"Future Reflections"
The chords in this song are damn near impossible
to hear, but after listening to many live perfomances
of this song, I think I've come up with an accurate
tab. The first tab for this song is completely wrong
the song while playing along with this tab, due to the
fact that it's pretty insane. Also, this is tuned down
half a step from the actual song.

And there were [A]future reflections
On the f[E]ace and the hands
On a g[A]reen colored island
On a p[E]rimitive man
It was the [A]future reflecting
It felt fa[E]miliar but new
A street was [A]missing a building
The kids had[E] something to do
[F#m] There was a f[E]eeling the spirit was l[B]eaving
Red like a m[A]arker
[F#m] So my tribe,[E] with my knife
[B]Cut the heart from a [A]lonely life
This part is especially weird, so I just play basically
the bassline (which I mapped out for guitar)
throughout this verse:

I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner
[F#m] But as long as you f[E]eel it
I'm a bel[B]iever
My heart is pho[A]sphor
[F#m] Sea rolls, [E] death tolls
[B]Break the surface don't[A] break my bones
[F#m] Off of the t[E]rail and off of your [B]hands and
Onto a [A]new plan
[F#m] Is the cost [E] to stay lost
Fo[B]rever in an e[A]mpty skin
[Bb]Pale and thin
[B] If it's good, or if it's [Bb]fortune, I can't tell
But [A]pieces come together for some r[E]eason just as well
[B] Their guns couldn't see us
There's a s[Bb]ea outside my door
[A] And one day I'll appreciate
The r[E]ush of blood and the w[C]ashed out beat of the [C#m]shore[B]
And remember what it f[A]elt like[E]
To be a[C#m]lone[B]
Sitting in the su[A]nlight[E]
All a[C#m]lone[B] [A] [E]
Just end on that progression: C#m, B, A, E
