       =============


       {Here is tab for opening riff that goes throughout the song:}

        (B)  ----1--------1----------           {Notes in ()'s are optional,}
        (G)  ---(2)------(2)---------           {when one is  above another,}
        (D)  -(0)-----(0)-----2------           {play them together         }
        (A)  -2------3------2------0--..strum Am

       {play riff}
        The sun

       {continue with riff}

        You're funny and you don't know why
        You're funny and you can't even cry
        You're funny and you don't know why
        You're funny and you don't even try
                     F                         C
        Cause your head's shaking cause your arms are shaking
                   F                           G
        And your feet are shaking cause the earth is shaking

        { play as before with riff}

        You're hungry and you don't know why
        You're hungry and you can't even cry
        You're hungry and you don't know why
        You're hungry and you don't even cry

         {at this point in the song, the riff is altered slightly,
          it looks something like this....
                                                           (E) -- 15 --
                                                           (B) -- 15 --
       (G) ---------0-----0--      -2-1-2-1-
       (D) -------2----------  Am  ---------   G   G
       (A) -0-2-3------2-----      ---------
       {let's see, the lyrics..    "nothing   can hurt      you "

        You take a walk and you try to understand
        Nothing can hurt you
        Unless you want it to
        There are no answers
        Many reasons to be strong
        You take a walk you take a walk
        You take a walk and you try to understand

       {break  like chorus    F   C   F   G}

        {go back to opening riff}

        You're in love and you don't know why
        You're in love and you can't even cry
        You're in love and you don't know why
        You're in love and you don't even try

        Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
        Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

        He's cooking in the woods a brush fire in your neck

        Take your island off he's got a gun
