    Bridge:
  • Basically I'm too lazy to type this out, but here is what the bridge consists of. It's
    basically the same chord progression in the intro...you play each chord lightly at first, then,
    start hammering the chord harder, like it's building up steam, then slide to the next chord.
  • You most likely didn't understand what I said...but you'll know if you listen to the song.
     
    Solo:
  • I dont' have the solo either. I've seen some solos for the song, but they don't sound totally
    right. If you'd like to try the solo, go to the tabulature section at http://www.failure.org.
     
  • Outro:
    Don't have it either, sorry...maybe if I update this I'll include it.

    Lyrics:
     
  • I got high
    On scrapings from my nails
    Now I'm back down
  • My eyes are growing dark
    My burnt spoon
    Has dried beneath the bed
  • And I'm dreaming of
    Dirty blue balloons
     
  • I've waited so long without you
    I've waited too long for you
     
  • He came in
    He didn't speak my language
    I paid him
  • With everything I had
    And promised next time he opened up his mouth
    And then they floated out
  • Dirty blue balloons
     
    Nothing helps
  • And no one else
    Can make it feel okay
    Float me through the day
  • Nothing helps
    And no one else
    Can make it feel alright
  • Float me through the night
    I cannot let them go
    Dirty blue balloons
