Jack Johnson Lyrics, Tabs & Chords for "You And Your Heart"

Jack Johnson - You And Your Heart
(edit April 3rd 2010: To play this song in the key of the album version put a capo on the 2nd fret)
I'm excited about Jack's new album "To the Sea". It's out on June 1st 2010.
This song is the first single from it.
This is not tabbed after the album version, which I have not heard yet, but after an acoustic version I heard on BBC Radio 2, performed by Jack Johnson and Zach Gill from ALO.
I hope I got the chords mostly right, this is at least a simple way to play the song. The lyrics were somewhat hard to hear, but I think they're about right.
Enjoy! :)

Every chord has 4 beats, except the last part of the chorus where the F and F# chords share two beats each.

LYRICS:
Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, you broken king
Watch you change the frame or
watch you when you take your aim
at the sum of everything

'cos you and your heart
shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break
and make it feel so hard

(intro)

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you're not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don't like
It's just so easy
It's just so easy

But you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

(no F# this time around)

But you and your heart
Shouldn't feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

Go from the last F into F#, then...

Funky instrumental break:
Chords: G F x 4 then hold D for two bars (8 beats)

TAB:
e-----------------
b-----------------
g------4----------
d--5-5--------2-3- REPEAT 4 times
a-------3-3-3-----
E-----------------



C-section: G C x 4 --> D D
Draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you're gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and...

G C x 4 --> D D
Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away

End on G
