The Center of the World Bright Eyes
No one posted any versions of this,
so even though this is probably way off in many ways,
it's better than nothing.
To people who are actually good at transcription:
Please work off this and finish the rest of the song,
I would love you for it.

Verse is: G, Bm, Am, C, D.
I haven't figured out the rhythm guitar for the part
following the verse, but little organ thing might go
use these notes, not sure about that third one,
i think it may be f#.
d:|7---5--5h7--7--2| etc.
and at the end, where the guitar comes in now and then:
(t = 10)

[G]At the center of the [Bm]world there's a statue of a [Am]girl
She is standing near a [C]well with a [D]bucket bare and [G]dry
I went and looked her in the [Bm]eyes and she turned me into [Am]sand
This clumsy form that I des[C]pise, it scattered [D]easy in her [G]hand
It came to rest upon a [Bm]beach with a million others [Am]there
We sat and waited for the [C]sea to stretch out so that [D]we could disap[G]pear
Into the endlessness of [Bm]blue into the horror of the [Am]truth
See, we are far less than we [C]knew, yeah, we are [D]far less than we [Em]knew
[Em]But we knew what we could [C]taste
[Em]Girls found honey to drench our hands
The men cut marble to mark our [B]graves
[B]Said we'll need something to re[G]mind us of
All the sweetness that has [B]passed through us
The priests dressed children for a [Em]choir
But found no joy in what was [B]sung
[B]The [C]funeral [D]had [D]be[G]gun
[G]In the middle of the [Bm]day when you drive home to your [Am]place
From that job that makes you [C]sleep back to the [D]thoughts that keep you a[G]wake
Long after night has come to [Bm]claim any light that still re[Am]mains
In the corner of the [C]frame that you [D]put around her [G]face
Two [Bm]pills just weren't enough
The [Am]alarm clock's going off but you're not waking up
This isnt [C]happening happening happening happening [D]happening
It is[G]
