Note: its a good idea to add in grace notes when going from Bm to G
(a la, Paul McCartney's bassline in "Help!", walk down the root notes B A G)

I can't see

I was playing dead

Doesn't make a sound

Holding my breath
                 Bm     A   Bm
Going underground

          Bm     A   Bm
So I can't talk

I got nothing to say

Barely yesterday
