NOTE: the above riffs are played by a 2nd guitar while the other guitar
plays the below chords
G
Hey you! Up in the sky, learning to fly, tell me how high
Fadd9 Cadd6 G
Do you think you'll go, before you start fallin'
G
Hey you! Up in the tree, you wanna be me, well that couldn't be
Fadd9 Cadd6 G
'cos the people here, they don't hear you callin'
[Refrão]C A7/C#
How does it feel
G (w/ main riff)
When you're inside me.
Verse 2
-------
same chords and riffs used as verse 1
Hey you! wearing the crown, making no sound, I heard you feel down
Well that's too bad, welcome to my world
Hey you! stealing the light, I heard that the shine's gone out of your
life
Well that's just too bad, welcome to my world
C A7/C#
So how does it feel
G
When you're inside me?
Bridge

Before you've breathed it in

So how does it feel when you're inside me

the fill played by guitar 2. It sounds cool if you're only playing with
one guitar (that is, if you're not playing with somebody else) :)
