["The Ocean’s Rising" part]
1st Time: David plays the sampled verse on the DL4 with the speed doubled
2nd Time: The sample returns and David goes nuts tremolo picking some notes I can’t figure out, but you
can just improvise something cool, which I think is what he actually did, even for the recording. I know
it starts on the G string, 13th fret, and then you can go nuts!
Couldn't sleep so I crushed up sleeping pills
Stared into a shot of whiskey
I hit the bottle like a brick
Shattered it on my anxiety
Kinda cheap 'til they started counting me
Trying to read, the words gave me nothing
Now I'm faded, useless, unless you come home
You come home
Every nightmare comes true when I'm alone
Come home
So tired, sleep becomes a lost art
I find how I'm scared of
So tired, I never want anyone
Think about you like you never left
Now I'm faded, useless, unless you come home
You come home
Every nightmare comes true when I'm alone
Come home
Oh yeah
Let me forget your name
Let me forget your, let me forget your name
Oh yeah
When will you evaporate?
When will you evaporate?
The ocean's rising
Woke up, I've been sleeping
Ain't a fear I'm keeping
What about the boat?
It's sinking
I can't find a crack that's leaking
Now I'm faded, useless, unless you come home
You come home
Every nightmare comes true when I'm alone
Come home
Now I'm faded, useless, unless you come home
You come home
Every nightmare comes true when I'm alone
Come home
Oh yeah
Let me forget your name
Let me forget your, let me forget your name
Oh yeah
When will you evaporate?
When will you evaporate?
The ocean's rising
Oh yeah
Let me forget your name
Let me forget your, let me forget your name
Oh yeah
When will you evaporate?
When will you evaporate?
The ocean's rising
Oh yeah
Let me forget your name
Let me forget your, let me forget your name
Oh yeah
When will you evaporate?
When will you evaporate?
The ocean's rising
Oh yeah
The ocean's rising
The ocean's rising
The ocean's rising
The ocean's rising
