Intro: Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below
Verse1: D
Night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
G DWhat we expected
DWe are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize that we dont deserve
G DAnd live to collect it
Chorus F#m G
Cant you see Im weary
Em C DMaybe this news can wait
Verse2:
Night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
The voice thats left us
Magazines still have to sell us
Twelve master geniuses a year
Its all so shameless
Chorus: Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary"
Bridge: B C G
Maybe there was a message in it
Em(I dont know where you hid it)
B C GMaybe there was a [P stamp] with it
(I dont know where to fit it)
B C GTell me what kind of prize can you get
Em(When you dont want to win it)
Then back to D for a few bars.
Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and
with distorted guitar on top.
Then back to bridge exactly as above
Then chorus 2x.
When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is
D/E/F#/F#/G/F# (notes, not chords). If you're playing
D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while
holding the chord, like this:
E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p
B---3---3--------------------
G---1------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so
the chord continues to sound. You may find easier
places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
