Portland Is Leaving Tab

 Come along with me now 'cause there are
                         
Things I've been dying to tell you
               
The best or the worst things that you
              
Never needed to know
                   
This is the kind of comedy where no one's
                    
Laughing 'cause it's hard to...
                      
I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk with my
               
Fist in a broken mirror...

          
There's a party near by
      
 I can hear
                                      
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
                                       
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
               
Everything else is just a train-wreck

   
   

                                               
Gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life
                                                 
Till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined
                                                
You might ask me "Aren't you dead inside and so damn tired?"
                                            
I say i have no idea but I'm not sleeping until after the
                  
dying is over I can hear
                                      
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
                                       
Sounds too simple, but love is the only answer
                  
Love's a trainwreck, you're a mistake

   
   
   
   
   


Sometimes it's more convenient to play the barre chord than the open chord.
Also, at the end of the lines in the verses, he likes to play the C# (note, not chord) 
the A chord (second fret on the b string if you're playing an open A chord or sixth fret 
the g string if you're playing the barre chord.
If this doesn't make sense, disregard it.
