This song was played during their "Bright Ideas of '97" tour.  I was backstage, so I saw everything.  Here it is!!

Intro: B G A C# E

Verse 1:
B
It never ceases to be
G
  Always amazes me
A               C#             E
   You know not what you do or why
B
Its always due in part
G
Will you ever start
A         C#           E 
  Acting like I am you guy?

Chorus:
B                    C#
Still I know not what is cold or hot but
A
I am not blind
E                A          Ab
I see all you do invloving me and you 
E
and I'm left behind
A Ab  E
Left Behind (2xs)

Verse 2:
You say he's just a friend
You lie.  You lie to no end
You know not waht you say, you do, or why
Your words are a gun in the shed
They cap me in my head
So now you've killed me and I die

Chorus

Bridge:
E
So if you find me
B  
  Chances are I'll be
A
Anywhere I can call a home
   B
Or stay until I see you're gone
E
 And if you find me
B
 You will finally see
A
Everything your ignoring did
B
And how it has destroyed this kid.

Chorus

I got to ask Josh what the song was about.  He said about a girl who broke up with him after prom for a "friend."  Go figure.
