B X B X
it's been running for a long time and it's running out in my mind
C#m Esus4 E
I can't explain it all to you, it's really jumbled up
B X B X
so for longer now I messed up and I'm wishing now I fessed up
C#m N.C.
that concern's no use to you, it feeds the pain that's done
CHORUS 1: {instrumental; w/rhy.fig.1}
VERSE 2: {w/rhy.fig 2}{w/first bar of guitar solo}
B X B X
so forget how I am dealin', explain to me the feelin'
C#m Esus4 E
it gets to that point instantly, you're ready to unload
B X B X
and I'm the one you're spitting at, I'm ready for my fitting in
C#m N.C.
doesn't make much sense, but when I get it calm it's slow
CHORUS 2: {instrumental; w/rhy.fig.1; w/guitar solo *}
* play first measure in verse 2; last measure in verse 3
bars correspond with rhy.fig.1 time signature
SOLO (guitar 3) {tablature is not related to capo position}

it's hard to admit anything, I'm sorry for the weight I bring
C#m Esus4 E
do whatever's necessary to make your mind glow soft
B X B X

C#m Esus4 E
so I'm out and take a walk and we'll be better off
