You Remind Me Of Home Tab

You Remind Me of Home
Ben Gibbard / "Home Vol. 5"

The previously submitted tab for this song was based on a live performance.
This is the studio version which, evidently, is played a bit different.

Capo 2

		         
You remind me of home: the paint cracks when the water leaks
 						
from the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet.
 		         
You remind me of home: the heater's warm but fills the room with a
                         
potpourri of dust and gas fumes.

 		         
You remind me of home: a broken bed with dirty sheets that creaks
                           
when I am shifting in my sleep.
                  	  
You remind me of home: in a suburban town with nothing to do,
                                      
patiently waiting for something to happen.

                  (Riff I)  		
But the foundation is crumbling   
     	           (Riff II)
and becoming one with the ground
       	      (Riff I)
while you lay there in slumber...
       	      (Riff III)
You're wasting your life. Wasting your life. (repeat)

                      
You remind me of home: sitting on a thrift store couch,
 			
I'm trying to get this all down

 
Riff I
