This song is relatively easy to play. I have seen this song written many different ways, but being a perfectionist, I believe I have the right way to play it. (Not saying I’m ‘perfect’ though). The song starts at (on the regular CD) -17:09-

Riff.1

Play all of that five times End Riff.1

(Riff.2[to make it easier])

Play this twice End Riff.2

Next play:
E ||---------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
B ||---------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
G ||--------------0------------|--------------0-----------|---------------0-----------|--------------0------------|

A ||------2--------------2-----|-------2-------------2----|-------2--------------2----|-------2--------------2----|
E ||---0-----------------------|---0----------------------|---0-----------------------|---0-----------------------|

Then play Riff.1 four times.
Afterwards, play Riff.2 (play it twice as said above)
After all of this is done play:

I thought it sounded good)

Let ring
That’s the end of the song! You did it!
Now the lyrics

Verse 1
Well I know the words
But I can’t really speak them
To you
And I hide all the pain
That I gained with my wisdom
From you
And I’m eaten alive
By what I hold inside
All the things that I live with
I can’t easily hide
And I’m left here with nothing
Nothing to live for
But you

Chorus
It’s not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I carry it with me
Until I’m not alive

Verse 2
When you look at my face
Does it seem just as ugly
To you
And I can’t seem to erase
All the scars that I’ve lived with
From you
I’m so sick of this place
And this taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can’t figure
What I’m all about
And I’m left here with nothing
Nothing to live for
But you

Chorus
