version 2
TUNING: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (both Guitars)
Also, the whole song is played with a 4/4 rhythm, and Guitar I
needs to mute the strings on the off beat and slam the strings
with the right hand, whether you're strumming or picking!
IMPORTANT!: these are the chords that guitar 1 plays, at least,
these are what I use for this song:
D Am7 Am7/E Em* Dm7 G G* G** F Cmaj7 Em

E||--10---5---0-----12---10---3---3---3---1---8--------||
Ok, on to the song! For the intro, guitar one (the chords above the tab)
and guitar two (the tab) plays this:
I. x Am Am/E Am

It looks tough, I know, but it isn't really! Just use some sweep or
fast-ish picking to play Guitar II's part, and if you're really struggling
then just leave out the soft notes (the ones in brackets)
For the verses, Guitar II randomly and quietly picks around Cmaj7 along
with Guitar I, using these chord shapes:
I. F G Cmaj7 E Am
II. e||----------------------||
B||--8---8---8-----8--8--||
G||--9---9---9-----9--9--||
D||----------10-------7--||
A||--8---10--------7-----||
E||----------------------||
And Guitar I plays the chords at the top of this tab along with the song
as I've tried to show here!:
F G
..............If you want to be my friend,
Cmaj7 Em
..............and you want us to get along,
F G
..............Please do not expect me to
Cmaj7 Em
..............wrap it up and keep it there,
F G
..............The observation I am doing could
Cmaj7 Em
..............easily be understood,
F G
..............As cynical demeanour,
Cmaj7 Em
..............but one of us misread.
F G Cmaj7 Em
..............What do you know, it happened
F G Am Cmaj7
again.....................................
Repeat all that for the second verse, except when it comes to
this part, where you play something different:
G Cmaj7 Em
..............What do you know, it happened
F G Cmaj7 D
again.....................................
After this you play the first part of the intro again, but before you
get to the sweep picking for Guitar II, you go back into the third verse,
which is the same as the first, except when you come to this part, which
is played differently again!:
G Am Cmaj7 F G Am Cmaj7
..............what do you know, it happened again,......................
Then just play the sweep picking part of the intro again twice, except
on the last time, don't change to Cmaj7, and just end on the Am, with
Guitar II playing this:
Am Am/E Am
e||---------------------------------------12----------------------------------||
B||---------------------------------12-------12-----------12---------12-12----||
G||-------12-------12----(12)---(12)--(12)------12----(12)------(12)----------||
D||---(14)------14---(14)-----14------------------(14)------(14)--------------||
A||-14------(14)--------------------------------------------------------------||
E||---------------------------------------------------------------------------||
If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread
And what do you know?
It happened again
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
Friendship is an end
What do you know?
It happened again
How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
What do you know?
It happened again
What do you know?
