Am     F           Am
 your hand on his arm
      F          C      E          Am
 the hay stack charm around your neck
   F              Am
 strung out and thin
    F            C              E          Am
 calling some friend trying to cash some check
        F      Am
 he's acting dumb

 head down to toes a reaction to you

 you say, you know what he did but you idiot kid
       E           Am
 you don't have a clue
  F             Am        F           E
 somtimes they just get caught in the eye

 now on the bus

 nearly touching this dirty retreat
  F      Am   F        C             E          Am
 falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
        F           Am
 gonna walk walk walk
  F          C              E          Am
 four more blocks plus the one in my break
  F          Am  F       C
 down downstairs to the man
             E           Am
 he's gonna make it all ok
          F        Am
 i can't beat myself
          F        C
 i can't beat myself
         E             Am
 and i don't want to talk
       F        Am       F         C
 i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet
   E         F
 whenever i want
             G
 so leave me alone

 you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marks

Sounds good to me! I mean it is identical to the one on ultimate guitar but that one's good too :)

I'm trying to hear it while I'm playing it, but I just can't hear it with these tabs. Not sure if it's 100 percent accurate. Although, it does sound ok in some spots :) It could just be me, however.
