1.  I look at a photograph
    It's like you're looking back
    Forehead pressed against the window

2.  I need a life-sized washing machine
    I'd set the cycle for extra clean
    Let the bubbles erase every

3.  Yellow flowers on the tabletop
    I need this chapter in the book to stop
    I broke myself trying to

4.  One tiny sock on the bedroom floor
    That tiny sock taught me what my heart was for
    One tiny sock, and nothing

5.  I'm packing up, the scene of a crime

    When did it happen and

Jewel's guitar is tuned standard, but a half step down

So from the base string first:
Eb ... Ab ... Db... Gb... Bb .... Eb

But that only matters if you're playing along with the album as backup.

Thanks, Jess! Tabs are the current iteration's weak point on the wiki I think.

[Jessica]

I'm way behind on this stuff, but I'm trying to get caught up.

I need to think of a way to optimize this stuff for mobile, too. I needed some Wiki at karaoke (i just bring my own guitar, lol) and it's pretty rough on the phone.

This song is pleasant to play absent-mindedly while watching a movie. If you like to fidget with your guitar, this song is perfect.
