Nothingman on guitar

Perhaps I'm merely a retard, but I'm playing exactly what the tabs/chords say on Giventowail.com, and it don't sound right. All the other sites have it starting on an F, but I the GTW has the right idea about it being capoed on the 5th fret. I can't get it right.

Any suggestions?

    When this just feels like spinning plates.
  • this is how i play it with Capo on 5 and tune your B string up to C

    it is far from perfect but sounds ok/recognisable

    Once divided, nothing left to subtract
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5
    Some words when spoken can't be taken back
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5
    Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5 A5
    Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
    F5 G6 F5 Em F5 G6
    Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go

    Isn't it something? Nothingman


    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5
    She once believed in every story he had to tell
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5
    One day she stiffened, took the other side
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5
    Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
    Cmaj7 A5 G6 A5 F5 A5
    One just escapes, one's left inside the well
    F5 G6 F5 Em F5 G6
    And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh


    Cmaj7 F5 G6
    Nothingman, nothingman

    Isn't it something? Nothingman


    A5 F5 G6
    Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him)
    F5 A5 F5 G6 A5
    Oh, she won't feed him, after he's flown away
    F5 Em F5
    Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun
    G6
    Burn, burn, burn burn
