This is another great song by ska-core aces Telegraph, known until
recently as the Skolars. These are my version of the lyrics, and are
probably filled with mistakes, but I'm sure of the chords.
Intro: (* means played quickly)

C D Bb

Bb C D C Bb
Bb C D C Hi F
Verse is played ska-style, with this progression repeated
4 times. Listen to the CD for the rhythym, you'll pick it up in a flash.
Progression: (4x)
F C Dm Bb
E---8---8---5---6---
B--10---8---6---6---
G--10---9---7---7---
D--10--10---7---8---
A-------------------
E-------------------
Verse:
Them and them and you could tell I was right where you were before you
reached the phone with no return. Well you're looking down at me and I'm
looking up at you and I'm thinking to myself were we just equals? Explain
to me, ha, and talk to me. Well all you do is point at me, it's such a
misery. Yeah, it's a principle the obstacles you lift but isn't it an
honor to take the next step?
Bridge(Play Bb-C(2x) with same chord formations as verse)
We'll put it in your face, but you can't hold up. You don't really care,
I'll keep it to myself then.
Verse:
Why you tellin people you don't think that I belong? All that's said
tears me apart, and tell it to my face, so tell me if you can just what
it is you do. Well I ain't done yet, so I could feel rest. Well I could
be less than the person that I am, the person I became, the person you
don't run around. Screw me and fight over something someone said, but
there's just no way, that I'm gonna go now! Hey! Hey!
Then play chorus
followed by chorus chords over this:
I want feet first, you want head first (3x) yeah!
Then play chorus again, and that's it!
I hope this makes some sense to you. E-mail me with any suggestions,
comments, etc.

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 TELEGRAPH 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.
