The Prize

Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below

[D]                Night of a thousand verses
                [D]One thousand friends said have you [Am]heard
                [G]What we exp[D]ected
                [D]We are all working late and
                [D]Waiting to win a prize that we dont de[Am]serve
                [G]And live to [D]collect it

[F#m]    [G]            Cant you see Im weary
                [Em]Maybe this [C]news can [D]wait
                Night of a thousand verses
                One thousand strivers strain to hear
                The voice thats left us
                Magazines still have to sell us
                Twelve master geniuses a year
                Its all so shameless

Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary"

[B]                Ma[C]ybe there was a[G] message in it
                (I dont [Em]know where you hid it)
                [B]Maybe there was a [C][P stamp] with it   [G]
                (I dont [Em]know where to fit it)
                [B]Tell me what kind of [C]prize can you get [G]
                (When you [Em]dont want to win it)

Then back to D for a few bars.
Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and
with distorted guitar on top.

Then back to bridge exactly as above
Then chorus 2x.

When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is
[D]/[E]/[F#]/[F#]/[G]/[F#] (notes, not chords).  If you're playing
D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while
holding the chord, like this:

E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p
B---3---3--------------------
G---1------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so
the chord continues to sound.  You may find easier
places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
