Intro x2

Dadd9                          E11
   Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

Dadd9                 E11
   Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech

      F13             G6add9
As he opens the door, she rolls over...

   F13                  G6add9
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/pearl-jam/207363.html ]
D(ring)         A(ring)       G(ring)   D(ring)           A(ring)    G(ring)
   She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man

D(ring)          A(ring)    G(ring)   D(ring)           A        Asus4
   She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

A       Asus4        A          Asus4
        Can't find a better man

A       Asus4        A          Asus4       G(ring)
        Can't find a better man


Ohh...


Intro x1

Dadd9                 E11
   Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...

Dadd9                       E11
   She tells herself, oh...

(FULL STRUMMING FROM HERE ON OUT)
Dadd9                         E11
   Memories back when she was bold and strong

                    F13      G6add9
And waiting for the world to come along

F13                         G6add9
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

D               A             G           D               A            G

D                A          G           D               A            G
   She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man

D               A              G        D              A            G
   She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man

D                A          G            D              A            G
   She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

D               A           G
   Can't find a better man

D               A           G
   Can't find a better man
