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!)

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-------------------------|---------------------------------|

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-------|
