^ (this part doesn't start until
the 3rd time you play it)
Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you'll never know
Chorus (clean):
F Am
I remember running through the wet grass
G Csus2
Falling a step a behind
F Am
Both of us never tiring
G Csus2
Desperately wanting
Verse 2 (r.f. 1, clean):
When they pumped out your guts
Filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
Verse 3 (r.f. 1, distortion):
The say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they asked what went wrong
When they turn you on again...
They turn you on again
Chorus (2x, distorted)
Verse 4 (r.f. 1, clean):
Kick 'em right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Wekk they'll say you won the war
Verse 5 (r.f. 1, distortion):
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what when wrong
When you never had it right,
No, you never had it right...
Chorus (2x, distorted)
Bridge (distorted):
D-C-G (2x)
D C G D
Ooo, the letters they have dropped off
C G D
Though they say you got them all
C G
I finally figured out some
C-C-C
Things you'll never know

Verse 6 (r.f. 1, clean):
Take back your life
Let me inside
We'll find the door
If you care
If you care to anymore
Chorus (4x, distorted, last two times with
"Kevin Griffin la's & oh's" and "care")
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BETTER THAN EZRA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
