Lets all meet at the station

Verse 2: Play Main riff then verse main riff

Dontcha give a f*ck anymore now
She's givin up on you now
Do it for the kids they say
It ain't about you anyway
I say we're all grown up now
And sex ain't so safe now
It's all in the groove they say
Doesn't matter anyway

Chorus: Same as before, just repeat it once

Bridge: (Best single part of the whole cd)

   F(High) C   A# F(low) A
E|-8-------8---6--1------5-   
B|-10------8---6--1------5-   I like to use these barre
G|-10------9---7--2------6-   chords for the bridge because
D|-10------10--8--3------7-   it gives it a little less
A|-8-------10--8--3------7-   darker feel to it,  but 
E|---------8---6--1------5-   powerchords work fine also
      

 F (High)
Keep me runnin' like a deer in the headlights
 C
All for nothing I thought
 A#                   F(Low) A 
Just the ransom I had bought

 F (High)
About the day I tried to tame her
 C
Never tried to blame her     
A#                     F(Low) A     
Just a game that I had bought
