The bass starts mixing it up as the song goes on, but it's
pretty much just variations on the above.

riff 1
F# E B
Why drink the water from my hand?
A F#
Contagious as you think I am
F# E B
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
A F#
Your cup runneth over again
F#
Don't scream about
E
Don't think aloud
B A
Turn your head now baby
A F#
Just spit me out
F#
Don't worry about
E
Don't speak of doubt
B A
Turn your head now baby
A F#
Just spit me out
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance, and vanity
Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
