2x

We meet [D]face to face [G]always risking abs[D]urdity.
[G]Wondering will you [D]tire of me, it's a sleight of [A]hand.
Well I [D]bet you won't catch me, catch me if you [G]can.

The world's a [D]wonderful place
If you [G]don't mind laughing at [D]your mistakes,
If you [G]don't mind feeling like you've [D]lost your brakes,
And if you don't [A]mind a touch of [Bm]hell every now and th[D]en.

You [D]don't really know me,
The [G]watery muck flowing [D]through my veins?
The [G]psycho-babble [D]on my brain,
Well it's all the [A]rage.       [Bm]

[Bm]And it drives men [A]wild,
This life un[Bm]seen,

And I'll do [A]anything

To come clean.

REPEAT

[D]When did everything change?
Is this a[G]che some new twist on [D]growing pains.
[G]Holding a fist 'til the [D]blood is drained
The nails dig [A]in. They may break your [Bm]skin every now and [D]then.      [G]
Now I'm [D]yearning disabled
Lo[G]nging for nothing I'm [D]certain of.
[G]Somehow reluctant to [D]rise above
All the [A]rage.      [Bm]

[Bm]And it drives men [A]wild,
This life u[Bm]nseen.
Tonight I'll do [A]anything, sweet Jesus,

To come clean.

Notes:  1.  Although Brian is usually playing the power chords on the
bottom three strings, sometimes he throws in the open higher strings
too especially at the end of a phrase.

2.  The main melodic riff can be used any time you have the D to G
chord pattern; listen for when Brian does and when he doesn't.

3.  Most of the treble noodling is done by Jason around fairly
conventional fingerings for the chords.  If you find yourself wanting
to hear notes in certain places, try to add them.

4.  My reference point is how H&F played it circa 1996 so there may be
some discrepancies with the version on "Live" especially in the melodic
riff.

5.  I tried to make rhythms clear, but they are--of
course--approximate.
