'I Hate It Too' by Hum
from the album 'You'd Prefer An Astronaut'
use dropped-D tuning (tune your low E string down to D)
Listen to the song for timing; I haven't tabbed every single chord
stroke (that last chord in verse progression is sometimes played
once, sometimes 4x), and Hum has two guitars to my one, but this
will get you pretty close.

....how it all goes together...
(verse chord progression - no distortion)
morning grey ignites a twisted mess
of foreign shapes and sounds
I wish the ceiling was the ground
I'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun
to help me make up for this one
while you send me tidal waves of love
when you're alone and I can't remember what you do
define a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue
and bring me faithful back to you
(chorus chord progression - no distortion)
and she don't hold me right
shes never gonna get me there
and she don't hold me right
shes never gonna get me there
not tonight
(verse chord progression with distortion)
if we break off gently its the motion
spinning outward into space
my hand always firm and gently at the wheel
while you sweetly hold my face
and I need you to give it meaning
I need you to share the view
or it becomes a time for me to love myself
like every other thing I do
(chorus again, and then back to verse progression)
