Some harmonics are played at the end, but I can't figure them out.
[Chorus]
(Only ambient guitar is played here; so here are the approximate chords.)
F Dm Am
These western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with
Fmaj7 Dm
But don't you, don't you know it's hard feeling tired
Am
Every time that you try
F Dm Am
Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time
[Transition with only drums and bass, same chords as verse if you want to play them]
C
The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawnmowers
Am
And the novelist to my right's convinced that every woman's a whore
[Solo]
This solo has 3 guitar parts overlapped. Guitar 1 is the most prominent,
Guitar 2 is fairly in the background, and Guitar 3 comes in on the 5th bar fairly loud.

Take note that after playing this twice, the bass goes to an F and E in the bass
instead of a C and A. This doesn't change the guitar part but if you're working out
a solo version you should keep this in mind.
(Guitar 2)
Go reckless, unharmed...
