         ==================================================
          This is the 2nd guitar that's played in the song, 
                 This compliments Informal Skin.
          who did a great job tabbing out the main guitar
         ==================================================

     I Did A Cover Of this track And Just Found this Tab On My PC.
               I Thought Someone May Find It Useful.

1,It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
2,We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin

3,Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone

1,Yesterday you asked me to   write you a pleasant song
2,I love your depression and I love your double chin

1,I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long
2,I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering
