CARRY THE ZERO – Built to Spill

The solo is played on the B string, so I only tabbed that string.
I'm not much for timing, so you'll have to get the hang of it yourself.
I'm not knocking your want to carry that home
Took it with you when you moved and got it broke
Found the pieces, we counted them all alone
Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero

I can't be your apologist very long
I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on
Count your blemishes you can't they're all gone
I can't see your response putting them back on
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall
So they can see it all
And you're so occupied with what
other persons are occupied with
And vice versa
So you've become what you thought was dumb
A fraction of the sum
Yeah you've become, yeah you have become,
A fraction of the sum
the middle and the front
And now it's coming back
hasn't come too far
I was trying to help but
I guess I pushed too hard
And now we can't even touch it
'fraid it'll fall apart
