Album: Bring You Own Stereo
Tabbed By: William Low
Released: August 24, 1999
This is just how I hears it. The ending part of the
riff is pretty much dead wrong but it sounds close enough.
The Bridge I don't have yet. As great as this song sounds, I
just hope that this song won't spoil them and then be made like the
Offspring . . . Teeny-Bopper Rock (but thats just MY opinion).

My GUESS SHOT at the lyrics:
Intro (First Verse):
A
Won't make the bed up straight
C#7
I always stay out late
D7
I never take you out
Dm7
That's what you're all about
A
I always smell like smoke
C#7
Everything's just a joke
D7
I never look at you
Dm7
When you come hear me sing . . .
Pre-Chorus:
A
These are not all the
C#7
Many simple things
D7 Dm7
You can find wrong with me, once would you tell me please . . .
Chorus:
A C#7 D7 Dm7
What do I do, What do I do, What do I do, What do I do right? (x2)
Riff
Second Verse:
(This part is mainly the bass)
I never talk to you
Be who you want me to
My music's way too loud
My friends are all so proud
Say I'm just wasting hope
I could not thread the rope
More than my pocket's broke
And you don't see a ring
Pre-Chorus:
(Same as before)
These are not all of the
Infantesimal things
You can find wrong with me, but you tell me please . . .
Chorus
Bridge:
Wanted to play the game
Yes you're right ( <----I'm unsure about this line of lyrics )
Losing the game doesn't mean
That we're losing the fight
Drum Break
Chorus
Outro
