As the song progresses, Trey uses less and less muting, so use your judgment. (for chords that you don't know, see the chord chart at the end) Chorus G A But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned G E7 As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned G A And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue G A Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun G A All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone G Can't this wait till I'm old? (use main riff) Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? Guitar solo - Solo in blues E for a while, and then here is the ending solo part (plagerized COMPLETELY from David's original TAB) END-OF-SOLO RIFF LEAD-IN Riff 1 (repeat 4 times, last time to end riff) E|---------|-------------------------|--------------------------| B|---------|-------------------------|--------------------------| G|---12----|12-13--------------------|----------14--------14-15-| D|------14-|------14-12--------14----|11-----------10-----------| A|---------|----------------14-------|--------------------------| E|---------|-------------------------|--------------------------| 1.,2.,& 3.
