Metre is a fast 3/4. The notes are played with a triplety swing: have a listen to get it right!

INTRO:

 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||  x3


 Dadd2       E7I'm (020130@1)drifting down
          Dadd2          E7While (020130@1)you scream past my head
 Dadd2     E7Fire (020130@1)away, fly away
  Dadd2           E7I (020130@1)wonder what you said


 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||


    Dadd2        E7And (020130@1)i'm watching you
          Dadd2      E7Bare (020130@1)your teeth in a growl
 Dadd2         E7Throwing (020130@1)your way
         Dadd2      E7Back (020130@1)and forth 'til now


 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||


    B7 (x21202@1)         DAnd (xx0232@1)i'm here in oblivion
             AI (x02220@1)don't feel anything
 B7 (x21202@1)                DWhen, (xx0232@1)it's time to begin again
         A (x02220@1)     B7 (x21202@1)  D (xx0232@1)   (E7)
I won't remember anything at all



  [Here the main pattern appears reversed, with the E7 before the Dadd2, not after]

 (E7) - - | Dadd2 - - ||

 E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - || x2




E7 (020130@1)         Dadd2    E7 (020130@1)   Dadd2
Could it be something that i said
       E7 (020130@1)      Dadd2       E7 (020130@1)       Dadd2
That's making you put poison pins in my bed
E7 (020130@1)             Dadd2 E7 (020130@1) Dadd2
And i would feel sorry if i could
   E7 (020130@1)       Dadd2        E7 (020130@1)          Dadd2
So fire away, fly away, if you think you should


E7 (020130@1)    Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7 (020130@1)    Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7 (020130@1)    Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
Dadd2     Dadd2     E'blivion, (022100@1)'blivion, i'm...
