1000 Pounds Tab

Done by ear.  Lyrics are pulled off of some site (and incomplete).  
I play an acoustic and like playing with the AMaj7 (x02120), but the regular A 
(x02220) is fine (or power chords).  
I did a rough tab of the first guitar break.  

		   				
You finally pulled back when the world pulled your hair
				
Alone in the room with a question hangin
     							
You left with your hand in the air, and it's still there

	
	
	
	

B:  ------------12 | ------------12- | ------------12- | ---------
G:  9-9-9-9-9/11-- | 9-9-9-9-9/11--8 | 9-9-9-9-9/11--8 | --9-9----
D:  ---9---9------ | ---9---9------- | ---9---9------- | 11---11-9

        		   
At your age life moves so fast
	     			
Twelve years old, skinny legs, built to come in last
        		   
Had a mirror that would never lie
            		   
But ? never pays to try

	
	
	
	

				
Everytime i saw you
					
You were trying so hard to explain

Broadcast failure
						
Like a plastic bowl its spinning down the drain

		  		
But you came through, you came through
		
When nobody expected you to
				
You came through, you came through
			
With all those narrowed eyes upon you
	 					
You came through, you came through

		
		
		
		

	   				
Now you wish you weighed a thousand pounds
	   				
So you could crush all those bullies and demons down
	   				
From your seat at the back of the bus
		   			
You're still waving back at us

	
	
	
	


Everytime i saw you
					
You were trying so hard to explain

Broadcast failure
	 						
Like a plastic bowl its spinning down the drain

		  		
But you came through, you came through
		
When nobody expected you to
				
You came through, you came through
			
With all those narrowed eyes upon you
	 					
You came through, you came through

		
		
		
		
     (Not sure about these last chords, bass notes sound like   , guitar 
sounds like   , but it's your call)

Enjoy.  Always loved this song.  Post corrections/additions.
