Celena
from "Kill The Musicians"
by Screeching Weasel
Tabbed by: Darby Edelen

I tried to tab this out as close to the rhythm as I could.  I couldn't find any good copies of the
lyrics on the internet so I've included a new much improved copy of them.  Listen to the song to
get the timing down.

~ = let ring
x = mute / palm mute

Intro:
Celena looks at me and asks me if I know what's on TV
And now she wants to know what's wrong with me
And why I always have to be so mean

Verse:
Celena wants to know why I never seem to want to go 
To all the things her friends are going to 
And why we never do what she wants to

Pre-Chorus:
And I can't wait 'cause I can't talk to her and make her understand
I'm not the boyfriend that she made herself believe I was
But Celena's brave and Celena stays

Chorus:
Ya Celena says I broke her heart 
She's going home to think about the time she wasted being with me

Verse:
Celena says she's tired of spending so much of her precious time 
Watching me while I watch Benny Hill and counting every minute that I kill

Verse (muted):
Celena says she's young and she deserves to have a little fun 
But if that's what Celena really thinks 
Then I don't understand why she won't leave

Pre-Chorus:
I'm getting tired of seeing her drunken body lying on the stairs 
If you see the pictures in the paper, you'll know why I'm there 
But Celena's brave and Celena stays

Chorus:
Ya Celena says I broke her heart
She's going home to see her mom and think of ways to make me miserable


--Bridge--


Verse:
Celena's telling me, my future doesnt look to promising 
She sits there eating ice cream while she pouts 
And wonders why I sleep out on the couch

Verse (muted):
Celena looks at me and says I'm not the guy I used to be 
I smoke a cigarette and fall asleep
And she continues right on nagging me

Pre-Chorus:
I'm getting better at ignoring her but she doesn't seem to care
If you see the news report on TV, you'll know why I'm there
But Celena's brave and Celena stays

Chorus:
Ya Celena says I broke her heart
