 We meet Dface to face Galways risking absDurdity.

GWondering will you Dtire of me, it's a sleight of Ahand.

 Well I Dbet you won't catch me, catch me if you Gcan.

 The world's a Dwonderful place

 If you Gdon't mind laughing at Dyour mistakes,

 If you Gdon't mind feeling like you've Dlost your brakes,

 And if you don't Amind a touch of Bmhell every now and thDen.

 You Ddon't really know me,

 The Gwatery muck flowing Dthrough my veins?

 The Gpsycho-babble Don my brain,

 Well it's all the Arage. Bm

BmAnd it drives men Awild,

 This life unBmseen,

 And I'll do Aanything

To come clean.

REPEAT

DWhen did everything change?

 Is this aGche some new twist on Dgrowing pains.

GHolding a fist 'til the Dblood is drained

 The nails dig Ain. They may break your Bmskin every now and Dthen. G

 Now I'm Dyearning disabled

 LoGnging for nothing I'm Dcertain of.

GSomehow reluctant to Drise above

 All the Arage. Bm

BmAnd it drives men Awild,

 This life uBmnseen.

 Tonight I'll do Aanything, sweet Jesus,

To come clean.

Ritard

let ring

Notes: 1. Although Brian is usually playing the power chords on the

bottom three strings, sometimes he throws in the open higher strings

too especially at the end of a phrase.

2. The main melodic riff can be used any time you have the D to G

chord pattern; listen for when Brian does and when he doesn't.

3. Most of the treble noodling is done by Jason around fairly

conventional fingerings for the chords. If you find yourself wanting

to hear notes in certain places, try to add them.

4. My reference point is how H&F played it circa 1996 so there may be

some discrepancies with the version on "Live" especially in the melodic

riff.

5. I tried to make rhythms clear, but they are--of

course--approximate.
