Verse: 
 
Riff A, bass only 
 
    Crawled away from me, slipped away from me 
    Tried to keep you home, but there was nothing I could say 
 
Guitar enters, playing root notes with bass 
 
    Slid away from me, crept away from me 
    Tried to keep you down, but there was nothing I could say 
 
Riff A, full blast 
 
    What you're tryin' to say is you don't want to play 
    What you want and what you need don't mean that much to me 
 
Chorus: 
 
Riff C (time sig. changes to 9/8 - watch out!)
