Konstantine
Something Corporate

Okay, I haven't found a version online that I really liked (or that sounded
complete played only on an acoustic guitar), so I decided to throw this together.
Please note that I'm not aiming for a 100% correct, complete tab, just something
that I can play on my acoustic that conveys the song well enough to enjoy. After
all, it is a piano based song, so it would be hard to play it exactly the same.

Chords (probably not the correct names, just stabs in the dark):
For verse...
Bb    - x133xxx     ----> x132xx
F/D   - x532xxx     ----> x533xx
Bb/G  - 3x33xx      ----> 3x32xx
Eb/Bb - 668xxx      ----> 667xxx

What the arrows above mean: on the D and G strings, the fingers pretty much stay
around the 3 frets, but it sounds good to throw in the arrow-listed chords while
playing the main chord. Listen to the song to hear what I mean... the piano
alternates between the notes. 

For chorus...
Bb/D  - 5587xx   
Eb    - x688xx 
F/C   - x81010xx  (just a 'power chord' F at the 8th fret on the A string)
Bb    - 688xxx
Bb/A  - 588xxx
Gm    - 3553xx

Note: all chords are palm muted, except for during the chorus, or whenever else
you feel motivated to change... if you want to try to pick out the pattern, go
for it. In general, throw some other notes in there as well if you want...
whatever makes YOU happy.
 
Here's the gist of it:
(Verse)


Bb                      F/D
I can't imagine all the people that you know

        Bb/G
and the places that you go

         Eb/Bb
when the lights are turned down low


(Chorus)
Bb/D   Eb           F   Bb  Bb/A    (x2)
and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that you're alone, no

                                      Bb   Bb/A  Gm
and I'm sleeping in your living room

         Eb        F              
we don't have much room... to live/love

And that just about wraps it up. Throw some bongos in there, and you've got
yourself a campfire waiting to happen. Any questions, comments, email me at
flat9250@wlu.ca.

Enjoy!

	i am now in total love with this song, its so moving and goes through a range of emotions. This song is very special and will forever have a place in my heart

No Picture Jake Average	#2 by Jake m at Oct 17, 1982 at 4:19 AM EST
	This song is so beautiful. I can't identify with it, but I absolutely love hearing his voice and the melodic music. I have both a live version and then this version and the lyrics change slightly, but its still so wonderfully amazing. All of their songs I've listened to are amazing and I can say I seriously love these guys. Bravo.

No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#3 by Master Shaïtan at Nov 17, 1983 at 2:30 PM EST
	This song is absolutely beautiful. Every time I hear it, my heart aches a little bit more as I think of past relationships. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it has this amazing effect on me.

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#4 by michael Dittrich at Apr 7, 1984 at 1:21 PM EST
	yeah this song is good. about the jimmy eat world, in their song called "this is heaven for me " the first line is: when the first star you see may not be a star" just thought that i would clarufy for you all.

No Picture paddy Average	#5 by paddy coscoran at Apr 7, 1990 at 7:11 PM EST
	There are no words to describe the beauty of this song.

No Picture a Average	#6 by a a at Dec 1, 2001 at 2:28 AM EST
	konstantine is the name of the girl its about. there are various versions of the name such as konstantina (a secretary at my dads office). the jimmy eat world reference, they were listening to jimmy eat world in his car. 'for me this is heaven' to be exact. that is why they quote the song. as for the overall effect of the song, i have never had a song make me cry as much as this one. ive stayed up all night listening to this song, drinking because of a broken heart. my applause to something corporate, for making such a beautiful song. one of the best love songs ever written.
