Girls And Boys In School

Hey guys, just to preface, I know this isn't exactly, 100% how the song is played, but
would be because the song is overflowing with synth, with little to no guitar to be
 Thus, this is how I arranged/transcribed the song for myself, to be played on one 
 You guys can change/play it any way you want, this is just to give a rough outline, with my
thrown in.  All in all, awesome song from an awesome band

Oh, and this my first tab, so try not to be too harsh :D

----------------------------------------------
Intro bit (synth)

E----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-X-11-11-11-X-11-11-11-X-11-11-11-11-11-11----------------------------|
G----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

----------------------------------------------
Verse:

The only chord I'm hearing in the verse is a very affected/processed C#5, so I just
strum it as a sixth string root powerchord with an 8th note feel....

----------------------------------------------
Chorus:

In the chorus, instead of going in and figuring out the chords, I just pick the melody:

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------|
D----------6-6---6-4----------------------------------------|
G-6-6-3-6-3----3----------6-3-6-3-6-3-6---3-----------------|
B---------------------------------------4-------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------|

That being said, if you want a chord progression to strum, one that works (not
what they do) would be:


C#m
questions for questions
F#m
I've got a question
G#m
would you ever dance with me like that

----------------------------------------------
End of Second Verse Synth Line (This one's REALLY buried in the mix, listen closely at
just like all your paper cuts..."):

G--------9---------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------------------------|
