Verse: “Why did I come here tonight…”

Sounds to me like a variation of the Intro is played over the verse or perhaps the small 
piece tabbed below, ending on…

“…don’t realize”

…G ----4----|
…D ----2----|

After first Verse, drums lead into Bridge alone…
After second Verse, guitar joins in with…

Chorus:
Em  C    G         D
I     am addicted, addicted to you
Em     C                G
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
D
I can't get enough of you …


Then (Riff 1) played 2x over “You, you”  “You, you”


Then the little solo piece, something like…
                                E E
e --3--2-----------2-------------------------------------------------|
B --------5--3--5----------------------------------------------------|
G --------------------4------4--2-2--4--5--4-------------------------|
D -------------------------------------------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------------------------------|
or maybe…
e -------------------------------------------------------------------|
B --8--7-----------7-------------------------------------------------|
G --------9--7--9-----9------9--7--9--10--9--------------------------|
D -------------------------------------------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------------------------------|


And so on…

Interlude: Sounds to me like the same chords as the Chorus played with a different 
and possibly in a different position…
Em            C                  G
Cause when it all comes crashing down
                D
will you still love it
Em        C           G
And if tomorrow never comes
           D
at least I had it

The chords you hear at 2:32 are simply the Chorus chords Em, C, G, D.  It’s the rhythm 
that makes it so sweet.  Try those chords out and see what you think.

Q  Quarter note

U  Strum up


Afflicted - Age Of Daze

Why did I come here tonight
with all these feelings inside
You're much too good for this life
and all the pain that you hide
I want to take you away
wipe the tears from your eyes
but all that stands in the way is
that you don't realize

why I

I am addicted, addicted to you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you

I am afflicted, afflicted by you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you

you you
you you

I want you so bad tonight
that I can almost taste it
I want to take you away
wipe the tears from your eyes
but all that stands in the way is
that you don't realize

why I

I am addicted, addicted to you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you

I am afflicted, afflicted by you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill

Cause when it all comes crashing down
will you still love it
And if tomorrow never comes
at least I had it

I am addicted addicted to you
I'm addicted

I can't get enough of you
I can't get enough of you

I am addicted, addicted to you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you

I am afflicted, afflicted by you
like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can't get enough of you

you you
you you
