Transcribed by Richard Sibley.

Here are the basics of the song. As always, listen to
the song to understand and hear exactly what is going on.
The transcription may not be exact, but I think it's pretty close.

Drop D tuning with Capo 2

[Verse 1] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I’m not sober all the time
You bring me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you
[Guitar plays Riff 1]
[Verse 2] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I must be running out of luck
’Cause you’re just not drunk enough to f**k
And now I’ve had it up to here
And I don’t, I don’t want you
[Pre-chorus]

Wake up, I’m pounding on the door
I’m not the man I was before
Where the hell are you when I need you
Wake up, I’m pounding on the door
I won’t hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you when I need you
[Guitar plays Riff 1]
[Verse 3] {Guitar continues playing Riff 1 twice}
I’m not angry all the time
You push me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you
[Pre-chorus - Same as before]
[Chorus - Same as before]
[Bridge - Riff 2]

| I do crank this for hours when no ones home. This is fed to alot of people, and they only believe it because they do love them and they hope they can change them. Abusive relationship, she walks out and then believes him when he comes at 3am and wants her back. A rock version of 2 Beds And A Coffee Machine by Savage Garden | |
