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

Hello James, another one for Nevada. Mail any comments, corrections

etc. to Jeroen van der Laak <PA_ELEC@AZNVX1.AZN.NL>.

Notes on the sixth string are actually played on bass, but I added

them for solo guitar.

D1 D2 D1

D2 D1 D2

Is it wrong to talk to myself even when there's nobody else?

D1 D2 F#min G Amin

I'm just checking out that I've not gone under the water or thrown on

F#min D1 D2 D1 D2

the beach like a seal ready for slaugther

D1 D2

Can't you understand that the way things were planned

D1 D2 F#min G

it never worked out so I just went crazy

Amin F#min D1 D2 D1

I took to the drink like something says it's 'maybe'

D2 D1 D2

I ain't got no excuse and that's really the news

D1 D2 F#min G Amin

I got nothing else to say except it's my way, it's always my way

F#min D1 D2 D1

I seem to be running away so often

D2 D1 D2

I'll try anything once and that's the way we should be

D1 D2 F#min

but it's always the same getting caught up again in a habit

G Amin F#min D1 D2

a habit, that I just can't shake off, the way it always turned out

(small interlude)

D2 D1 D2

Can you understand it's the way I choose to be

D1 D2 F#min G

everything seems so easy this way, but I'm going under, fast

Amin F#min D1 D2

I'm slipping away, am I so crazy?

Some more guitar picking, repeat several times
