Transcribed by: KeNz (thepeoplesuck@hotmail.com)
Brand New performed their song acoustically on K-Rock (NY radio station), and it was amazing. It was a lot easier to tab from the acoustic and it's basically the same as the original. It's tuned Drop D (DADGBe)

pm..... ....... ....... ....... (slightly)
[F#5] We saw the western
[D#5] coast, I saw the hospi-
[B5] -tal, Nurse the shoreline
[C#5] like a wound
[F#5] We paint a lover's
[D#5] tryst, We're neither clear nor de-
[B5] -script, We take it safe and slow
[C#5] The quiet things that no one ever knows
Chorus (Same as rhythm from intro [not pm and slower strumming]) x2
[F#5] Keep the blood in your head, and keep your feet on the
[D#5] ground, Today's the day it gets tired, it's the day we drop
[B5] down, Give up my body in bed, all for an empty ho-
[C#5] -tel, Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
Verse #2
[F#5] I contemplate the day we
[D#5] wed, your friends are boring me to
[B5] death, your veil is ruined
[C#5] in the rain
[F#5] By now, you could do with-
[D#5] -out, There's nothing new to talk a-
[B5] -bout, And though the kids are blessed
[C#5] The parents let them shoulder all the blame
Chorus x2
Interlude (same as intro but with chords)

I lie for only you
And I lie well halleluh
Chorus x2 to end it
That's it. It's a pretty easy song, but it's really good if done right. Until next time, kiddies.
