There is alot of solo work and riffs
 going on throughout the entire 
song.
Being a singer and not an fantastic 
guitarist, I can't figure them out,
and if I could, I wouldn't be able 
to play them and sing at the same 
time.
I'm sure they're not hard for 
someone who can play lead.

It's bitter -

It tastes alot like winter.

Verse 2:

G
Shattered -
Am
Tired, beaten, worn down and 
tattered and
F      C      G
Can you even hear me?
G
What do you expect out of me?
          Am
I'm being buried alive and 
screaming,

Can't you see - oh, can't you see 
me?

Weary -

My hands slapped I'm cautious and 
leary
   F      C             G
of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
G
How am I to figure it out?
    Am
All along I've been kicking around
            F     C         G
Without my home, yeah - I'm so lost,
 so lost.
