album: The Swiss Army Romance
chords by: morphinekiss (morguerita@sailormoon.com) 2/11/2005
This tab is as simple as it can be. I've narrowed it down to three essential chords,
although there are several more that are used in the chorus and bridge. Feel free to
throw those in at will -- this tab is just a guideline to the very basics of the song.
Have fun!

Db Ab
On the way home
Bbm
This car hears my confessions
Db Ab Db
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Ab
In this weather
Bbm
The wind outside is biting
Db Ab Db
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
Ab
You've been asking me to bleed
Bbm
It seems these kinds of questions
Db Ab Db
They come too easy to you now
Ab
And your lack of shame comes naturally
Bbm
I should not be surprised
Db Ab Db
I should have seen it sooner
Ab
Expect me to apologize
Bbm
For things that you've done wrong
Db Ab Db
While you're inciting others
Ab
You're owning up to nothing
Bbm
And I wish that I was gone
Db Ab Db
'Cause you're not going anywhere
Ab
And this damp air
Bbm
It's fighting my defroster
Db Ab Db
My sighs they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
Ab
And it's clouded
Bbm
And so is my head
Db Ab Db
The hint of these new tears are sharp, I try to choke them back
Ab
But it's useless
Bbm
I'm useless against them
Db Ab Db
They're beating me with ease
Db Ab
On the way home
Bbm
This car hears my confessions
Db Ab Db
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Ab
Expect me to apologize
Bbm
For things that you've done wrong
Db Ab Db
While you're inciting others
Ab
You're owning up to nothing
Bbm
And I wish that I was gone
Db Ab Db
'Cause you're not going anywhere
Db Ab
On the way home
Bbm
This car hears my confessions
Db Ab Db
I think tonight I'll take the long way
