Bass only: I wrote her off for the 10th time today
I practiced hard all the things I would

When she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her
desssert

When she's saying.......ah that she wants only me.
CONTINUE RHYTYM PART 3
6X
Well I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying..ah... that I'm like a diease
well I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess I should stand up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer...the more it shows you really care...
PLAY RHYTHM FIG. 1A one time
Right?.....Yeah,yeah...
BASS PART AGAIN, FOLLOWED BY
RHYTHM FILL 1 THEN
I'll relate this little bit
It happens more than I'd like to admit
Latye at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and lookin' to score
PLAY RTHYM FILL 1
THEN RHYTHM FIG. 2 4X
I know I should say no..
But's it's kinda hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
THEN PLAY RTHYM FIG.1 4X
yeah...oh,......yeah....oh...yeahyeah
Play Rhtym Figure 3 7X
When she's saying
that she wants only me
Well I wonder why she sleeps with my firends
When she's saying
Ah, that I'm like a diesase
Well I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think It's better this way
the more you suffer, the more you really care...
PLAY RYHTYM Fig. 1 1X
Right? Yeah, yeah

U.S.
I'm working on a few others to send up, like "Genocide" and "It'll Be a Long
Time." When I get 'em seperated (I mean figured out) I'll send 'em up.
Any comments about screw-ups, how lame I am with tab, or just general flames
about how I wouldn't know the correct chord if it hit me in the head with a
2X4 and buried me in a shallow grave can be directed to MEGGABILL@aol.com
Thanks again, and don't get too mad if I screwed up. Remember, it's not like
you paid for this or anything!

Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease"
