    Stone Temple Pilots

  • Album:

    Tiny Music...Songs From...

Here's a great song from a more than exellent band. It's off
their third album: "Tiny music...Songs from the vatican gift
shop", released march 26th 1996.

It's in standard tuning
The main riff must be played very fluidly, which can be kind
of tricky, but thats nothing practice won't fix...

So here it is.

LYRICS:

She no wait
but she know me
In take purge
it's my disease

Hold me closer let me be (hold me closer let me be)
Hold me closer let me go away
Barely know you know my name (barely know you know my name)
Trip the witch and ride the shame

Just because you're so clich?d
It don't mean you won't get paid

(chorus)

(solo)

(chorus)
Always

Have fun, drink milk.
