Tuning: Standard


Sect. 1 (Played during INTRO and "Hurry Hurry Hurry")

e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----11-----9-----9-----9-----9--|
E|--5-----9------7-----7-----7-----7-----| (play 5 times during INTRO)

Sect. 2 (VERSE)

(Oh my wrists are weak...)

Here are two versions of it.
The first is the way I play, and below that is a version that requires less of a stretch.
Either way works (because the notes aren’t changed, just the placement on the neck).

Version 1:

e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|-----12-----------11------------9------------7--|
E|--9------------7------------5------------4------| (slide back up to 9 on E when repeating)

Version 2:

E|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----7------------6------------4------------2--|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
E|--9------------7------------5------------4-----|

At “Hurry hurry hurry” play Sect. 1 again 3 times


Sect. 3.1

(Don't judge a book by the size of its wrists...)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----9-----11-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--|
E|--5-----7-----9------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----|

Sect. 3.2

(Separated for simplification of the outro. "Sect. 3" means both 3.1 AND 3.2 are played 
without pause)
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----11-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9--|
E|--5-----9------7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----|


Order of play:


Intro - Sect. 1 x5
Verse 1 - Sect. 2 x4
Chorus 1a - Sect. 1 x3
Verse 2 - Sect. 2 x4
Chorus 2a - Sect. 1 x3
Chorus 2b - Sect. 3 x2 (second time through, play the 7-9 repetition 8 times
instead of 6)
Verse 3a - Sect. 2 x4
Chorus 3a - Sect. 1 x3
Verse 3b - Sect. 2 x2
Chorus 3b - Sect. 1 x3
Chorus 3c - Sect. 3 x1
            Sect. 3.1 x2 (SKIP Sect. 3.2 this time)
            Sect. 3.2 x1 (repeating '7-9' 8 times instead of 6)
            Sect. 3 ENDING x1 (see below)*


*This whole last part is different, if you hadn't noticed.
It becomes a bit jumpier at this point, with the sections becoming slightly shorter.
Not terribly complicated, but for the sake of accuracy here it is.

Sect. 3 ENDING looks like this (this is how the song ends):

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Oh, my wrists are weak,
But if I could, Id lift your body-
Out of a crash of the waves,
out of bed or onto me
Working too hard gets me acting like a letter;
So, before you tell me youre not worth the worry 
Hurry.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.
I like to hurry when Im wanting you.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Make me go without a word,
Get so crazy when you shut up.
Wake up in a panic,
Room is dark you know this body.
Could be this way with almost just anybody,
So put me next to the window;
put me next to the light.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.
I like to hurry when Im wanting you.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
(Hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)
Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
(Hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)

Oh, my egos weak,
So thought if I could lift your body
And wake up out of air;
The nights too short,
Youre onto me.
Why am I always acting timid and too careful?
Please, before I tell you Im not worth the worry-
Hurry.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.
I like to hurry when Im wanting you
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Oh my wrists are weak,
I carry weight like a shadow.
So put me next to the window,
Put me next to the light.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.
I like to hurry when Im wanting you.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
(Hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)
Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
(Hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry)
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry)
Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry)
Dont judge a book by the size of its wrists.
Are you undecided?
(Hurry, hurry)
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
