Tabbed by: Ryan Sanders ([email protected])

This is an AWESOME song.. haven't seen any tabs for it anywhere, so I decided to give
it a try... it's not too hard, here ya go.


Chords used:
G     = 320033
Cadd9 = x32033
D     = xx0232
Am    = x02210

VERSE:
G            Cadd9        D     Cadd9
 Spend your lazy, endless crazy days inside my head
G             Cadd9                D    Cadd9
 You're so selfish, you're not the only one who thinks he's dead
G             Cadd9            D         Cadd9
 I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial for what you think I said

PRE-CHORUS:
D             Cadd9     Am                  D
 But I never said that everything would be okay
            Cadd9     Am                           D      Cadd9
And I never said that we would live to see another day

  ---3-3-3-3-2-0-2--2--2--2--3--3--3--3--------------3--3--3--3-|
  ---------------3--3--3--3-------------------------------------|

next verse, same progression as first: G Cadd9 D Cadd9

pre-chorus, same progression: D Cadd9 Am

play chorus again

I'll figure out the solo some other time... if anyone else wants to do it,
feel free!

play chorus again


Woohoo, there's the song!  How hard is that?  There are 2 guitars, and one guitar does
some other stuff behind the other guitar during the verses.. and I'm not sure if one guitar
also plays power chords (355xxx, etc..) in the chorus along with the other guitar who plays
the full chords.  If anyone has any feedback or input or corrections to make, please do
email me!  Have fun.
