i n i t i a t i o n
follow you home after every show
                              
perforated into tiny fragments
                                    
heavy breathing's your new fan club
                         
a john handcock with the safety off
                 
after every show
                                   
and how this pedastel fits like glove
                             
such a pity i built no laddter from me

the roots and above
                   
i'll be hacking off

after every show

Chorus(distorted)

D5    RIFF               the riff goes like this:A 7----5-7--5--|
AHHHH WHAT YOU'RE DOING?                         E 5---7------7-|

Parting contestants never seem to win

////////

                                  
watch you clap your hands by the stage
                                 
lend me your ears just another page
                                    
in the book that your friend signed yesterday
                                        
    when i told you not to bother to holler
                                     
your telephone's the one that helpeD
me wrap
the cord
                 
around your neck
you know you're beautiful
when you're dead

CHORUS AGAIN

that's pretty much it, the chords are accurate, i'm not so sure what they do exactly
the guitars but then again who does? with omar everything's possible. Also try to be
