Intro:
(This is probably F# feedback (6th string, 2nd fret), which
is bent up after "in my school")
She was underwhelmed, if that's a word
I know it's not cause I looked it up
That's one of those skills that I learned in my school
F#5 (palm muted)
I was overwhelmed and I'm sure of that one
Cause I learned it back in grade school
When I was young (palm muting off)
Okay...now the second guitar comes in. The first guitar
sounds like it is playing something like this:
E|---------------------------------
B|---------------------------------
G|---------------------------------
D|--4--4----4--4--4--7----7--7--9--
A|--4--4----4--4--4--7----7--7--9--
E|--2--2----2--0--2--5----5--5--7--
But that may just be the bass. You could also play them as
regular barre chords, but I think they just sound like full
chords because of the chords on the second guitar.
F# A B F#
She said "you is funny", I said "you are funny"
F# A B F# A
She said "thank you", and I said "nevermind"
B F#
And she rolled her eyes
A B F#
Her beautiful eyes
F# A B F#
The point is not the grammar, it's the feeling
F# A B F# A5
That is certainly in my heart
B F# A
But not in hers
B A E
But not in hers
F#
But not in hers
A E
But not in hers
F#
But not in hers
F# A B (x4)
Now, the first guitar doesn't play, and the second guitar plays this:
F# F#(b5) B C C#
E|----------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------------------
G|----------------------------------------------------
D|--11--11---11--11--11--10--10--10-------------------
A|--9---9----9---9---9---9---9---9---9--9--9--10--11--
E|-----------------------------------7--7--7--8---9---
F# F#(b5) B C C#
We were talking about people that eat meat
F# F#(b5) B C C#
I felt like an ass cause I was one
F#(stop)
She said it's okay but I felt like I just ate my young
(Guitar 1 returns)
A5 B5
F# A B F#
She was obviously a person with a cause
F# A B F#
I told her that I don't smoke or drink
F# A B F# A B
She told me to loosen up on the way to the L.C.
F# A B F#
She skips her classes and gets good grades
F# A B F#
I go to my courses rain or shine
F# A B F# A
She's passing her classes while I did not
B A E
While I attend mine
F#
While I attend mine
A E
While I attend mine
F#
While I attend
F# A B (x4)
This part is just bass. I think it goes like this:
G|---------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------
E|--2--2----2--0--2--5----5--5--7--7--7--8--9--
She wrote a story about her life
I think it included something about me
I'm not sure of that but I'm sure of one thing
Her spelling's atrocious
(On the last line there is something that I originally
thought might be picking behind the nut. But I really
don't know what it is.)
(Guitar 2 re-enters, with F#(b5) riff)
She told me to read between the lines
And tell her exactly what I got out of it
I told her "affection" had two F's
Especially when you're dealing with me
(Guitar 1 re-enters)
I usually notice all the little things
One time was proud of it, she said "it's annoying"
She cursed me up and down and rolled her R's
Her beautiful R's
She says I'm caught up in triviality
All I really want to know is what she thinks of me
I think my love for her makes me miss the point
I miss the point, I miss the point
I miss the point, I miss the point
I miss the point, I miss the point
I miss the point, I miss the
F# A B (x10, with octaves riff)
Octaves riff:
This is actually strummed very fast, more like 4 times
as much as what I've shown (so, 16 times for F#, etc)
E|----------------------------------
B|----------------------------------
G|-11-11-11-11--14-14--16-16-16-16--
D|--x--x--x--x---x--x---x--x--x--x--
A|--9--9--9--9--12-12--14-14-14-14--
E|----------------------------------
End on F#
At the end there is some of that picking behind the
nut stuff, if that's what it really is.
