THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND!!! This is how I play it, and it may not mean  
it's right. But it's a great song. Comments & suggestions, welcome. 
 
 
INTRO:  
 
chord is a D5, structured x0023x 
the little riff played over it looks like this: 
 
 
 
NOTE: the '7s5s4' is one fluid motion 
h=hammer 
p=pick off 
 
D5 
It's hard to rely on my good intentions 
When my head's full of things that I can't mention 
G 
It seems I usually get things right 
But I can't understand what I did last night 
 
(INTRO AGAIN) 
 
D5 
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses 
When I miss so much that requires attention 
G 
I have to laugh at myself sometimes 
And I can't see that I'm not blind 
 
A 
 

               D5 
There's little relief 
Give us reprieve 
Ho-oh 
     G 
For all the things I've left behind 
		      A 
I'm positive that I'm not blind
 
 
Here's the little riff played over the D5 chord in the chorus (it's only  
one the B string) 
 
B ---8-7-5-3------------------ 
 
 
BACK TO INTRO 
 
 
D5 
I'm not afraid that things won't get better 
But it feels like this has gone on forever 
G 
You have to cry with your own good tears 
You have to laugh with your own good cheers 
D5 
And it's hard to rely on my good intentions 
When my heads full of things that I can't mention 
G 
It seems I usually get things right 
But I can't understand what I did last night 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
only change is 3rd lyrics: 
 
And imagine in the world outside 
I'm positive that I'm not blind 
 
A 
I can't be hard on you 
G 
Cos I know I've been there too 
A 
A lot of things for you 
 
Ho-oh 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
When everyone is cold outside 
I clench my fists and close my eyes 
Imagining the world outside 
And I can't see that I'm not blind 
 
INTRO TO END 
 
 
Enjoy... Justin Kunz
