Verse:
E5*
The
cars come up the drive, too many people inside.
A
C#5 B5
E5*
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my home.
I face the darkened hall, try to consider it all.
A
C#5 B5
E(Into Chorus)
In the dull lamp's glow, and the truth is i don't know.
The * here indicates that the main guitar is only playing a palm-muted
E5 chord for most of the verse. At this time the bass is playing
E, C#, B, it does that three times and then the main guitar comes back
in with distortion and plays A5, C#5 and B5.
SECOND VERSE:
The cars stop outside, they all stay inside. The house is
drenched in light, butr what have i done wrong.
I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years, I check everything
is right, I need to hurry now.
THIRD VERSE:
I've been preparing for days, i'll know exactly what to say.
No-one will be around, no-one will take me down.
The'll all get back in their cars amd maybe they'll go home.
Nut the things they'll never know, like where it is i go.
Chorus:
There is no real 'chorus', just the exact same sequence as the intro
with the same riff played over it.(RIFF1).
