This is a nice song… just try to 
figure it out…

Intro: (the bass plays an E-B-A-B 
progression)

Guitar 1: (clean)
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|----8h9--9---8h9--9---8h9-------|
|----9~~~~9~~~9~~~~9~~~9~~-------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|

|---------------|    
|---------------|    
|----8-8-9-8----| 4x 
|---------------|    
|---------------|

Then both guitars play… (w/ Distortion)
|------------------------------
|------------------------------
|---9~~~~~---------------------
|---9~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~---
|---7~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~---

||9~~~~~---|    
||9~~~~~---|    
||7~~~~~---|    


Verse 1: (E-B-A-B) Guitar 2 plays 
*riff #1…

The clouds are out today, inside I'm
 losing
I think it's funny but it's not 
amusing
It's just a little thing that I'm 
abusing
I pray for sanity but I'm not gonna 
lose it

Interlude: (heavy distortion)
|------------------------------
|------------------------------
|---9~~~~~---------------------
|---9~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~---
|---7~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~---
|------------7~~~~~---5~~~~~---

||---------| 
||---------| 
||---------| 
||9~~~~~---| 
||9~~~~~---| 
||7~~~~~---| 

|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|---9~~~~~------------------------
|---9~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~------
|---7~~~~~---9~~~~~---7~~~~~----7-
|------------7~~~~~---5~~~~~------

||-----------------------| 
||-----------------------| 
||-----------------------| 
||-----------------------| 
||--6--------------------| 
||------7---5---4--5-----| 



Verse 2: (the same as with the first
 verse)

You want to worship me, I am an 
illusion
You give me sympathy but I'll never 
use it
It's just a little thing that I'm 
abusing
I pray for sanity and now I'm gonna 
lose it

Chorus: (E-B-A-B)

|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|----9~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------
|----9~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------
|----7~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------
|---------------------------------

||-----------------------| 
||-----------------------| 
||-----------------------| 
||-----9~~~~~~~~~~~------| 
||-----9~~~~~~~~~~~------| 
||-----7~~~~~~~~~~~------| 

           Thinking about the days 
when I was young
        |---------------- 
        |---------------- 
        |---------------- 
        |----7~~~~~~~~--- 
|----7~~~~~~~~---         
|----5~~~~~~~~---         


And life was looking pretty 
        |-------------------------
        |-------------------------
        |-------------------------
        |-------------------------
        |--------7------6---------
        |----------------------7--

 |-------------------------------| 
 |-------------------------------| 
 |------------------7~~~---------| 
 |------------------7~~~---------| 
 |------------------5~~~---------| 
 |--5------4----5----------------| 

It's hard to comit when all you 
think is life's a joke

(the same)
Breathing it in when all you want is
 gone
And life is looking shitty
It's hard to admit when all you 
think is
Life's a joke

Adlib: it is just like the chorus w/
 1 of the guitars playing:

(Distorted w/ slight delay)
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|-----8h9p8------8h9p8------8h9p8-
|------------9----------9---------
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------

||--|    
||--|    
||--| 4x 
||--|    
||--|    
||--|    


Then…
|-------------7-----------7----
|------------------------------
|-----8h9-9-------8h9-9--------
|------------------------------
|------------------------------
|------------------------------

||------------|    
||------------|    
||8h9-8-8-----| 3x 
||------------|    
||------------|    
||------------|    

|------------7h9---7----------
|-----------------------10--9-
|----8h9--8-------------------
|-----------------------------
|-----------------------------
|-----------------------------

||---------------------------| 
||9h10--7--------------------| 
||---------------------------| 
||---------------------------| 
||---------------------------| 
||---------------------------| 



Verse 2: E-B-A-B (the same as the 
1st verse)
You want to worship me, I am an 
illusion
You give me sympathy but I'll never 
use it
It's just a little thing that I'm 
abusing
I pray for sanity and now I'm gonna 
lose it

Chorus: (The same)
Thinking about the days when I was 
young
And life was looking pretty
It's hard to comit when all you 
think is
Life's a joke

Breathing it in when all you want is
 gone
And life is looking shitty
It's hard to admit when all you 
think is
Life's a joke

Thinking about the days when I was 
young
And life was looking pretty
It's hard to comit when all you 
think is
Life's a joke

Breathing it in when all you want is
 gone
And life is looking shitty
It's hard to admit when all you 
think is
Life's a joke

(the same as chorus) just listen to 
the song…
Life's a joke
Life's a joke

Then the ending goes like:

Guitar 1:
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|--------7------6-----------------
|----------------------7----5-----

||----------| 
||----------|

|--------7------6-----------------
|----------------------7----5-----

||-----------| 
||-----------| 
||---------7-| 
||---------7-| 
||---------5-| 
||-4----5----| 

Guitar 2: it just goes in on the 2nd
 measure
|---------------------------------
|---------------------------------
|------9----8-------------------7-
|---------------9---7---6--7----7-
|-------------------------------5-
