David Bazan: Fewer Broken Pieces (acoustic)

Capo: 3rd fret

G#dim7:    4-x-3-4-x-1--|
Fmaj7/c:   1-3-3-2-1-0--| (play the bass note w/ your thumb. He slightly embellishes it 
pulling off and on with his first and second finger)

VERSE 1:

                                             
If you make a reference to some trouble, that you know
                                  
Can it help you keep it under control?
                           
Or should I really re---consider
                     
My reasons for going solo
                                
David byrne on Bob Costas, puts it pretty well
   G#dim7
But I put it better


CHORUS:
            /
I still run the show
           
Don't you forget it
                /   
So I had to let some go
                
Don't think I don't regret it
            /                   
Cause I do and I don't think I'm better off alone


INTERLUDE:

|:-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
|:-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| x2

                        
Man I could have, had a, big sound
                                  G#dim7
But I love to, let my, friends down

/                       
/                       

VERSE 2:
/                       
Fewer moving parts means fewer broken pieces
     /                        
When every other start requires a brand new theosis
/                       G#dim7
One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry:
        /                  
"Jesus dude! None of us know what to do with you"
                      
To which I in my pride responded
           
"I've got news for you:
G#dim7
None of you have to, cause"

Back to the chorus
through the interlude, end on C/g.
