I love this song so much it prompted me to learn my first song by ear, so this is
also my first ever tab.
Im really happy with it, especially the ending and the solo.
I have tabbed both guitars.

=== Lyrics ===
Do you dance and hope someones watching
I hope that their eyes set you free
Though your freedom is my prison
Your happiness my enemy
Stake your claim and hit the city
The neon and street lights are free
Though theyll cost your soul a fortune
Thats less than youve taken from me
Thats less than youve taken from me
Thats less than youve taken from
All the postcards and the letters
All the boxes of memories
Take to flames like wooden hearts
And the ash is no good to me
You are the single lonely magpie
At the side of the highway
I say good day, salute to your feathers
As your pecking at the maggots and flies
Of the road kill
I am stood still, and this is now goodbye
I was hoping one day
I could be myself again
Slip my ankles from your shackles
Leave you holding only chains
When the dust has settled
All the anger and the blame
Are packed away in cardboard boxes
Ill be ready for the change
I will run my fingers
Through the waters of our past
Undisturbed by old reflections
That nothing good could ever last
Like those childhood summers
That we thought could never end
Until the winter froze our senses
And we could no longer pretend
So Ive stopped pretending
That we could ever make amends
Old promises are best forgotten
And we could never be best friends
I was hoping one day
I could be myself again
Slip my ankles from your shackles
Leave you holding only chains
