[Verse 1]
 
C                     B7
you walk down alameda shuffle-ing your deck
            Am     Asus2     F
of trick ca-ards o-ver every-one
          C             B7    Am
like some precious only son
                          F
face down, bow to the champion
C                     B7
you walk down alameda looking at the
                  Am
cracks in the sidewalk
          Asus2     F
thinking about your friends
        C                 B7   Am
how you maintain all them in
                      F
a constant state of suspense
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Dm     E      Am      C
for your own protection   over their affection
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                   Bb              C
you broke your own cause you can't finish what you start
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                  B7                              Am
walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
      Asus2                         F
could plague me when i'm awake
            C                B7    Am                               F
and now you see your first mistake    was thinking that you could relate
    C      F                     Am
for one or two minutes she liked you
        C      F
but the fix is in
       Dm     E       Am
you're all pretension
        C
i never pay attention
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb                 C
you broke your own because you can't    finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
   Cm      F               Bb                    C
if you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart

..and..tuning must be one whole step down instead of one half (like the usual elliott smith tuning..)

Great Tab! But I'm pretty sure that Bm must be Bb! Rest is perfect. Thank you very much.
