  			*Okay, this is my first tab, so be nice. I?m not completely sure the chords are  right
(they could be more complicated), but I?m pretty sure the notes on the tab are right.
Some of the slides, pull-offs, and hammer-ons might not be correct though.
The first chord of each verse (F) is just one strum.
Then, the other chords are all regular strumming (down-up, down-up, etc.)
Listen to the song to get a more accurate strum and find the pattern. 
Also, the G chord is played like this: 320022 rather than this: 320002. 
 
Verse 1: 
 
F			      G 
What are you hiding from me? 
C 
What are you hiding 
C           D           G 
Beneath the leaves that color you, 
C           D           G 
And all the things that make you what you feel? 
 
Verse 2: 
 
F			      G 
The sun ain?t inviting I know, 
C 
The sun ain?t inviting, 
         C     D         G 
But I?ve sat beneath the bridges 
         C           D     G               C 
And I?ve watched the water pass between my toes 

    D 
You wonder who to follow, 
        C 
And you lie about your heart 
           D 
There?s no need to buy tomorrow, 
             C  G        D 
When there?s no place to start 
 
Verse 3: 
 
F			          G 
So where are you hiding from me? 
C 
Where are you hiding? 
C         D       G 
My little troll beneath the bridge 
          C       D         G              C 
Well I?ve counted down from ten and here I come

Verse 4: 
 
F                     G 
I saw a bird fly its cage 
C 
Out of the darkness, 
         C           D       G 
Well its wings could take it anywhere, 
 
      C          D       G                  C 
But I watched as it flew back from where it came
