I have had a lot of requests for this song in particular. This could be one
of their best songs and it is written by Dan Murphy. If you have any
comments/suggestions please email me at: TJGriffey@aol.com.

You can either pick the individual notes for this part or strum the G and C
chord formations.
Verse 1:
D G F#(single note) Em C D G
C D G
Now everybody's looking after me
C D G F# Em
If I'm draggin' by some coat tail I can't see it's too dark
C D G
But I've got to know what's got the best of me
C D G
When the circus that you've left goes on parade
C D G F# Em
In those bleacher seats so far in your charade it's too far
C D
But I'm feeling like I don't dare look away
Riff A
Verse 2:
Did it almost make you feel like something's gonna happen soon
When you wake up feeling lost in your own room
If you're crying in your beer you're gonna drown
If you think we'll rise above you better look around you'll see
It's a mountain made of sand comin' under me
Maybe I'm chasing shadows on your walls
They loom so large, but make me feel so small so hard
When you're chasing your own tails spinnin' your own wheels
Bridge
Riff A
I'm goona try to leave, when the world's so full of everything
I'd tried to leave, I've tried to see, I've tried everything without looking
away
Verse 3:
Did it almost make you feel that something's gonna happen soon
You're in the movies now and I'm in your cartoon
There's a ringing in your ears that's heaven sent
There's a feast out on the ruins, some broken down lover's were meant
It goes on and on but it won't go away
Solo (same as Riff A but in a different position)
Riff A

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 SOUL ASYLUM 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.
