..."sometimes I feel like my only friend"...

Continue this through the verse (additional lyrics are at bottom of page)

e|--4--| This is the chord that seperates the two verses from each
b|--4--| other, and the second verse from the chorus. Hit the chord so
g|--4--| that each note can be heard as an individual, but don't play
d|--0--| it arpeggio.
