 I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose.
 Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on
 the D string for C chords.
 Well, I  woke up this morning with dead leaves  inside my bed.
 You said "You're better  off just where you are than to be  stuck in my head.
 You've got to leave  it all behind you and give yourself  up to chance."
 So I  gave myself  to chance.
 And I packed  a little suitcase, brushed my teeth  and washed my hands.
 I've been bluffing  here for years and now I think it's time  I showed my hand.
 I'm going to move  to New York City and set  the sky on fire.
 Oh, don't the night  look so alive  with it's desire
 To cross  the River Jordan?
 But it just  don't feel the same.
 When I came  home Friday morning
 With no  one but myself  to blame.
 
 See I  have trouble with numbers and paying  the ones I owe.
 And I put  what I had left in the pocket  of my coat.
 I went out  to find a liquor store and make a home  there in the snow,
 Give myself  a little shelter  from the cold.
 See, I was bound  here by my choices.
 Oh my god  how I felt so ashamed.
 Still I hoped  that you might join  us
 And take this little  light of ours  out on parade
 Melodica Section (played twice):
 I used  to look at others and try to find  a way to grow.
 And now I  just look around and I'm going to reap  the seeds I've sown.
 And I try to picture  myself in Oslo but lord  help me if I go.
 I've been running  around and I believe  it's starting to show.
 And so I'll cross  the River Jordan
 And if it just  don't feel the same.
 And I'm not  home Friday morning
 I'll have no  one but myself  to blame.
 Thanks. Enjoy.

I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose.
Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on
the D string for C chords.

Well, [G]I woke up this morning with dead [C]leaves inside my [G]bed.
You said "You're [G]better off just where you are than to [D]be stuck in my head.
You've got to [G]leave it all behind you and give your[C]self up to [G]chance."
So [Em]I gave [D]myself to [G]chance.

And I [G]packed a little suitcase, brushed my [C]teeth and washed my [G]hands.
I've been [G]bluffing here for years and now I think it's [D]time I showed my hand.
I'm going to [G]move to New York City and [C]set the sky on [Cmaj7]fire.
Oh, don't the [Em]night look so [D]alive with it's de[G]sire

To [C]cross the River Jor[G]dan?
But it [D]just don't feel the [G]same.
When I [C]came home Friday mor[G]ning
With [Em]no one but my[D]self to [C]blame. [G]
     [Em]           [D]       [G]

See [G]I have trouble with numbers and [C]paying the ones I [G]owe.
And I [G]put what I had left in the [D]pocket of my coat.
I went [G]out to find a liquor store and make a [C]home there in the [G]snow,
Give my[Em]self a little [D]shelter from the [G]cold.

See, I was [C]bound here by my [G]choices.
Oh my [D]god how I felt so a[G]shamed.
Still I [C]hoped that you might [G]join us
And take this [Em]little light of [D]ours out on pa[G]rade

Melodica Section (played twice):

[Em]    [D]    [G]    [C]
[Em]    [D]    [G]    [G]

I [G]used to look at others and try to [C]find a way to [G]grow.
And now [G]I just look around and I'm going to [D]reap the seeds I've sown.
And I try to [G]picture myself in Oslo but [C]lord help me if I [Cmaj7]go.
I've been [Em]running around and I be[D]lieve it's starting to [G]show.

And so I'll [C]cross the River Jor[G]dan
And if it [D]just don't feel the [G]same.
And I'm [C]not home Friday [G]morning
I'll have [Em]no one but my[D]self to [C]blame. [G]

Thanks. Enjoy.
