>From the album Vitalogy
Transcription by Mark van 't Zet (tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl)



This song is played in the key of F, and requires tuning up
the 1st and 2nd string to respectively F and C. You can also
capo the 1st fret and play it as E- and A-shapes.
Furthermore I'll abbreviate the chordnames if you
don't mind :-)

  Once divided nothing left to subtract
  Some words when spoken can't be taken back
  Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
  Future's above but in the past he's slow and sinking

VERSE

  She once believed in every story he had to tell
  One day she stiffened took the other side
  Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
  One just escapes one is left inside the well
