Ab
God only knows what you do with yourself
B                       C#
You sleep all the day and you're wasting away

You beg for your food

And you lie like a dog
B                        C#
You steal all your moves and you drink the last drop

that bit on the end of that last bar is complicated to tab, sorry. but the way it is, it
bend and release (keep the 12 still held down) the 12, 15 bit then while it's still
down, slide up to the 15, 17 bit, then pick it again and pull as big a unison bend as 
can, if that makes any sense...

i think that's how it goes, sorry if it's a bit sloppy, and i dint stick in most of the
bits, but theyre not really that essential, just improv them
