LYRICS:

I poked my eye with my finger
Lying on the bed
I'm sneezing and I'm blowing
And I can't clear my head

Is the pressure in the air
From an August storm that's rumbling
I try not to care about it now
Pressure's dumb anyway

All alone I
Know I
Give in to chances
You doubt yourself
Your mental health
Your surreal cicumstances

I try to keep it seperate
A built in third eye effacing every line
I got a built in bad feeling
That doesn't go away with time

Lined uo in a row
Shadowless figurines
Come up frome below
What they figure
I figure I don't wanna know

There are two of us
What I am what I was
To be seen
And not to be mistakenly taken serious

There are two of us
What I am what I was
At the end of the millennium
We'll soon be replaced by replicas

All lined up in a row
Shadowless figurines
Come up from below
What they figure for me
I don't wanna know

Leave the light on as you go
Leave the...


TAB NOTES:

=== : hold the note or chord into the next bar
h   : hammer-on
(2) : ghost note
x   : mute strings


--> The numbers on top of the staff represent the beats. Although it's not
	perfect, it's best the method I know for notating rhythm in tab.
--> The rhythm indicated for the chorus chords is not exact. It's just a
	suggestion. Listen to the song for more precision.
--> During the bridge ("aaahhs") after the chorus, the chords are strummed
	but I didn't bother figuring out the rhythm or suggesting one, so I
	only wrote out the fingerings.
