(same pattern as first verse)
We're the type, we live and learn, scatter my ashes then you smash the urn.
Into a broken room, with 25 doors that you can open.
And each time you open one, the other 24, they're explodin, explodin.
(same as above)
That's the thing about livin, when you get there you take what you're given
And all your best friends are people you just met.
You can take em or you leave em, they're sittin in this barroom,
but I guess that beats the hell outta lonliness,
C D C D C D G C G C D C D C D G C G
sweet lonliness, sweet lonliness, sweet
D G C G C D
New suit, new tie, a real nice service for me when I die.

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 HEADSTONES 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.
