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.
