Verse:

Riff A, bass only

Crawled away from me, slipped away from me
Tried to keep you home, but there was nothing I could say

Guitar enters, playing root notes with bass

Slid away from me, crept away from me
Tried to keep you down, but there was nothing I could say

Riff A, full blast

What you're tryin' to say is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need don't mean that much to me

Chorus:

Riff C (time sig. changes to 9/8 - watch out!)

g |-------2-----5-----4-----------------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4-----------------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2-| <- 1st and 3rd times, lift finger
e |-2-----------------------------------| slightly to get muffled harmonic
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 sounds on single notes

I can see your
Back is turn- ing
If I could I'd

(time changes to 10/8 for last measure)
g |-------2-----5-----4---------------------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4---------------------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
e |-2---------------------------------------|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Stick a knife in!


Bass plays Riff A again under this lead:

g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |---------------------------------|-2/4-4-2-4~--2-4---4---4~--------|
a |--h------------------------------|--h------------------------------|
e |-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2---2---2---0-2~--|---------------------------------|

d |--h------------------------------|--h--------------b---r-----------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Verse 2:

Bass plays Riff A

Crawled away from me, slipped away from me
Tried to keep you home, but there was nothing I could say

Bass plays Riff A, guitar plays the following variation:

g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |-----------------------------2/4-|-----------------------0-----0---|
a |--h----------------2---4~--4--h--|--h----------------2---0---------|
e |-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2-----------------|-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2-----------------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

Slid away from me, crept away from me

Then guitar and bass both play root notes as in first verse:

Tried to keep you down, but there was nothing I could say

Riff A again, full blast:

What you're tryin' to say is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need don't mean that much to me

Chorus is played the same as before, fourth time Riff C leads into Riff D
as follows:
Riff D repeat 4 times
g |-5-----4-------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |-5-----4-------------------5-5---|-4-------------------------5-5---|
a |-3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5---|-4-------(pick scrape)-----5-5---|
e |-------------------------0-3-3-0-|-2-------( 4th time )---0-3-3-0-|
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 4

Is this love? (2x)
This is my love for you (2x)

Riff D, variation (measures stretched to accomodate the faster picking)

g |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
d |-4---------------4---------------4-------------------5---5-------|
a |-4---------------4---------------2-------------------5---5-------|
e |-2-------x-x-x-x-2-------x-x-x-x-2-------x-x-x-x-0---3---3---0---|
1 2 3 4

This is my love for you (3x)
This is my love............

Switch to doubletime feel. Bass and guitar play 16th notes on low F# for
six measures, then guitar switches to F# on D string 4th fret for next
two measures. Next eight measures, bass stays on F# and guitar plays:

a |----|-4~-|-5~-|-2~-|-4~-|----|-----------------|-------b---r-----|
e |-2~-|----|----|----|----|-0~-|-0-2---0-2---0-2-|---0-2-/-3-\-2---|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

End doubletime feel
Riff A:
Say you won't go.....

Riff B (actually, play last two measures of Riff B twice)
(mumbled) Won't go... won't go... say it...

3rd "verse" - Bass plays Riff A once while guitar holds last F# of Riff B

Riff A, guitar plays root notes only:
(Vocal rests first two measures)
Get you in a strangle hold baby... Get it 'til you get it right

Riff A full blast once again:

What you're tryin' to say is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need don't make a fuck to me

Chorus - Riff C four times again, last time ends like this:

g |-------2-----5-----4-------------------------|---------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4-------------------5-5---|-4-------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5---|-4-------|
e |-2-----------------------------------0-3-3-0-|-2-------|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
