 Verse:


 


 Riff A, bass only


 


 Crawled away from me, slipped away from me


 Tried to keep you home, but there was nothing I could say


 


 Guitar enters, playing root notes with bass


 


 Slid away from me, crept away from me


 Tried to keep you down, but there was nothing I could say


 


 Riff A, full blast


 


 What you're tryin' to say is you don't want to play


 What you want and what you need don't mean that much to me


 


 Chorus:


 


 Riff C (time sig. changes to 9/8 - watch out!)
