Perffect Blue Buildings(Chords)

	        TABBED BY:   el sancco ([email protected]) 
 
Yet another top song from Counting Crows, so i hope this tab helps 
people to play it.  Be sure to note one thing though: In the verses, 
if the words stop on the Bb chord, then stay on Bb, and don't play 
Am.  Otherwise play the Am chord.  Enjoy!

Dm            C                Bb     Am 
Just down the street from your hotel, baby 
Dm        C              Bb 
I stay at home with my disease 
Dm             C          Bb      Am 
And ain't this position familiar, darling 
Dm                C            Bb 
Well, all monkeys do what they see 
Gm                        Bb 
Help me stay awake, I'm falling... 
 
Down on Virginia and La Loma 
Where I got friends who'll care for me 
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted 
I got an attitude of need 
Help me stay awake, I'm falling... 
 
CHORUS: 
    F         C            Gm 
    Asleep in perfect blue buildings 
    F          C           Gm 
    Beside the green apple sea 
    F              C       Gm       Bb 
    Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby 
    F             C     Bb        1.| Dm     2.|              F 
    Try to keep myself away from    | me       | (myself and) me 
                                    |          | 
 
It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday 
It doesn't get much worse than this 
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle 
of these lives which are completely meaningless 
Help me stay awake, I'm falling... 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: 
F           C           Gm           Bb       
F           C           Gm           Bb       
 
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister... 
There's a skeleton in every man's house 
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody 
There's a dead man trying to get out 
Please help me stay awake, I'm falling... 
 
(CHORUS) x3
