The Clay People - Broken Kisses
Album: The Headhunter Demos
Tuning: Drop-D (D A D G B E)

Notes: In the opening, the second guitarist uses a wah pedal to create a simple riff.  I don't 
really know of a way to tab this out.

Note:
The guitar solo is sick.  It has some freaky pedal effect that I couldn't tab for the life of me.

Final Riff:   (This is as close as I can get it.  I bet it's not right though)

Lyrics:

Do I belong here?
Do I belong here?
Do I belong here?
Do I belong here?

Looking at you, but you pretended you didn't see me
Crying for help, but you turned your back on me
Now I'm wishing it could be the way that it was
And I strain on my soul, just to break myself, from your hold

WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!

You never knew just how much is destroyed me
You never knew just how much your spells could hurt
Yeah, you never knew just how much, I could love you
You never knew how much I could love you
You never knew

WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!

How could I have known that your love was never there?
How could I have known that everything to me, to you had meant nothing
That everything to me to you had meant nothing
How could everything to you mean nothing?

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll!  Yeah baby!
666!  Yeah baby!
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll!  Yeah baby!
Yeah baby!
BITCH!

WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
WHY?  All these Broken Kisses!
