Additional lyrics
Verse 2
When your speech is slow
When your eyes are closed
When you feel betrayed
When your heart is 'fraid
When your feet are cold
When your sights are low
Vocal adlib at end
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
When you decide you've had enough
When you decide you've had enough
When you are set to throw it in
When you've had enough
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
Throw it in
Throw it in

Play chord agressively
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 POWDERFINGER 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.
