I looked at it a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't realize how many mistakes I left in there. This version should be very close to how the song is really played. My older version is at the bottom in case you wanted to see the differences. Any comments are welcome.

Verse 2: (Verse Riff) My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept And now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with his head on the floor Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says Pre-Chorus (Pre-Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X) Chorus (Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X at the end) Verse 3: (Chorus Riff) We've tried to wash our hands of all of this We never talk of our lacking relationships And how we're guilt-stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say Pre-chorus (Pre-Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X) Chorus 2X (Chorus Riff 2X) Outro (Intro Riff 2X w/ Fill 1., then Outro Riff)
