Tabbed by Oliver Keeble
Here's the riff; it's done with a D shape, going to 4 then removing
your first finger to make G; then lots of hammer-ons.

D5 G5
Hometown, same town blues
D5 G5
Same old walls closing in
D5 G5
Oh what a life a mess can be
D5
I'm sitting here thinking of you once again
G5
Won't you talk to me
D5 D5 G5 C5 D5 D5 G5 C5
D5
Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
D5
Get up and start what needs to be done
D5 D5 G5 C5
D5
It's winding down, there's much you missed
D5
Working on that graveyard shift
D5 D5 G5 C5 D5 D5 G5 C5
A5 G5 A5 G5
Well, I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
A5 G5 A5 G5 D5
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
G5 D5
Can't look away
G5 D5 G5 D5
The powers that be might take it all away
A5 G5 D5
Together we burn, together we burn away
Some say a land of paradise
Some say a land of pain
Well, which side are you looking from
Some people have it all
Some ?all to gain?
Well a man in a tie'll bum your dime
'Fore he breaks his twenty dollar bill
There's plenty of reasons in this world
We're no longer standing still
But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
Together we burn, together we burn away

There's too much time spent looking for a reason
It's the simple ones that ?beat? the most truth
Oh, what a life a mess can be
I'm sitting here thinking of you once again
Give a thought to me
Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
Get up and start what needs to be done
It's running down, there's much you missed
Working on that graveyard shift
But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along
If what I see is true I could learn to believe
Can't look away
The powers that be might take it all away
Together we burn, together we burn away

For the D D4 D Dbend bit play open chords and just pick the first bit,
then bend the top 3 strings (ie the fretted ones) up.
