Note: The strumming pattern of the harmonic notes is not shown, cause I'm not
competely sure about it. Also I'm not completely sure about the pitch of the
harmonics at all times.

Julie sounds like she's got it right. And FWIW, even though Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, 3DD, 12 Stones, and Bush sound pretty much the same to me, they all rawk, and this is one of the best by any of them.

if you/when you download that song, the new lyrics should look like this: I like your pants around your feet I love the dirt that's on your knees I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favourite damn disease I love the places that we go I love the people that you know I love the way you can't say no Too many long nights in a row I love your lack of self control And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out -> Can't make this out Can't make this out Can't make this out Can't make this out Can't make this out Can't make this out

Yeah the chick in this is definitely a coke addict and it seems as much as he enjoys her he had to get rid of her because of the way she ruined her life and seemed to be taking him with her.

oh it just irks me when people post "corrected" versions of lyrics and they arent correct either! here is the freakin song people, and yes its about a coke head who he is infactuated with at first, but then he realizes that its all she is, a coke head and he has had enough of it. I like your pants around your feet And I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease And I love the places that we go I love the people that you know And I love the way you can't say no Too many long lines in a row I love the powder on your nose And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why I like the freckles on your chest And I like the way you like me best And I like the way you're not impressed While you put me to the test I like the white stains on your dress And I love the way you pass the check And I love the good times that you wreck I love your lack of self-respect While you're passed out on the deck I love my hands around your neck And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why Get off the floor Give it a try Gone for good and this is it I like your pants around your feet And I like the dirt that's on your knees And I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease I hate the places that we go And I hate the people that you know And I hate the way you can't say no Too many long lines in a row I hate the powder on your nose And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that hard Just to figure you out Now I did You wonder why Get off the floor Give it a try Gone for good And this is it
