A
Green world, love the chloroform
Bm
Front porch in the thunderstorm
D               Bm              A
Controlled chaos, confused energy
 
A
So stop reading the weather charts
Bm
Stop counting the playing cards
D               Bm              A
There's no system, there's no guarantee
 
D                           E                   A
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
D                                 E             A   F#m
But you try, and all you do is just talk to the past
          Bm            E
Ask how are you getting on alone
 
A
Some wander the wilderness
Bm
Some drink cosmopolitans
D               Bm              A
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes
 
A
I can't tell where the canvas stops
Bm
Homesick as an astronaut
D               Bm              A
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain
 
D                       E                       A
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
D                       E                       A   F#m
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand
           Bm           E
Ask how are you getting on alone
 
A
What gauge measures miracles
Bm
Whose heartbeat's electrical
D               Bm              A
We feign sickness with our modern joy
 
A
But even Western medicine
Bm
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
D               Bm              A
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy
 
D                       E                       A
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
D                       E                       A    F#m
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
        Bm              E
Where are you going to alone
        Bm              E
Where are you going all alone

it's a similar chord progressin it sounds but ultimately flawed man, the version thats 1/2 step down even played in standard tuning sound more correct, u should check it out man, great job tabing it that way though don't get me wrong, keep it up hombre!
