Death Cab for Cutie - My Mirror Speaks
from The Open Door EP
This is my first posted tab and the first attempt at this song so it's
open for suggestions, it's a rough draft.
Ben uses a B at the end of the verse progression as a transition back to
C#m. So sometimes the E is played for only half the time with the B. You just
have to listen and you'll see what I mean.

VERSE
C#m E(and E riff)
With every sun that sets I am feeling more
A E B (transition)
like a stranger on a foreign shore
Repeat..
The first E riff (something like this)
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------4-----------4-----------|
D|----2-4s6--6p4-7-7-7--6---4------|
A|---4-------------------------2h4-|
E|--0------------------------------|
Chorus
_____________________
Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
In a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
G# A transition B
with nothing on either end

The jist of the solo (but it's strummed, I don't know the exact
chords played)
e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------4-----------|
D|-------222-4-44-666-7-7-7--6---4------| 2x
A|---4-44---------------------------2h4-|
E|--------------------------------------|

Bridge (this is a little sketchy)
B B B - A - E E E - A - B B B - A - E E E
A new position for a different view
and nothing changes but the slightest hues
and I am standing face to face
_______________________
End
with nothing on either end
G# A B E(hold)
there's nothing on the end
