Lyrics/Chords below taken directly from the_ashtraygirl's tab
=============================================================
C
That's alright, that's okay
Am
I can wait, you're still a fly
G
Eating through, trying to live within the space you're in
C
But still, you're just a kid
Am G
You shouldn't read Dostoevsky at your age
C
That and nicotine will make you pale and lean
Am
And twist your face like Mr. Grays
G
Though it just manifests in paintings that you make
C
Or else your eyes will stay the same
Am G
Are you that hungry for a change?
Chorus
======
First off, the last bar of the Verse will change slightly going into the chorus. New tab
as follows. (this is why you're playing a barred G instead of the usual G shape.)
G
e|-----------------|
b|-------3---------|
G|-------4---------|
D|---5---5---3-----|
A|---------------5-|
E|-3---3---3---3---|
And the actual chorus. (not sure how to denote this in tab, basically a slide in between
listen to the track if you're not sure what i mean) Occasionally towards the end Willy
the chorus just a little by hammering onto the 1st fret on the B string during the 2nd
bar in the sequence, worth a try if you want to spice things up a little.

You're..
Dm7
You're waking up
Cmaj7
You're flying out
Dm7
The door has sprung loose
Cmaj7
Don't forget me
The "I wrote this to annoy Hosho" bit at the end
================================================
I swear Willy only put this part in to make my job more difficult.. ^.^;

Then it came and rained on..
Then it came and rained on down, from the sky and onto my head
I tried to think but it was too fast, so I just said anything that came (at last)
Play the chorus one last time and yer done.

Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
That's alright, that's okay
We can just run away
And justify our escape with the games that we play
And when we get there
I will say "Hey baby"
Maybe you would laugh a lot
Because that's not something I usually say
But that's no reason
Why I got on the tip of my tongue
And that's still okay
D D
You're waking up
C C
You're flying out
