OK, i'm not sure i'm right about this cause i suck at hearing chords
in songs but maybe someone can correct me if i'm wrong. Brad uses
some kind of effects for the guitar that makes it sound pretty cool.
This song is fucking awesome.

I think these are the only two chords used the whole song
but the strumming should be correct.



I'm not too sure about this bassline either but try it out.
I don't have a bass so i have to play it on guitar but it's
basically C and G still.

Lyrics:

The time has come
to reach a new realization
'tween me and you,
time to clear the rumors, sensations,
and things that just are not true.

Well I thought I heard you behind me,
with a knife straight for my back.
It's quite clear that I'm back in the swing of living,
although I might not be on the right track.

Oh, thought I might drown but its hard to keep givin'.
Downtown's where you'll find me, do some and got a hand.
Although I never listen girl, I damn well understand.
And you think, I'm so damn feeble.
I can't see through your lies, you're just a crock of shit,
with a pretty smile, and I refuse to compromise.

Oh, you'll give me such a heavy, heavy, heavy load.
(bassline solo comes in)

You may hold some vision of truth, if truth can be found in a lie.
Maybe some grain of inspiration, for song thats deep inside.

Oh, tears, running down your face,
you're screaming look me in the eye.
Well I'm looking straight at your twisted face,
and it's enough to make me cry.

Oh, the path is there
for those who want to pay the price of loving you,
in more ways than one.
Wrapped around your finger,
but I think my time has come,
but I never, can be too sure,
cause I like to have a little fun.

Oh, what fun it would be to blow my mind and fall into the sun.

A mind, is a precious thing to taste.


Good luck, and enjoy.  email me for questions or comments at
