head was in a good place
             Bm7      A
and I wonder what its there for

(Jam it out)



Notes:
[Instrumental - Modulate and jam it out ? consider jumping to F#m7 in the instrumental]
(N.C)  You want to bring it down here, to create some tension and allow the chorus to have more power.
(N.C)  So just riff on the bass E and 5th fret position pentatonics
You've got to carry both the bass and the rhythm here when playing acoustic, so make use of your open E and A

Some alternate chords you can use to riff on.
