Ididnt take my time in timming it but just listen to the song

             (Verse One)
F	G	  C	--Em
It's the perfect time of year
F                    G                        C            --Em
Somewhere far away from here
F                    G                        C            --Em
I feel fine enough I guess
F                    G                        C            --Em
Considering everything's a mess
F                    G                        C            --Em
There's a restaurant down the street
F                    G                        C            --Em
Where hungry people like to eat
F                    G                        C            --Em
I could walk but I'll just drive
 D                        C                         --D
It's colder than it looks outside

              (Chorus one):
C                                              D
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
C                                              D
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
C                                                      G                                F
When you try to see the world beyond your front door....

(Repeat Chorus One)  C  D C  D C  G  F

Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for

(Verse 2) Repeat as verse One
F  G  C Em----D C
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
Change in to some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
And sleep away the afternoon

(Chorus 2) Reapeat as Chorus one
C  D C  D  G  F
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
G        C      Em     F                  G   C    Em   F
Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still a----sleep
G        C      Em     F    G      C          Em   F
Please God tell me that I'm still a-------sleep

(repeat as Verse one)

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave, but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

Repeat as chorus one and two)

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

All of the hammer-ons are very fast.  Ed improvs in the chords as well, 
which is why I labeled them above the tab.  You can throw in additional 
string picks in that chord to give a fuller sound.

(repeat pattern as above)
It's the perfect time of day

Climb the stairs up to my room

Sleep away the afternoon

It's like a thing you try to remember when its gone

Then ya try to scream and it only comes out as yawn

I just made you say underwear

I could leave but I'll just stay

All my stuff's here anyway

Chorus 

etc.etc.  Sorry this song really sucks- It's way more complicated than I've written, but I promise to eventually
have all the cool little riffs in. For now, enjoy the 4 chords I've given you, even though there's actually like 50.

Lyrics:
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
Change in to some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
And sleep away the afternoon

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still asleep
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave, but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for
