Intro: Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below
Verse1: D5
Night of a thousand verses
D5 A5
One thousand friends said have you heard
G5 D5
What we expected
D5
We are all working late and
D5 A5
Waiting to win a prize that we dont deserve
G5 D5
And live to collect it
Biss: F#5 G5
Cant you see Im weary
E5 C5 D5
Maybe this news can wait
Verse2:
Night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
The voice thats left us
Magazines still have to sell us
Twelve master geniuses a year
Its all so shameless
Chorus: Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary"
Bridge: B5 C5 G5
Maybe there was a message in it
E5
(I dont know where you hid it)
B5 C5 G5
Maybe there was a [P stamp] with it
E5
(I dont know where to fit it)
B5 C5 G5
Tell me what kind of prize can you get
E5
(When you dont want to win it)
Then back to D for a few bars.
Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and
with distorted guitar on top.
Then back to bridge exactly as above
Then chorus 2x.
When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is
D/F#/G5 (notes, not chords). If you're playing
D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while
holding the chord, like this:
E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p
B---3---3--------------------
G---1------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so
the chord continues to sound. You may find easier
places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
