 these next chords, i don't know what they are called, so I will make
 my own names for them (they are correct, i just don't know what they are
 called.

 guitar parts:
 the verse very simply goes like this (this is also the first thing you
 hear when you play the song. At times the other guitar comes in and
 plays the same chord at a different spot on the fretboard. when that
 happens, then you play the C(I), the B(I), the G(I), and the F#(I)
 progression while another guitar just plays the regular verse riff.
(you must  play the Cand the C#(I), the B and the B(I), the G and the
 G(I), and the Fand the F#(I) at the same time for the song to sound
 right)
 when the other guitar comes in and plays the C(I), the B(I) etc., you
 could definately hear it in the begining and he plays this progression
 at various places throughout the song.
 the chorus is pretty easy, it goes like this
 rythem fill 1:
 at .23 seconds, .47 seconds, etc. the guitar plays this,
 it just slides down from a G to an F:
 it goes:
E|--------|
B|--------|
G|--------|
D|--5//4--|
A|--5//4--|
E|--3//2--|
 the bass just plays the above progression (but if you wanted to you
could play along with the bass with an clean electric guitar). A guitar
plays the below part a couple of times.
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|----------15---------|
D|------15-----15--13--|
A|--13-----------------|
E|---------------------|
 bass guitar:
 this is played during the verse (when just the bass, drums and vocals are
going) and is played when the guitar plays the C-B-G-F# progression
verse
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|--4-4-4-2-2-2---------------|
E|--------------3--3-3-2-3-0--|
 lyrics:
 could not believe
 came here today
 helmet was on
 you blew me away
 house is on fire
 we're naked again
 maybe all we need
 is water and friends
 shackless and chains
 won't keep me away
 temple is you
 and my brow is insane
 i wanna be just like you
 i wanna feel right through you
 i wanna see just with you
 i wanna live
 i wanna die
 thinning ice
 14 hairdryers
 swimming to you
 flame on earth desire
 poor on the rise
 rich on the fall
 the cripple's with you
 fame is a whore
 i wanna fit inside you
 i wanna room inside you
 if money talks i wanna buy you
 i wanna die
 i wanna die
 i wanna live you
 i'm not scared of you
 gave up on drugs
 if i make it through
 the jaws of love
 jaws of love
 you give
 p.s. download it and print it out in notepad in windows
 oh......by the way, i have most of body figured out and most of monkey, i
 should post them pretty soon.
