NOTE: the '7s5s4' is one fluid motion

H=hammer
p=pick off

D5
It's hard to rely on my good intentions

When my head's full of things that I can't mention

G
It seems I usually get things right

But I can't understand what I did last night (INTRO AGAIN)

D5
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses

When I miss so much that requires attention

G
I have to laugh at myself sometimes

And I can't see that I'm not blind A CHORUS:

               D5
There's little relief

Give us reprieve Ho-oh

     G
For all the things I've left behind

                      A
I'm positive that I'm not blind

Here's the little riff played over the D5 chord in the chorus (it's only one the B string)

B ---8-7-5-3------------------

BACK TO INTRO

D5
I'm not afraid that things won't get better

But it feels like this has gone on forever

G
You have to cry with your own good tears

You have to laugh with your own good cheers

D5
And it's hard to rely on my good intentions

When my heads full of things that I can't mention

G
It seems I usually get things right

But I can't understand what I did last night CHORUS only change is 3rd lyrics: And imagine in the world outside I'm positive that I'm not blind

A
I can't be hard on you

G
Cos I know I've been there too

A
A lot of things for you

Ho-oh CHORUS When everyone is cold outside I clench my fists and close my eyes Imagining the world outside And I can't see that I'm not blind INTRO TO END Enjoy... Justin Kunz
