This is a song tabbed from a live performance of Curse Your Branches, by David Bazan. It 
be noted that sometimes Dave goes off on an Oooh'ing spree to end the song instead of 
Am Dm C F, which is just the verse with Ooohs instead of words...
F
AmRed and Dmorange or Cblue and Fyellow
In Gmwhich of Cthese do Fyou Bbbelieve
If Cyou're not Fsure right now please Amtake a mBboment
I Cneed your Dmsignature beCfore you Fleave
AmWhen I Dmsleep I'm Cusually Fdreaming
But Gmmore and Cmore it's Fonly Bbone
Where Cevery Fhired gun I've Amever Bbfired
Is Cmaking Dmlove to you while CI look Fon
BbAll fallen leaves should curse their Fbranches
For not Bbletting them decide where Cthey should Ffall
And not Gmletting them refuse to fall at Call
And Amin my Dmthroat there Cswells a Fdarkness
It Gmfills my Cmouth and Fcoats my Bblips
CEven Fas the threat of hell is AmdisappBbearing
The Cthreat of Dmlosing you is Cblowing Fup
BbAll fallen leaves should curse their Fbranches
For not Bbletting them decide where Cthey should Ffall
And not Gmletting them refuse to fall at Call
Am Dm C F

Am Dm C F, which is just the verse with Ooohs instead of words...

Am Dm C F

Red and orange or blue and yellow

Gm C F Bb

In which of these do you believe

C F Am Bb

If you're not sure right now please take a moment

C Dm C F

I need your signature before you leave

Am Dm C F

When I sleep I'm usually dreaming

Gm C F Bb

But more and more it's only one

C F Am Bb

Where every hired gun I've ever fired

C Dm C F

Is making love to you while I look on

Bb F

All fallen leaves should curse their branches

Bb C F

For not letting them decide where they should fall

Gm C

And not letting them refuse to fall at all

Am Dm C F

And in my throat there swells a darkness

Gm C F Bb

It fills my mouth and coats my lips

C F Am Bb

Even as the threat of hell is disappearing

C Dm C F

The threat of losing you is blowing up

Bb F

All fallen leaves should curse their branches

Bb C F

For not letting them decide where they should fall

Gm C

And not letting them refuse to fall at all

Am Dm C F
