This is a great song...with some very "odd" tunning...Thornley is a great band
Big Wreck kicked ass too...Please don't copy this for other sites or use with-
out the writer's permission.
This is the best I can do...the tabbing is write...it's just the timming thats
off...so you're going to have to do that one.

Tuning:(From Low To High) Cb-Gb-Db-Bb-Db (Yes it's all flats)

No Picture steven Lead Player	#1 by steven ratliff at Jan 4, 1970 at 4:45 AM EST
	true .. i wonder if he ever dropped her ass on the stove by accident. ouch. anyway you're right. it's pretty straightforward.

No Picture bob Average	#2 by bob fred at Nov 15, 1977 at 11:26 AM EST
	This song is about a guy who drinks too much. He hides his problem from other people, but wishes that he didn't have to.

No Picture Josh Average	#3 by Josh Sanchez at Mar 25, 1981 at 11:24 AM EST
	who the hell could get 'noone knows i'm drinkin', that doesnt even make sence.....i always thought it was 'noone knows im thinking'...but, meh. great song. yay for thorley.

No Picture alex Average	#4 by alex at Aug 28, 1999 at 9:58 PM EST
	okay...first of all as far as I'm concerned this song is definately not about drinking. well, I didn't get that out of it anyway. and second, the lyrics are screwed up. the chorus is... So far so good 'cause no one knows I'm faking I wish I could show you the toll it's taking Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow So far so good I think this song is about how when everything is going good for him, probably with a girl, things get messed up...("everytime I get lost in paradise I find a way to screw it up somehow ") and nobody can really see how much what's going wrong is affecting him. maybe the whole thinking it was about drinking thing came from the mess up in the lyrics and the line about the kitchen counter...but I think that line is reffering to maybe stuff he did with a girl on the kitchen counter and it reminds him of it...or I could be totally wrong...it's known to happen.. :)
