This song is in 12/8, so listen to it to get the right feel. It starts
out just with drums, and then the bass plays this:
intro figure 1:
1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +
G|---6------6-----6------6---|
D|-4----4-4---4-4----4-4---4-|
A|---------------------------| x2

D|/7----7-7---7\4----4-4---4-| |\2----2-2-4-2-0----0-0---0-|
A|---------------------------| x3 |---------------------------|
E|---------------------------| |---------------------------|
The guitar comes in after the bass has played figure 2. The same riff
is played over figure 2 once for the intro and then during the verses.

verse 1: (lyrics to the whole song are very tentative)
Lying in bedrooms is easy
It's not like just five years ago
Lately you're over my body
Is that just the place that I want you to be?
verse 2:
Look at the pictures you've gotten
Like signals from oncoming cars
We're covered in cake from the last time
I know it sounds very collected and ?????
Is that just the place that I wanna be?
pre-chorus:
LA MI LA MI
Oh can't you see it's the life I don't need
Please don't make this thing happen to me (The way that I wanna be)
LA MI LA MIOh can't you see it's the life I don't need
FA#m MIPlease don't make this thing happen to me
Play the verse riff once (doubled by cello in original)
verse 3:
Driving in style with a smile-on
I wish the light could turn red on me now
The day's been so damn hard already
So buckle me in on the highway of sin
Is that just the way that I wanna be?
pre-chorus
Ah han...
LA RE
Is that just the way
LA REIs that just the way
All uncover-----huh----ed
LA REIs that just the way--ay-ay
There are a few harmonica licks here.
