Evaporated - Ben Folds Five
Tabbed by Susan Berry misty@midac.com.au


This is a really beautiful song, and good to sing too, although a bit hard to reach the high note! ;-)
I'd really like someone to tell me if I've tabbed the bridge right tho, it was a bit tricky.

INTRO
F#      Bbm     B       C#      
F#      Bbm     B       C#


VERSE
F#            Bbm           B                C#  
What I've kept with me, and what I've thrown away
     F#                  Bbm
And where the hell I've ended up
        B             C#
On this glary, random day
         Ebm             B                C#         F#
Were the things I really cared about just left along the way
    B
For being too pent up and proud


VERSE
F#              Bbm          B             C#
Woke up way too late feeling hung over and old
        F#              Bbm
And the sun was shining bright 
             B                     C#
And I walked barefoot down the road
        Ebm               B
Started thinking about my old man
   C#             F#   
It seems that all men
        B
Want to get into a car and go


Bbm B
Anywhere
 

CHORUS
       B     C# 
Here I stand
        F#   Bbm
Sad and free
            B   C#
And I can't cry
            Bbm
And I can't see
          B    C#
What I've done
   

   B         C#     B    Bbm
Oh God, what have I done?


INTRO


VERSE
So don't you know I'm numb, man
No I don't feel a thing at all
Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I've faith there's a soul somewhere
That's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down


CHORUS


BRIDGE
   B         C#     B    Bbm  Ebm  
Oh God, what have I done?
C#     B           C#      F#  B
   And I poured my heart out
C#     B           C#      B
   And I poured my heart out
   F#   Bbm     B
It evaporated...see?

F#  Bbm  B  C#

VERSE
Blind man on a canyon's edge
Of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random
Dangling a strong
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind

CHORUS

INTRO (twice)
