Notes:
I don't promise that this is 100% correct but it's a decent outline. The picking pattern
isn't hard to figure so I didn't write it out here. Just toy with the top two strings
because that's where most of the action is.
She only slides up the the 13th fret on the F (b) string in some of the new versions she
plays so I just thought I'd throw it in there so you can decide what you want to do.
Feel free to leave updates or suggestions.

Lyrics:
Imagine that I'm on the stage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And what's beyond you is hidden from sight
And somebody right now is yawning
And watching me like a TV
And I've been frantically piling up sandbags
Against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity
Then suddenly I hear my guitar singing
And so I just start singing along
And somewhere in my chest all the noise
lust gets crushed by the song
Imagine that I'm at your mercy
Imagine that you are at mine
Oh, pretend that I've been standing here
Watching you watching me all this time
Now imagine that you are the weather
In the tiny snow globe of this song
And I am a statue of liberty, one inch long
And here I am at my most hungry
And here I am at my most full
And here I am waving a red cape
Locking eyes with a bull
Just imagine that I'm on stage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And what's beyond you is hidden from sight
