Play Chorus again & end song on harmonics
Come on in and take me on an override
Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's (in a daze?)
Now trouble's far away, and mother's in her cage
And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
(I wanna make you right)
Close the door and pull the shades
And climb the walls
Feel medicine heal the lines of age
I'm here and now I'm gone
I'm there and far beyond
And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
I'm on the wire
Over and higher
Over the pretense
Over the spire
On and connected
I'm overfloated now
Alone
Breathe and take it in and gently blow it out
drink it down and swallow hard again
Hold the potion up
Stare your shadow down
Remember to forget it every day, your shame
I wanna make it right
Key:
h hammer-on
p pull-off
/ slide up
\ slide down
<> harmonic notes
NH natural harmonic (lightly touch string above that fret)
b string bend
~ vibrato (affect pitch of note by shaking your fret hand/finger)
