The first bass (keyboard actually) riff is this:
[———————————————————-
———————————————————–
-5–5—5–5–1–1——–5–5–5—5–1——————-
——————–3–1——————3–1————-]
And then the guitar and weird keyboard stuff comes in.
The main guitar riff is this (palm mute the 6th string notes)
[———————————————————
———————————————————-
-7—–7-7—–7—–7-7———————————-
-7—–7-7—–7—–7-7—–8—–8——3–1————
-5—–5-5—–5—–5-5—–8—–8——3–1————
—0-0—–0-0—0-0—–0-0-8-8-8-8——3–1————]
Play this through the verse and between verses and choruses.
Sometimes there’s palm muted open 6th string notes instead
of the D power chords.
The chorus part is this:
[———————————————————–
———————————————————–
—–7–7-7————–5–5-5–3-3-3–3-3—————-
—–5–5-5————–3–3-3–1-1-1–1-1—————-
—–5–5-5————–3–3-3–1-1-1–1-1—————-
-5-5-5–5-5-6x, then-3-3-3–3-3–1-1-1–1-1—————-]
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
The past few years have been so trying
Between the drugs and the drinking and the touring
And in my eyes I’m stabilized
And all I need is you, someone who understands
Chorus:
I know you now, the shortest yet
And we’ve just met
I thought that you’d be different, then again
You came off strange but still the same as what I know
I try and try and then I’m alone again
Verse 2:
Now my life’s become a challenge
Because my confidence has been decreased profoundly
And in my mind I realize
I’m stuck on a worthless hill, with no one who understands
