INTRO

A /   D /   D2 /   D3 /   B //////

Em  G/F#  G (X4)

VERSE 1
A          G     A                G          A
Follow the crowd    and love everybody now

                   G                      Em2  G/F#  G
'Cause love is the best thing for you now

A                    G     A              G          A
But you changed your mind,   you let everybody down

                G
But down is the best place for you

     Em2    G/F# G
It's easier that way, you know it's


CHORUS
D         D2
So wrong, can't embrace it

D3                 B          Em2
Wish sometimes for any other you

    G/F# G             Em2     G/F# G
But you can't erase it,    and you won't escape it


VERSE 2 (Same as VERSE 1)

Don't waste your time, your words only confine you
To all of the things you've buried now
Don't ask them why, their wisdom will leave you blind
But blind is the best thing for you
It's easier I know, you know it's

CHORUS

How long will you face it


'Till the wait comes crashing down on you

That's it!!!  I'm not sure of the exactity of this tab, but I tried
to get it as close as I couldI love this song because Jars of Clay
always uses great melodies, and this particular song has great drums
(especially when they are saying "any other you").  Jars of Clay is
definitely one of my favorite bands.
