VERSE 2 (PLAYED EXACTLY THE SAME) :

I never thought I could just bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong...

I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

I walked around my room
Not thinking
Just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much
Like somebody else
I never thought I would just
Bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong
Hope to God I figure out
I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out

I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

I walked around my room
Not thinking
Just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much
Like somebody else
I never thought I would just
Bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong
Hope to God I figure out
I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong

And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out

Verse 2: (in the song, the drums kick in here, so feel free to play a little
more aggressively if you like)

Bm                            G - Gsus2                          
I walked around my room not thinking, just sinking in this box

Bm                        G - Gsus2                    
I blame myself for being too much like somebody else

Bm                            G - Gsus2
Never thought I would just bend this way

         E                             G
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong....


Chorus:

D/F#           G        A - Asus2                       
If I don't make it, know that I loved you all along

D/F#           G      A - Asus2                  
Just like sunny days that we ignore because

D/F#          G        A - Asus2
We're all dumb and jaded

      Cadd2             Cmaj7              A 
and I hope to God I figure out what's wrong....


Bridge***: (you should be playing pretty heavy by this point)

Bm G D/F# A - Bm G D/F# Asus2 (1 full measure per chord)


        Cadd2            Cmaj7               A
And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong...

       Cadd2             Cmaj7               A
And I hope to God I figure out what's wraaaaawng...


Chorus:
D/F#           G        A - Asus2                          
If I don't make it, know that I loved you all along

D/F#           G    A - Asus2                    
Just like sunny days that we ignore because

D/F#          G        A - Asus2
We're all dumb and jaded

        Cadd2             Cmaj7              Asus4
and I hope to God I figure out what's WRAAAAAIIEEYAWNG!


Chorus:
D/F#           G        A - Asus2                       
And if I don't make it, know that I loved you all along

D/F#           G      A - Asus2                  
Just like sunny days that we ignore because

D/F#          G        A - Asus2
We're all dumb and jaded

        Cadd2 (hit it hard and just let it ring)
and I hope to God I figure...out...







FOOTNOTES: 

* Gsus2, Asus2/4, D/F#, Cadd2, & Cmaj7 chords are optional, but I feel they
add depth and richness to the song. Note that a chord like 'A - Asus2' just
indicates that you should switch to the sus2 at some point in the two
measures you'll be playing the chord.  It's something you just gotta feel.

Although none of these chords are particularly difficult to play, the basic
versions are helpfully listed underneath:

_ Gsus2 | Asus2 | Asus4 |  D/F# | Cadd2 | Cmaj7 (A.k.A. Em/C)
e   3         0       0       x        x       0
B   3         0       3       3        3       0

** Un-capo'ed, the chords are Cm, Ab, F, Eb, Bb, C#, and Fm7.  I don't hold
with dumb chords like D#, G#, or A#.

I know this isn't the actual bridge, but if
you're trying to play the song on acoustic guitar or piano, you really need
a guy behind you wailing on an electric guitar and stomping on a fuzzbox to
make the actual bridge not sound neurotic and disjointed.  My version flows
with the song well enough that nobody I've played it for has ever noticed
the difference.  Bridges exist so lead guitarists can show off their soloes,
whereas this version is designed to be played solo.  If you have a friend
who can wail, the actual bridge is: D C Bm G x4 .
