I noticed there was no tab for this song, that wasn't a guitarpro, or a powertab,
and decided i would make a little simple acoustic version.
note, it's not really supposed to sound like the original version.
but it sounds close enough that if you played it to any true pavement fan,
they would know what you're doing.
Chords used: Em, G, B, D  
Verse 1:
EmSo much for destiGny,
A Bpin prick on my kneDe,
The fEmrost you paint
acGross our dead Baffair.D  
I sEmensed the toxic aura G  
from the seBcond we toucheDd,
EmYou were stitched up veGnom 
and I Bwas the cursed from the DVedic.
Chorus 1:
EmTime is a oGne way track and BI am not coDming back,
BI dream in bEmeige why'd you lGeave me so fBar now,D  
EmTime tired you're Gtainted through,
Bwind, songs and subsDtitutes,
BI dream in bEmeige why'd you lGeave me so fBar now.D  
Verse 2:
EmThe afterlife is stGeep,
We woBnder and retrDeat,
And eEmveryone is aGfter usB.D  
EmSkirt the gone street Ghawkers 
with the bBlack lemonaDde,
EmKeep an arrow trGained on their
Bconflicted minds 'cause tDhey stutter.
