Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself
And pinpoint where I am
By the time I get things figured out
I've change the whole damn plan
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon
I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

version 3
Tuning: EADGBe
Intro:
E5 G#5 F#5 E5
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-9----13----11----9---|
D|-9----13----11----9---|
A|-7----11----9-----7---|
E|----------------------|
It sounds best if you start the first E5 with a down stroke(toward the 1st string) and
second E5 with an up stroke (towards the 6th string). Or maybe I'm just crazy.
Continue to play this progression with a different strumming pattern throughout most of
song.
Solo (1:40 into the song):
Palm Mute
e|-------------------------------|
B|-12-9h10h12-12-9h10h12-12-10-9-|
G|-9--9-------9--9-------9--9--9-| x2
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
Play that twice and then this:
Harmonics Palm Mute Harmonics
e|-+12+12+-------+12+12+-----------------+12+12+-------+12+12+-----|
B|--------+12+12+--------+12+-12-9-10-7---------+12+12+------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| x2
D|------------------------------------------------------------12---|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Then repeat the entire solo one more time and then go back into the intro chords. After
them for a while start playing this next part which starts at about 2:43 minutes into
song.
Talking shit...
e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|----12----12----12----12---8---8------------------|
G|-12----12----11----11----9---9---------8h10-8h10--| repeat this a
D|---------------------------------11-11------------| bunch of times
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
Then Isaac Brock just repeats this a bunch of times and then goes off on a bunch of
things that are pretty much based on this.
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself
And pinpoint where I am
By the time I get things figured out
I've change the whole damn plan
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
