Verse (bass with chords over)
-----

C5 (hold until fade)
.....So take a breath, I know you're feeling jaded 
Talking about the time that you left me 
Naked and face down in the hotel hallway 
Dallas, Texas, 3 a.m. 

(following chords come in strummed w/ downstrokes 8 times each)
C5                             G5
But I know the telephone would ring
                                  A5 
And you'd say all those beautfiul things 

Oh how you do it all the time 
        A#5
How you get me on the line 
     C5 (8th fret)
Your explanation 

Chorus (same as intro riff)
------
Hey, you do it all the time 
Hey, you do it all 

Verse 2 (same as first verse)
-------

C5 (hold until fade)
And when the drugs wear off 
You find you're not so tough 
You think that you're so special 
That you're high above the rest 

C5                             G5
But I know the telephone would ring 
                                  A5
And you'd say all those beautfiul things 

Oh how you do it all the time 
        A#5
How you get me on the line 
     C5 (8th fret) 
Your explanation 


Chorus (same progression)
------
Hey, you do it all the time 
Hey, you do it all

Bridge
-------

C5                          F5
And now I know I've got the right idea 
          E5                F5
No one is ever changing me again you see 
             C5
In any little way 
                        F5
It's so amazing how the years 
                   E5
Seem shorter now I know 
                         F5
It's not what I'm used to today 

(Back into intro riff -then solo)

(Repeat Bridge)

Chorus/Outro (use chorus progression)
------------
Hey, you do it all the time 
Hey, you do it all the time
Come on now you do it all the time 
You know that you do it all the time 
Come on how you do it all the time
Hey! (cutoff)
