Intro: Riff 1 + Riff 2 (w/ fill 1)
Riff 1 + Riff 2 (w/ fill 2)
We wakeup different, rifle through our dreams (Riff 1)
Another placid day, ripples at the seams (Riff 2 w/ fill 3)
Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right? (Fig. 4)
Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)
(Riff 2 w/ fill 4)
Repeat
So tangle-minded then so becalmed (Riff 1)
It's all so subway-grim and then it's gone (Riff 2 w/ fill 3)
Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right? (Fig. 4)
Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)
(Riff 2 w/ fill 5)
Repeat
Solo
We get so weary taking fish off hooks (Riff 1)
It's not as effortless as it may look (Riff 2 w/ fill 6)
Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right? (Fig. 4)
Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)
(Riff 2 w/ fill 5)
Repeat
Solo 2
We lay down seething, smell our pillows burn (Riff 1)
And drift off to the place where you'd think we'd learn (Riff 2/ fill 7)
Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right? (Fig. 4)
Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)
(Riff 2 w/ fill 5)
Repeat
Solo 3
I said, "I give."
