Tears Over Beers tab

Tears Over Beers

• G#

I saw Modern Baseball live last weekend, and I fell in love with them in only a 
few short days. They opened with Tears Over Beers, so I searched for a tab and found  
mostly chords/tabs that looked 
similar to this;

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so 
E-------------------------------|-------------------------------|

D-6---------6---------6---------|-6---------6---------6---------| 
A-4---------4---------6---------|-5---------5---------4---------| 
E-------------------------------|-------------------------------| 
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones 


It also turns out that this is how the lead singer plays while he is singing. However, 
I was having trouble hitting the notes with my voice, so I wrote a tab that made it 
easier to find your correct pitches. This tab also sounds more melodic and pleasing 
to the ear- especially if you're playing alone. 

I have tabbed the intro, and wrote the chords and lyrics for the rest of the song. 
I will refer to the chords by their bass note, as the main notes (G# C#) do not change 
for the majority of the song.

She realized if she wants conversation, she's out of luck for three more years

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so, 
  C#      D#    F           F#          F           C# 
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones

That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears 
    C#          D#         F                  D               D           C# 
She realized if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years 

      C#      D#       F     F#  F        C# 
When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so, 
  C#     D#         F               F#        F              C# 
I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones 
     C#        D#       F         F#           F              C# 
That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, 
    C#      D#     F        F#               F            D 
But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away 


           C#        D#              F#* 
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better, 
        C#        D#         F#* 
because all I can take is no more. 
     C#            D#             F            F# 
I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends. 
         C#            D#            D                             C# 
He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me. 


   C#     D#        F#* 
He needed more than me 
    C#           D#             F             F# 
I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, 
       F      D         C# 
But he needed more than me." 


       C#        D#       F      F#            F           C# 
When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so, 
  C#      D#    F           F#          F            C# 
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones 
     C#         D#      F       F#             F             C# 
That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town, 
            C#             D#              F           F# 
because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me 
   F                D            C# 
Is grinning as he's checking her out 


          C#       D#              F#* 
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better, 
        C#        D#         F#* 
Because all I can take is no more. 
     C#           D#             F            F# 
I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends, 
        F          D           C# 
leaking tears over beers once again." 


Thanks, please email me for suggestions/any notes I should take for future tabs, seeing  
as this was my first guitar tab.
