Note:  Piece of advice.  If you are playing an acoustic, the Second Guitar sounds 
great, but if you're using an electric go with the Primary.

Down if I've gone too far

(Haven't figured out this Fill/Solo) It does end on E and you hold it for 4 seconds.

Play this once:

B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - E
B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5

Verse 5:
               B5 (x244xx@1)           C#5 (x133xx@4)D5Well (xx023x@1)I guess I must have just been reeling
            A5 (x022xx@1)            EWhen (022100@1)I felt myself begin to fall
              B5 (x244xx@1)          C#5 (x133xx@4)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5                   A5 (x022xx@1)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5 A5I (x022xx@1)realize I'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls

Verse 6: 
              B5 (x244xx@1)        C5# D5If (xx023x@1)my bed was standing in the corner 
             A5 (x022xx@1)               EI (022100@1)could just fall into it right now
                     B5 (x244xx@1)       C#5 (x133xx@4)name="chord_xx023x@1">D5                A5 (x022xx@1)D5 (xx023x@1)name="chord_x022xx@1">A5      
And know that I'd be staring at the ceiling going round

Chorus 4:

Down if I've gone too far - Tell me that it'll never be that way.

The conclusion is a little too complicated for me, and the Fill Stryder used was 
inadequate so I didn't bother.  If you come up with improvements feel free to 
submit a corrected version.  I can be reached at sbauzys@comcast.net
