Our love girl is going through changes
I don't know if I am alive, dead,
Dying or just a little jaded
Someone throw me a line
You know I need it, I need it bad
Lost in a maze of my own making
No way out that I can find
Send home your hard working jury
I'm going down this time
You better believe it, yes you had
So if you hear me crying or talking in my sleep
Don't be afraid it is just the hours that I keep
We gotta love to last for a million years
A love that could never fade through the tracks of your tears
All I can do is hope that you will see me fall
And do your best to smash my picture on your wall
Forgive me baby, absolve me my dear
I've seen the future in the tracks of your tears
I cast a shorter shadow with every passing day
No time to think I'm just fading away
Some kind of magic in all your hopes and fears
Shows me the future through the tracks of your tears

TEARS
h = hammer on

~ = whammy or really quick bend up and down a few times
b = bend up
r = release bend
X = Dampen
The main riff for this song that I have worked out
is not accurate to what Mr squire plays, but it does
sound ok if you play with the song, there are two which
you vary at your own discretion, or when song changes.
Riff 1, played in verse:
h p p
E----------2--2--2-3-2-0---------------------------------------
B-------3-----------------3------------------------------------
G-----2---------------------2-----0------------h-b-p-----------
D---0---------------------------2---2--0--h---0-2-3-0----------
A-----------------------------3------2---0-2-------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------
Riff 2, at end of verse sort of, play twice:
on third time go to next riff when reach line below

E--------------------------------------------------------------
oh yeah and just before it gets going at about 2:14 on your
CD player it goes with distortion, not to heavy, then you can
clearly hear four chords struck, they are:
Am G Fmaj7 G
