from "Friction, Baby"
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)



Some of the lyrics are wrong, but close. :)



	Verse 1: (rhythm figure 1, clean)

e --1-----0--------3------------
B --1-----0h1p0----3------------
G --2-----2--------4------------
D --3-----2------5-5------------
A --3-----0------5-5------------
E --1------------3-3--3h5p3h5---

                         ^ (this part doesn't start until

                            the 3rd time you play it)



Past the road to your house

That you never called home

Where they turned out the lights

Though they say you'll never know



	Chorus (clean):

F		Am		

I remember running through the wet grass

G	    Csus2

Falling a step a behind

F		Am

Both of us never tiring

G		Csus2

Desperately wanting



	Verse 2 (r.f. 1, clean):

When they pumped out your guts

Filled you full of those pills

You were never quite right

Deserving all the chills



	Verse 3 (r.f. 1, distortion):

The say the worst is over

Kicked it over and ran

Then they asked what went wrong

When they turn you on again...

They turn you on again



Chorus (2x, distorted)



	Verse 4 (r.f. 1, clean):

Kick 'em right in the face

Make them wish they weren't born

And if they bring up your name

Wekk they'll say you won the war

 

	Verse 5 (r.f. 1, distortion):

Baby burst in the world

Never given a chance

Then they ask what when wrong

When you never had it right,

No, you never had it right...



Chorus (2x, distorted)



	Bridge (distorted):

D-C-G (2x)

D	   C		G		D

Ooo, the letters they have dropped off

	   C		  G		D

Though they say you got them all

	  C	    G

I finally figured out some 

C-C-C

Things you'll never know



	"Solo" (distorted):

e ----------------------------------x/\--
B ----------------------------------x/\--
G ----------------------------------x/\--
D ----------------------------------x/\--	  (4x)
A --------3----3h5-3-2---5--3--2--3-x/\--
E ---3-----------------3------------x/\--



	Verse 6 (r.f. 1, clean):

Take back your life

Let me inside

We'll find the door

If you care

If you care to anymore



	Chorus (4x, distorted, last two times with

              "Kevin Griffin la's & oh's" and "care")
