| capoing, though): |
| Another thing is that the Bm riff is just Bm played staccato eight times, if |
| you know the song, you will know what I am talking about. The reason why it |
| does not sound like the Bm chord playing over and over is because the |
| bassline walks up the C# minor scale. (Remember when you play Bm with a capo |
| on the second fret, you are really playing C#m). Okay: |

| Went | to the top just to bud | everyone |
| D | G | |
| Wanted to win, tie yourself with a string, and steal | everything |
| D | G | |
| You took em | skin on skin, laid em down | in the rain |

| Bm riff |
| Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon |
| G | |
| As I | saw my arteries down on dividers |
| Bm riff |
| And I was here at the Hoot, between the cup and the loot |
| G | |
| As I | strut down under the lightening love |
| Bm riff |
| As she cut all the strings that I tied to her wings |
| G | D | |
| Leaving | me... in the | dark |
| F#m | Bm | |
| Still just be a | part |
| A | G | |
| And she | never see me at | all |
| A Aaug |
| D G D G... |
