This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Bass Line

(It sounds like theres actually three guitars for this part, but i

just figured a bass guitar could do this part, but if u have a third

guitarist or a sampler on a pedal, its just the intro riff.

All My Life

All my life I've been searching for something

Something never comes never leads to nothing

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around then it's taken away

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most

The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist

You have such a delicate wrist

And if I give it a twist

Something to hold when I lose my breath

Will I find something in that

So give me just what I need

Another reason to bleed

ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve

ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve

Hey don't let it go to waste

I love it but I hate the taste

Weight keeping me down (x2)

Will I find a believer

Another one who believes

Another one to deceive

Over and over down on my knees

If I get any closer

And if you open up wide

And if you let me inside

On and on I've got nothing to hide

On and on I've got nothing to hide

Hey don't let it go to waste

I love it but I hate the taste

Weight keeping me down (x2)

All my life I've been searching for something

Something never comes never leads to nothing

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around then it's taken away

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most

The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one (x8, then x4 but yelling)

Hey don't let it go to waste

I love it but I hate the taste

Weight keeping me down (x2)

(yelling)

Done done and under the next one

Done I'm done and I'm under the next
