The bit "tacked on" at the end is an incidental that sometimes appears through the riff. Listen to the song and you'll here it. The chord progression throughout is C Am F, but if you're only playing chords try playing C , Am7 and Fadd2 over the chorus instead of the normal C Am F. Lyrics/Chords: C Am You're as tired as a hunter's trap F Hidden well C What are you concealing Am Poker face carved in stone F Almost friends but all alone C Why do you hide? Am Say something, say something, anything F I've shown you everything C Give me a sign Am Say something, say something, anything F Your silence is deafening C Pay me in kind Am Take a drug to set you free F Strange fruit from a forbidden tree C You've got to come down soon Am More than a drug is what I need F Need a change of scenery C Need a new life Am Say something, say something, anything F I've shown you everything C Give me a sign Am Say something, say something, anything F Your silence is deafening C Pay me in kind Am Say something, say something, anything F I've shown you everything C Give me a sign Am I'm open, wide open, wondering F Have you swallowed everything C Pay me in kind Transcribed by Alex Carter 2001. alex@shandy3000.fsnet.co.uk
