This Is A Fire Door Never Leave Open

• G5

I previously tabbed only intro to this song, and now I'm going to tab the whole thing. 
atleast all the chords and a few little licks. :P

CAPO ON 5TH FRET

ALL CHORDS ARE RELATIVE TO CAPO, ALL LICKS ARE NOT.
____________________________________________________________________________

INTRO

Guitar 1

C F (Play each chord 16 times, play the whole process 3 times)

Guitar 2

G C (Play each chord 2 times, quick strokes. This is somewhat the main melody)

Guitar 1 OR 2, doesn't matter which.


Both guitars end intro on F5 (x 8 10 10 x x)

VERSE - Only bass plays in the verse, until...

I breathe out smoke against the window,
                             G5
Trace the letters in your name.
                         F5
Our letters sound the same;
                        G5                     F5
Full of all our changing that isn't change at all.

All straight lines circle sometime.

POST-VERSE (Part 1) - Repeat the intro.

VERSE - Once again, only bass plays until...

Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving.

Somewhere someone says 'I'm sorry.'
                            G5
Someone's making plans to stay."
                  F5
So tell me it's okay.
                   G5                   F5
Tell me anything, or show me there's a pull,
                         G5
Unassailable, that will lead you there,
                              F5
From the dark, alone, to benevolence that you've never known,
          C5               B5                A5
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember.
          G5
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams,
           F5
And the silence knows what you silence means,
            C5           B5                   A5
And your metaphors, as mixed as you can make them,

Are linked, like days, together.

POST-VERSE (Part 1)

POST-VERSE (Part 2) - Play this after Part 1.

Both guitars play A5 and let it ring.

Guitar 1

B-|-13-10-13-10-13-10-13-10--8-6-9-9h10p9-7-|

(Play the whole lick twice)

Guitar 2

C5 A5 (Play each chord 16 times, play the whole process twice)

VERSE

G5                        F5
I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right
G5                 F5
I remember everything, lick
                                    G5
And thread this string that will never mend you
                        F5
Or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor,
         C5            B5               A5
Or the fire-door that we kept propping open.
       G5
And I love this place; the enormous sky,
         F5
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by,
    C5   B5                    A5
So why can't I forgive these buildings,

These frameworks labeled "Home"?

POST-VERSE (Only play part 2)

OUTRO - Only bass plays.
