Verse 1: B5 C#5 D So I guess I must have just been dreaming A5 E When I thought I heard myself say no B5 C#5 D A5 D5 A5 Anyway it looks like no one heard me so here I go Verse 2: B5 C#5 D5 Cause when you're in the company of strangers A5 E Or just the strangers you call friends B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 You know before you start just how it's going to end Chorus 1: B5 C#5 D5 So remember When the doors swing open A5 E and all the drinks are passed around B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 Anytime the pickins look too easy - hold me down Verse 3: B5 C#5 D5 I can't remember why I like this feeling A5 E When it only seems to let me down B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 Soon I find I'm searching for the exit from the ground Verse 4: B5 C#5 D5 If I think the room is turning faster A5 E Then I think the music is too loud B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 By then I've lived another broken story to let me down Chorus 2: B5 C#5 D5 So remember When those doors swing open A5 E and all the drinks are passed around B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 When half the party moves into the bathroom - hold me down Chorus 3: B5 C#5 D5 Or if you're at the tail end of the evening A5 E And Dr. Feelgood comes around B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 Anytime the pickins look too easy - hold me down Bridge: Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E

Down if I've gone too far (Haven't figured out this Fill/Solo) It does end on E and you hold it for 4 seconds. Play this once: B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - E B5 - C#5 - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 Verse 5: B5 C#5 D5 Well I guess I must have just been reeling A5 E When I felt myself begin to fall B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 I realize I'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls Verse 6: B5 C5# D5 If my bed was standing in the corner A5 E I could just fall into it right now B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 And know that I'd be staring at the ceiling going round Chorus 4: B5 C#5 D5 So remember When those doors swing open A5 E and all the drinks are passed around B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 When half the party moves into the bathroom - hold me down Chorus 5: B5 C#5 D5 Or if you're at the tail end of the evening A5 E And Dr. Feelgood comes around B5 C#5 D5 A5 D5 A5 Anytime the pickins look too easy - hold me down Bridge 2: Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E

Down if I've gone too far - Tell me that it'll never be that way. The conclusion is a little too complicated for me, and the Fill Stryder used was inadequate so I didn't bother. If you come up with improvements feel free to submit a corrected version. I can be reached at [email protected]
