^ On the last couple of these play this ^
Bend the "7" slowly over multiple strums
to "8" for that cool sound. And repeat
the above riffs twice.
Guitar 2 - Comes in on the second time the above is played
I'm not too sure about this part, I think what I put as sliding
should really be a wah on some note, and the harmonics probably
aren't right, (All I have is an acoustic) but it should give you
the right ideas

Breakdown
Guitar 1 (I think Timmy McTague the guitarist uses a bow on this part
like a violin, or they're keyboard parts, but i'm sure
these are the notes)

Lyrics
Maybe we
Why don't we
Sit right here for half an hour
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again
I swear we need to find some comfort in this
Run!
Down!
Place!
To bridge the gap of this
Conscious state that we live in
And I try!
I try!
How come you try
To place us all!
To fit the shape of
And I Pray for!
And I Tell You
You to move on! Move on!
But mostly what they show you
At this rate we can't keep up
Taking back all the things I've said!
Taking back all the things I've said!
But I sure can't just stand still
Keep me filled in I swear I'll go
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone!
We walk alone!
We walk alone!
We walk alone!
Back!
Home!
Alone!
Back home!
You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again
I remember!
Your presence!
I hope to god you come down
I hope to god you feel this now
I hope to god you come down
I hope to ... God
I know there must be some way out of here!
And all of them will be waiting there!
