                     Am
And if I'm wasting my time
                      E5
Then nothing could be better
                      B5
Then hanging on the line
                      D5
And waiting for an honest word forever

And if you're saying goodbye
Please don't you think me bitter
For reciting every rhyme
From the book, the page, the line, the word, the letter



The next set of riffs are basically the same
Riffs one and two you add hammers and pulls
Riff three you just add:

e--0-----3p0
B----3p0----


Now the windows turning blue
And the water's overflowing
And I know that I'm a fool
For laughing at myself as you were going




This is my first tab.  I think that this is one of the White Stripe's best songs (one of the few good ones off their first album) and was surprised not to
find it anywhere.  Some of the lyrics might be a little off, but I think it's mostly correct. Any questions, comments, blah, blah,   dru6175aol.com
