The song is played with capo over the 9th fret.
This the transcription to the part played during the verses (part 1) and
the chorus (part 2).Thereīs a break in the middle of the song that I
havenīt already figured out.

| this song reminds me about drugs. cocaine, in fact. just liek novocaine, it makes you reeeeeeeeallly fucking numb. the top of your teeth and your feelings. he needs something to fill the hole. novocaine for the soul, i believe, is a metaphor for drugs. | |

| I'm with subterraneansummer, I think it's just about how life is painful unless you have something meaningful going on to take your mind off the pain and make it worth something. TANGENT ALERT: ....which is why emokids are both pathetic AND whiny. | |

| Yeah, I don't think the hole has any sexual connotation, just hole, as in a void in his life where nothing is happening and it's just vacant. The song's about wanting something just to numb the pain of all the bad stuff that happens to you, as novocaine is routinely used by dentists as an anesthetic. In a nutshell, it's about just needing an escape from the daily, crappy trials and tribulations that you have to go through and wishing something extraordinary and wonderful would happen to break the monotony. | |

| E (the man who sings) most likely wanted people to get the meaning that he needs something more in his life and that life is hard and boring, but with his sense of humor, he probably wanted to make a little sexual reference for fun. heh. I love this song though, it's one of my all time favorite songs. The beginning is orgasmic. | |
