This is my favorite song off of Pearl Jam's latest album Binaural.
I've
only had the album for a week, since it was released, but when I heard
this song I had to know how to play it. I think it is correct, it
sounds
like it to me :) I havn't yet tabbed the solos but I'll get to it when
I can.

This is my interpretation of the song and all work has been done by me.

VERSE
D Bm C
I've used hammers made out of wood.
A D
I have played games with pieces and rules.
Bm C
I've deciphered tricks at the bar,
A D
but now you're gone I havn't figured out why.
Bm C
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war.
A D
I've figured out numbers and what they're for.
Bm C
I've understood feelings and I've understood words,
A
but how could you be taken away.
CHORUS
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
And wherever you've gone,
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Bm
and wherever we might go.
A
It don't seem fair,
D
todays just disappear.
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
Your light's reflected now,
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Bm
Reflected from afar.
A
We were but stones,
D
your light made us stars.
BRIDGE
A C D A
VERSE
D Bm
With heavy breath,
C
awakened regrets,
A D
backpages and days alone that could have been spent,
Bm C
together, but we were miles apart,
A D
every inch between us becomes light years now.
Bm
No time to be void,
C
or to save up on life,
A
ah you've got to spend it all...
CHORUS
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
And wherever you've gone,
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Bm
and wherever we might go.
A
It don't seem fair,
D
you seemed to like it here.
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 D
Your light's reflected now,
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Bm
Reflected from afar.
A
We were but stones,
D
your light made us stars.
