 Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu) 
  
 Note: Throughout most of the song, guitar 1 is completely on the 
 left channel, and guitar 2 is completely right. 
  
 Intro: 
 Guitar 1 plays this four times, 
 |--------------------| 
 |--------------0--0--| 
 |--------------9--9--| 
 |--2--2--------9--9--| 
 |--2--2--------7--7--| 
 |--0--0--0--0--0--0--| 
                                                                        
  
 On the last repeat, guitar 2 enters with: 
 |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--| 
 |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--| 
 |--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--| 
 |--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--| 
 |--------------------------| 
 |--------------------------| 
  
 Then both guitars go to an F#m and then an A chord: 
 |--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--| 
 |--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--| 
 |--2--2--2--2--|--6--6--6--6--|  guitar 1 replaces the F# on the 1st 
 |--4--4--4--4--|--7--7--7--7--|  string with an A (xx4225) 
 |--------------|--0--0--0--0--| 
 |--------------|--------------| 
  
 Then back to the E: 
 Guitar 1                Guitar 2

 Verse: 
 Guitar 2 plays the same E F#m A progression it did in the intro 
 Guitar 1 plays the part tabbed out: 
 E      E               F#m                   A           E

 E                E 
 Get away from me                         F#m 
 just get away from me this isn't gonna be easy 
 A 
 but I don't need you 
 E 
 believe me 
 you got a piece of me 
 but it's just a little piece of me 
 but I don't need anyone 
 and these days I feel like I'm fading away 
      F#m              A                  E 
 like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio

 D   Asus4 D      E     A (sus4)  
 I was out on the radio starting to change 
 somewhere out in America  
 it's starting to rain 
 could you tell me the things you remember about me 
 Bm           A       E 
 and have you seen me lately? 
  
 I remember me 
 and all the little things 
 that make up a memory 
 like she said she loved to watch me sleep 
 like she said,                     * (w/ fill 2) 
 "it's the breathing in and out and in and..."

 Guitar 1 holds the last E chord from the solo 
  
 I guess I thought that someone would notice 
 I guess I thought somebody would say something 
          F#m     A 
 if I was missing 
 can't you see me?
