For this song you will need to detune your guitar down
1/2 A step:  Eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb
 
The intro of the song is D and Dsus4 with the
following riff played over the top it four times:
 
    D   Dsus4 D
 
e-----2-3--2----           X 4
b---3---------3-
g-2-------------
d---------------
a---------------
e---------------
 
 
Then the first verse starts
 
                            (with intro riffx2 played over the top)
Em          G                D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Maybe the rain's holding off,
 
Em          G                   D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D (I'll just refer
Surely it knows, we're down here                   to this as  
                                                   D riff now)
Em             G            D riff
Walking 'round barefoot lost
 
Em                                       A
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear
 
G              D         A
I know it's a lot
 
G                   D        A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
 
G               D         A
For a second so I could coax you to talk
 
 
  (There could be a very quick G in here, I'm not sure)
Em  ^  D riff
 
 
 
Em             G              D riff
Think when we first layed eyes
 
        Em                        G                       D riff
Didn't know who you were and then I was one more passerby
 
             Em                      G                    D riff
You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but
 
          Em                               A
You were still in school and I was insecure
 
G              D    A
I know it's a lot
 
G                D                  A
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
 
G               D                    A
For a second so I could coax you to talk
 
 A      F#m    A   F#m A F#m A F#m A    F#m  A F#m   D riff  D riff
About your dreams and orange soda tea leaves, tv,  more....more
 
(If you don't like all the changes above you can just strum the F#m
the whole way though til 'more' but it doesn't sound as good)
 
Em               G              D riff
Looks like the rains holding off
 
Em              G           D riff
Might as well take this slow
 
         Em                            G                      D riff
You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
 
Em                            A
Then I hear you talking to my soul
 
G                       D   A
Well I know it ain't half 
 
G                   D   A
of this story I'm only meaning to ask
 
G                   D                  A       D riff  D riff D riff etc
Just what would it take to coax you to laugh? To laugh,   To laugh To laugh
 
 
Em  G  D riff
 
Em  G  D riff
 
Em  G  D riff
 
Just play G over the following lines
 
What would it
What would it               D
What would it take you to laugh?
 
Repeat the above twice, then
 
I'm not too sure on the ending but I'll give it a go
 
G           Em
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
 
G           Em
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
 
G           Em       D
Na na na na na na na
 
 
Then play D (plus the riff a few times) till
the end.
