 Somebody  told me about a worn  out distraction
 That  I had let slip away
 Then  it comes back and rides my  shoulders
 And  burdens me every new day
 Well  I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
 And  try to figure out how to do without  you
 (with distortion)
 Who's  going to straighten  me up when  I'm leaning
 Who's  going to soothe  my heart  when it's burning
 Who's  going to be  the one  to tell  me everything's alright
 Well,  Goodnight, Good Guy
 (x2)
 I'll  break the bread of a new  day and wonder
 If  Faith will carry me along

 But  days are longer as my heart  gets weaker and
 I  can only stay so strong
 Well  I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
 Who's  finding it difficult to just let go
 (with distortion)
 I'm  gonna let you sleep
 I'll  let you fade off in the night
 I  pray the Lord to keep
 I  pray the Lord to hold you tight
 Well,  goodnight.
 Sorry guys, this is a great solo and I'd like to keep it that way. I can
 barely get down the
 main parts of this solo, and anything that I transcribe wouldn't be worthy
 of posting. The
 chords over the solo are from the Chorus. Then the chorus is played twice.
 The second
 time, the lyrics are played around with a little and finally the song ends
 with guitar riff 1
 played twice.

Sorry guys, this is a great solo and I'd like to keep it that way.  I can
barely get down the
main parts of this solo, and anything that I transcribe wouldn't be worthy
of posting.  The
chords over the solo are from the Chorus.  Then the chorus is played twice.
The second
time, the lyrics are played around with a little and finally the song ends
with guitar riff 1
played twice.
