This is an incredible song.. I haven't seen any correct tabs out there.. they've come 
close, but not exactly.  So hopefully I'll be able to do my best.  These guys just ROCK!! 
If you don't have this CD, I would recommend going out and buying it.

Tune guitar down half-step, and then Drop-D
(*=harmonic)

LYRICS

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I've found this in ignorance
The less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

-chorus:
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge, I'm about to break!

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found this in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Just like before...

-chorus-

Shutup when I'm talkin to you!
Shutup!
Shutup!
Shutup!
Shutup when I'm talkin to you!
Shutup!
Shutup!
Shutup!
Shut  up!!

-chorus-


There ya go... Let me know if there's any corrections that need to be made.  Adios.
