Intro: The intro verse is that sappy
little riff- I've figured it
out but you might want to have a
go at it. Here are the chords for it-
d b g a
e-2--7--3--5-----
B-3--7--3--5-----
G-2--4--0--2-----
D----------------
A----------------
E----------------
(You don't play these like chords,
you pluck each string- I'm not really
sure of how it goes so I couldn't
really tab it. But just make the chord
and fool around with it until it sounds
right- it's fairly simple. Play it through
once and then sing the verse.)
d
First Time I saw you I was
b
driving in my car
g
you smiled at me
a
as you drove by.
d
Next time I saw you I was
b
drinking in a bar
(now you use the power chords)
G A
Just trying to save the world.
D
And right now as time goes by
And still you're stuck inside my mind
B
And in my pen and in my head
and in my cigarettes in bed
G
I want you now
A
Please tell me how.
D
When I go to bed at night
I just can't sleep you're on my mind
B
You're in my brain, I've gone insane
And my life is one big pain.
G
I want you now
A
Please tell me how.
Chorus:
G A D C# B
I'm just trying to save the world
G
from you
A D
from girls like you
(slow)
D
Then three weeks later you were
B
sleeping next to me.
G
When I woke up from sleep
A
it was just a dream.
(fast)
D
And right now as time goes by
And still you're stuck inside my mind
B
And in my pen and in my head
and in my cigarettes in bed.
G
You've fucked me up,
A
now I give up.
D
Maybe you could call it fate
I saw you twice in the same day
B
Once in a car, once in a bar
You've given me a mental scar
G
You fucked me up
A
now I give up.
Chorus.
Outro: At the end of the chorus just sing
"from you, from girls like-" then play
a progression of Dii-Eii-F#ii-Aii eight times.
If you know the song you'll know what I'm
talking about.
