This is the way it goes:
Intro, Verse, (bass), Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chrous, Verse, Chorus, (bass), Chorus, 
intro, Verse, Verse, Chorus, Verse 2, Chrous, Intro.

For the bass part, you can play power chords d and a on a regular
guitar, it sounds pretty good.  The intro is just basic, so if you play
around with it a lil bit it will sound exactly like it. 
the chorus is basically just diff varitations of D so 
if you play around with that a lil you might be able 
to get it closer. IF you have any questions drop me 
and email.

No Picture Brian Average	#1 by Brian Dempsey at Dec 13, 1971 at 6:14 PM EST
	I found this website by accident, so of course I had to see what people thought about one of my favorite songs of all time...This song is great because so many lines in it can be applied to anyone. I agree that when I heard "with everything to say and nothing left to be said...and it makes me sad" just made my respect stephen jenkins so much more. I think everyone has been at that point in a relationship, but its so well put. Also the part about getting trashed at the bar (in order to forget someone? to forget about a fight with someone?) and then it ends up that person ends up being the one to take him home...its like he's saying that he's embarrassed because the situation was out of his control again. Great frickin song!

	I got this song on one of their singles a while ago and it is just the most captivating song... I can't tell you how long I just sat around analyzing it... I can't remember what I got from it besides what was already written. I still like this song a lot...

No Picture Squirrels Lead Player	#3 by Squirrels Dyrant at Sep 11, 1981 at 1:35 AM EST
	More people should listen to this song, it's great. In my top five for Third Eye Blind and top ten for all songs easily.

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Miller at Feb 15, 1984 at 11:06 PM EST
	This song could mean two things.. I believe that it is about a relationship in which both of the people know it is not going to work out. Stephen is trying to say to the girl that things will not work ever.. but if she doesn't want it to end he doesn't want it to either. The Tatoo of the Sun is about a tatoo a woman has on her stomach. When Stephen reveals things about the tatoo it also reveals that this women either had an abortion or a miscarriage. There is also arguements that she could have had the baby. But from the lines, "once carried a baby for a while", we know she lost it somehow.

	this song also shows the versatility that 3eb has in their music. there is no other tattoo of the sun. and i totally agree that "everything to say, and nothing left to be said" is perfectly voiced. dont we all know that point in a relationship...
