Verse

G/B Cadd9       Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
You can't resist her,
G/B    Cadd9       Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
she's in your bones.
G/B Cadd9      Asus4   D7   D6  D7 D6
She is your marrow and your ride
G/B Cadd9 Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
home.

G/B Cadd9      Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
You can't avoid her,
G/B   Cadd9     Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
she's in the air. (In the air.)
G/B Cadd9    Asus4 D7 D6 D7 D6
In between molecules of 
G/B Cadd9     Asus4  D7 D6 D7 D6
oxygen and carbon dioxide.

                Only in dreams         we see what it means.

B5  A5 G5
       Reach out our hands,
C5  B5 A5
       hold on to hers.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#1 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Jul 7, 1973 at 9:56 AM EST
	indeed! this is my favorite weezer song live. otherwise i can't pick which would be my favorite.. but it's so awesome live. i just spaced out and got lost in the sound.. heh..

No Picture Juandiego Rhythm Player	#2 by Juandiego Schubnell at Aug 26, 1984 at 5:43 PM EST
	i love this song. i can't wait until i see weezer to heard this song live. such a beautiful song.

No Picture kelson Average	#3 by kelson white at Nov 19, 1994 at 5:33 AM EST
	It is by far one of the best =w= songs written. And I tink no one's really talking about the lyrics of the song because the lyrics of this song aren't what get you. It's the last 5 min. of the song when all it is is just music. There's no possible way for me to describe how I feel when listening to that part of the song. Except maybe that I feel like I've left this world for a short period of time.

No Picture cody Average	#4 by cody jay at Apr 9, 1995 at 5:34 PM EST
	have u ever seen that one show cowboy bebop? well this one guy made a kick ass little music video where this song reacted to the feelings and movement of the charaters, it was crazy I loved it

No Picture Armin Average	#6 by Armin at Jan 17, 1998 at 9:15 AM EST
	This song got me to be a Weezer fan. I used to hate their stuff, now I love it! The first time I heard it, I was hooked. I got me to think so deep.

No Picture Zac Wanna Be	#7 by Zac Fielder at Apr 22, 2002 at 7:24 PM EST
