by Too Much Joy (from the album "...finally")

(transcribed by Jason Finestone ([email protected]))

NOTE: C is played like (x32033)
D/F# is an open D chord with an F# in the bass

Verse:

[G] There [D/F#]is no [Em]space[C]

[G] For what you [D/F#]need to [Em]know[C]

[G] [D/F#]I'm the [Em]forms that [C]I must [G]fill out.[D/F#][Em][C]

I'm happiest alone
I'm miserable that way
All this stuff just wants to spill out.

Pre-chorus:

C G (bass: G F# E)
I take pleasure

[Em] in the simple thi[A]ngs

C G (bass: G F# E)
I love my headphones

[Em] and my wedding rin[D]g

Chorus: (same rhythm as verse)

[G]Are you talking [D/F#]to me now or [Em]reading from a [C]script?

[G]What's that supposed to [D/F#]mean you say you [Em]wanna be your[C]self?

[G]I don't think you [D/F#]really know just [Em]who the hell that [C]is.

[Em] You spend [Am]half your life

C (back to verse pattern)
pretending you're like everybody else.

(like everybody else)

Verse 2:

I tell the same joke
many different ways
but you never seem to get it.

You're jerking off
to catalogs
don't you feel a bit pathetic?

(Pre-chorus)

Chorus:

You spend half your life remembering your life when you were young
half your life dreaming how much better life can get
well everytime you make a choice, hey half your life is gone

All you've got's a few good dreams
divided into many small regrets.
(like everybody else)

Solo (over verse)

Verse 3:

I never take any pictures
just try to remember
all I remember is trying.

Here's a story I like
I think it happened to me
I don't even know
if I'm lying
if I'm lying
if I'm lying

Chorus:

Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
Well I don't think you really know just who the hell that is
No I don't think you have a clue just who the hell that is
So what's your half life?
So what's your half life?
So what's your half-life?
So what's your half life?

You spend half your life
pretending you're like everybody else.

[G] [D/F#] [Em] [C]
[G]
