                           Bass only: I wrote her off for the 10th time today
                                       I practiced hard all the things I would
 say
                                           When she came over, I lost my nerve
                                           I took her back and made her
 desssert

 CONTINUE SAME PATERN FOR THREE MORE LINES OF PRE-CHORUS:

 CONTINUE RHYTYM PART 3

  Well I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
 When she's saying..ah... that I'm like a diease
 well I wonder how much more I can stand
 Well I guess I should stand up for myself
 But I really think it's better this way
 The more you suffer...the more it shows you really care...
 
 PLAY RHYTHM FIG. 1A one time
 Right?.....Yeah,yeah...
 
 BASS PART AGAIN, FOLLOWED BY

 Latye at night, she knocks on my door
 She's drunk again and lookin' to score
 PLAY RTHYM FILL 1
 THEN RHYTHM FIG. 2 4X
 I know I should say no..
 But's it's kinda hard when she's ready to go
 I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
 I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
 
 THEN PLAY RTHYM FIG.1   4X
 yeah...oh,......yeah....oh...yeahyeah
 
 Play Rhtym Figure 3 7X
 When she's saying
 that she wants only me
 Well I wonder why she sleeps with my firends
 When she's saying
 Ah, that I'm like a diesase
 Well I wonder how much more I can stand
 Well I guess I should stick up for myself
 But I really think It's better this way
 the more you suffer, the more you really care...
 
 PLAY RYHTYM Fig. 1 1X
 Right? Yeah, yeah

 I'm working on a few others to send up, like "Genocide" and "It'll Be a Long
 Time." When I get 'em seperated (I mean figured out) I'll send 'em up.
 Any comments about screw-ups, how lame I am with tab, or just general flames
 about how I wouldn't know the correct chord if it hit me in the head with a
 2X4 and buried me in a shallow grave can be directed to MEGGABILL@aol.com
 
 Thanks again, and don't get too mad if I screwed up. Remember, it's not like
 you paid for this or anything!

 Such attitudes
