Riff for Cadd9".

[Intro]
Riff 1 Riff 2
[Verse 1]
Riff 1 Riff 1
Work was on the wane
D Dsus4/A Cadd9 Riff 1 Riff 2
And I'd rather be no one, work in vain
Riff 1 Riff 1
And I was searching for relief
D Dsus4/A Cadd9 Riff 1 Riff 1
And as for me, I'd sooner take than receive
[Chorus]
G Am11
And time she bears a cross
G/B Cadd9
In an ocean teaming with fraud
G/B Dsus4/A Riff 1 Riff 2
I'm on the shore without applause
[Instrumental]
Riff 1 Riff 2
[Verse 2]
Riff 1 Riff 1
I'm always here and nothing can be done
D Dsus4/A Cadd9 Riff 1
O'er by the phone mean- while they suck their thumbs
Riff 1 Riff 1
Dead to rights, there's a fix and then
D Dsus4/A Cadd9 Riff 1 Riff 2
It's not the drinking but the worry that does you in
[Instrumental]
N.C.
[Bridge]
(The bridge lyrics are most certainly wrong, as are genius.com's.)
G Am11
I learned you once sold
G/B Cadd9
All ruthless and cold
G Dsus4/A
Now gears of nothing
G
Stacking up
[Chorus]
G Am11
She bears a cross
G/B Cadd9
In an ocean teaming with frauds
G/B Dsus4/A Riff 1
I'm on the shore without applause
[Outro]
Repeating Riff 1s and 2s

Use pointer as barre across 'GBe' strings. Middle finger for 'B'.
Pull-of and hammer on with ring finger on 'e' and pinky on 'G'.
To simplify, only play 2 on the 'G' string.
