Verse:
Guitar 1 plays G#5 A5 E5 B5
G#5 A5 E5 B5
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?
*(Guitar 2 plays first three measures of intro)
I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
Where'd you come from? Where am I going?
*(Guitar 2 plays fill 1)
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for...
Fill 1

Chorus: (Guitars 1 & 2 play chords indicated)
E
Waiting for you
G#m B
All my sins...
F#m A
I said that I would pay for them if I could
come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
*(w/ fill 2)
Every night these silohuettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper
* (w/ first 3 measures of intro, then fill 1)
Every time I fall asleep Every time I dream
"Did you come? Would you lie?
Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for...
Fill 2

I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed

Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book
Suck my blood break my nerve offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
I'll only stand here

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official COUNTING CROWS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
