Slide up slide down
This is a playful little riff, you slide up then down. This is what follows the little drum
fill in the intro. For the intro it's played 4 times. Litsten to a recording for the timing.
Main feel/Lyrics: riff 2
--------2----------------------------|
--------3----------2------------0----|

(You sort of roll off the a and hit the E. again listen to a recording for the timing!)
D A E
No Matter how you fall
D A E
It shouldn't bother you at all Etc, Etc. Stays the same througout the lyrics.
Bridge: Riff 3
I play it like this, I don't think that it's exactly right but it sounds good and it's what
I have for now! I play this part using open chords.
D --> A --> E --> D --> A----| > E
D --> A-- > E --> D --> A ---| E
Then back to the intro riff 1, play it twice instead of 4 times as it's played in the beginning.
Now comes the second verse, it is played exactly like the first
This is the orchestrated section after the E-E---EE---DD--D--E--D--E

Lyrics:
No matter how you fall
it shouldn't bother you at all
it could take more to overcome less in a day
No matter how you break
you shouldn't be the one to take
your own opinions as they twist in their own way
when all she wants is to be left
off to the side and counted with the rest
all she wants is to be spared
from voting for a candidate who doesn't care
Through many more have been provided
when the only one decided
is someone who's left to wait
and any promise worth fufilling
what when only one needs selling
isn't one to leave till late
No matter how it's read
only so much can be said
about subscribing to a point that has no ground
no matter how it feels
your speculation isn't real
nothing can be guaged until it comes around
when all she want's..............
and thought the end may seem divided
every story is two sided
but it's only yours you'll know
and truth be told if you are willing
then that promises fufilling
is what only time could show
