Chorus:
Alright, this is a troublesome part for me because of the layering. Obviously, the main
riff of the song IS played. But there's also that ascending
progression that I can't really pick out. I'm arranging it here as if Daniel is playing
along with the main riff, but it could be that there are power chords in the
background, or that the progression is only outlined on bass while guitars keep playing
main riff unaltered, or it could even be Johan doing the outlining. I'm
basing finger positions on a live video.

^ flutter wah pedal. In music video, Daniel is touching the string
at various places without producing any harmonics which is something
I have seen him do in live videos during songs like
so he really
could be doing that too, but I'm sticking with wah since
sounds more
like what he's doing, and it's easier to perform that way

She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come-what-may
And with that coldness on display, they held until today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her road of every grain
To stay in control
But now
She cries
Alive
Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored
She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line
To smile at those she'd passed
But now
She cries
Alive
Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up. And stored --
And sometimes
Oh, just sometimes
That's really all it takes:
A hand on her shoulder
Then she breaks
Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Yes then)
A word of kindness and she breaks
(She breaks)
And then the sum of damage done
(Well she breaks)
Spills out on stale linoleum
(She breaks)
Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(She breaks)
A gentle touch and then she breaks
(She breaks)
To see the sum of damage done
(She breaks)
Stain this linoleum
(Oh, she breaks)
Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Oh, she breaks)
A word or touch and then we break
(Oh, she breaks)
And all this world's linoleum
(She breaks)
Can't hold the sum of damage done --
(She's becoming her last casualty)
Itsy bitsy Spider
Climbed the water spout
(If she breaks then at last she'll be free)
Down Came the Rain
And washed the spider out
(But she keeps it together once more)
Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
(And runs another day to fight another war)
See she would rather drown
Than lose control
