Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
C Em
And drunk on your parents' favorite wine

All the things I remember

Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
G C Em D F G
Like air guitar in muscle cars with perfect teeth the way we are

Back in '95 more def than alive I wrote the screenplay to Lack of Direction
G C Em D F
Late night movie dates with girls who skate and I just can't relate

F G C Em
I'm drunk once again watching reruns of night court on cable TV
D C
All the things I remember

Were they worth writing down
[Chorus 2]
G C Em D F
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T's
G C Em D F G
Like air guitar in muscle cars with perfect teeth the way we are
[Bridge 1]
Am F C
Wake up, thought that everybody loved me
Am F C
Wake up, thought that everybody cared
Am F C
Wake up, thought that I might have the strength to carry on
Am F C
Wake up, turns out that I'm barely barely holding on
[Bridge 2]
G C Em D F
Hey hey hey it's been quite a long time
G C Em D F
I , I don't miss last November
G C Em D F
Alright, yeah it's time for a high-five
G C Em D F
Hey hey, hey it's been quite a long time
[Chorus 1]
G C Em D F
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
G C Em D F
With lack of memory I fail to question why
G
Why?

Tuning: EbAbDbGbBbeb
The very first guitar bit after the drums start
(with distortion)
e----------------------------|
G----------------------------|
D----------------------------|

E----5/7--------5/7----------|
The second guitar then comes in with less distortion
(please note the palm muted 'B chord' starts at the second '5/7' from the part
that doesn't confuse people!

This main rifft isn't what the distorted guitar actually plays, but I prefer playing
riff to the one on the record, I've tabbed both out just so people don't get arsey with me!

Please note that there are two guitars playing, and I've tabbed out the only one I can
work out. It's pretty much the same as the above one but with a couple of changes-the
one encorperates both guitar parts!

The chorus is the same as whichever 'Intro riff' you choose to use. The second verse is
same as the first, however, after the first chorus, an undistorted guitar brings in the
verse by playing this
e------------------|

G------------------|
D--9999999999999999
A--9999999999999999
E--7777777777777777
The second chorus ends a little bit differently to the first one, but I tabbed out the
of it, not just the end-for ease I've just used the actual version on the record.

The next bit doesn't really have a guitar part-there is one there, but I can't work it
It doeasn't matter though, you can get away without playing anything.
The next bit is just the verse palm muted, thus!

Intro/chorus riff
*I like playing both guitars in one part; if you want to do that, use the alternate
of the chorus instead of the guitar 1 part. Listen to the song for the rhythm, of course.
note-picking might be hard to hear with all the power chords if you don’t use enough distortion.

Bridge part 2
*Here’s where the other tab didn’t have anything. The exact notes are hard to hear, but
is what one of the guitars plays; the other guitar either doesn’t play or plays this an
lower. I think the bass also plays these same notes. The rhythm is weird if you’re
to sing and play at the same time, but you can get it if you listen to the song.
