This is my first attempt at transcribing a song. I hope you like it.
 
The chord names are fucked up.
 
Intro:
 
(In the acoustic version Bixler plays the Cm as major and only strums the top four
strings. You can do the same if you like.)
 
Cm   Eb/   Bb   Ab
 
Verse:
 
Cm                Eb
     Step on the tracks
Bb                Ab
     Feel you're alive
Cm                Eb
     It's not any worse
Bb                Ab
     Closer in time
 
Chorus: (all G's in this song are barres.)
 
            Eb      Bb
It's like a Per --- fect picture of
F/C           Ab
     Ordinary life
            Eb      Bb
You hit the bot --- tom
F/C                     Ab
     To see if you're alive
G                       Ab
     You'll be here some time
G                       Ab
     Traces   in  your  eyes
 
Verse (as above):
 
Bending backwards to look behind
Pushing forward, killing in time
You thought it would change in time
You thought it would change your mind
You thought you'd be first in line
You thought it would change your life
 
Chorus (as above):
 
It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive
You'll be here some time
Traces in your eyes
 
Bridge/Refrain:
 
(The strumming pattern changes here so listen to the record to get it down. This
can be played many ways, the acoustic version is nothing like this.)
 
Cm     Eb      Bb
 
Ab                                    Cm         Eb       Bb
You'll be better off not wasting your time
Ab                                    Cm         Eb       Bb
A sentimental heart is always last in line
Ab                                    G(barre)   Bb
A sentimental heart is always last in line

It's like a perfect picture of
Ordinary life
You hit the bottom
To see if you're alive
