Verse:
D
Had a scratch only you could itch
Dmaj7
Underneath the Glebe Point Bridge
F#m
And now every boy in a knitted vest
FmMaj7b5
Has got some precedent
D
So we took a personality pill
Dmaj7
And something red to swill
F#m
And now every fire has gone out
FmMaj7b5
in every heart that wanted to kill
A (quickly A Asus4)
Let's call it a day
Verse 2:
Every thought that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is around
'cause there ain't no room in the city today
For explanations that you just can't say
Found out what shame can mean
In purple sneakers and grey jeans
And every walked to a school that once made sense
Sure felt like an accident
Let's call it a day
VERSE RIFF 1
Chorus:
D A
For every trouble you found
Bm Em
There's a drink to lose it and drown
CHORUS RIFF:
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?
Verse:
Every day that once had a sound
We'll have to hide 'til no one is in town
I don't hate I just feel better
When no one else is around
So we'll take a personality pill
And something red to swill
And now every fire has gone out
in every heart that wanted to kill
Let's call it a day
Chorus:
For every trouble you found
There's a drink to lose it and drown
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?
You can shave a million ways
To make *** sure that the twelve in you stays
But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

repeat until end. Remember to windmill.
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 YOU AM I 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.
