Intro:

    


Verse 1:

                                 
Hey look around, you can tell, you'll never see me
                                    
I'm standing right by your side, you'll never hear me
                                  
Why do you say did you mean that I was dying
                                
I can't explain where I've been

I'm shaking

                                  
I'm looking out, looking in, you'll never see me
                               
I dont know why do I try to make believe in
                                      
I take a rest, take a breath, and take whats mine yeah
                                      
I dont know why, I dont know why....


Bridge: (fret 1st string 3rd fret (G) on all chords)

                        
After all there's nothing left to say
                
No time to set it free
                        
sleep with me as part of yesterday

*** Distortion kicks in. Stomp on footswitch, jump around, windmill
picking arm, mosh, go off, etc ***

Chorus:

                     
Lay in dust around me, shut the eyes that're never friendly
                                           
loneliness won't hit you when you go
                      
Took my time to see it, hide my face but don't believe it
                                   
could I be the only one to know?



Bridge 2 (clean tone):

C#m   E   A    <- repeat lots, and pause on th C#m
(no lyrics)

*** take a deep breath, it's mosh time again! ***


Chorus:

                     
Lay in dust around me, shut the eyes that're never friendly
                                           
loneliness won't hit you when you go
                      
Took my time to see it, hide my face but don't believe it
                                   
could I be the only one to know?


Outro (power chords): (fret mute on the A)

         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
         
shut my eyes
