Teething by Deftones
From The Crow: City of Angels Soundtrack
Written by Deftones
Tabbed by Brock La Voie

This is a song that i love, and is one of my favorite Deftones songs.
However, the lyrics are blurry to me, so that section is kinda screwy.
Good luck anyway.

Lyrics:

It's really hard to understand Chino sometimes, but here are my screwed
up interpretations.

First is mine, don't whine,
I found you first,
They won't find inside you,
But if I should find or even see you,
Make you smile,
I look over and cry,
I get by!

But that's too bad,
You get your grip,
Look at yourself,
You ain't no genius,
But look inside,
You won't find me,
I'm coming open,

First is waiting for,
I came to see,
Liquify the momma,
Fuck you, bitch,
ptthpbtithpthptahptn
I know it because I'm sick,
pbthhtpaabnb!

Chorus

Structure is something like this:

That's all for now, if there's anything you want to comment on, just
e-mail me.
Especially if you have the words to this great friggin' song.
