band: A Perfect Circle
instrument: Bass
tabber:War}{awK (joey@roitband.com)
tuning: Drop 1.5 steps (C#-F#-B-E)
Notes: Rather tedious to tab cause the different variations in playing. I can see why no one but me
tabbed this song for a year or so. Anyways enjoy, hope my tab was *clear*

Back to Chorus w/ midchorus breakdown num 1,2
And then a buncha back and forth between those breakdowns. They are strange order so you

probably some errors, so all the bass gods out there fix em for me, im lazy.
