(riff 1) 3x

e
heartbroken and attractive
a sad sloppy mess
e
looking for approval
easily impressed

e
beware they say

but why would I listen
I need to know what I’ve been missing
e
I’m no one you can trust
all little boy lonely and curious lust

e
confusion turns me upside down

I’m lost as quickly as I’m found
soon enough it turns around

on the rebound

(riff 1) 1x

e
call it fate or true love
never forced romance
e
fell into a new love
maybe perfect love by chance

e
beware they say

but why would I listen
when it feels this good
e
no one lives their life
doing all the things they say they should

e
confusion turns me upside down

I’m lost as quickly as I’m found
soon enough it turns around
e d
on the rebound
e d
on the rebound

on the rebound

I don’t know the exact way to play the outro, I think Jason Loewenstein plays the chords
a kind of solo feel, or he plays two guitars on the record. This is the ‘base’:

d#|————————————————————————|

Here are all the lyrics and the opening riff for Sebadoh’s “Together or
Alone.” Hopefully someone else out there will get jacked enough to figure
out the rest (currently my ear is baffled).

Repeat a couple of times with slight variations

It was never my intention
To blindly feed the boy cocaine
I know romance isn’t everything
But I’m obsessing just the same

Because today I don’t feel worthy
You seem so beautiful and strong
These unsure hands could never soothe you
Too afraid of doing something wrong

And this confusion runs me down
Until I feel like another stranger
And could I help you grow
I guess we’ll never know

Set up for the let down
These things happen all the time
I’m not longing to explore it again
I’m too scared of what you’ll find

And this confusion runs me down
But I’ll smile when I’m around you
Cause there’s so much we could do
Together or alone, not afraid of being alone

Hope someone figures out the rest, there seems to be 4 different chord
progressions, but currently, they elude me. N-joy.

Together or Alone by Sebadoh

These are all barre chords

D#m X68876
C# X46664

C#II X43121
B X24442

It was never my intention
To blindly feed the boy girl game
A F# C#II
I know romance isn’t everything
A F# C#II
But I’m obsessing just the same

(Same as first verse)

Because today I don’t feel worthy
You seem so beautiful and strong
These unsure hands could never soothe you
Too afraid of doing something wrong

And this confusion wears me down
Until I feel like a nervous stranger
And could I help you grow
I guess we’ll never know

(Same as the first verse)

Setup for the let down
But these things happen all the time
And I’m not longing to explore it again
I’m too scared of what you’ll find

(Same as last chorus)

And this confusion wears me down
But I’ll smile when I’m with you
Cause there’s so much we could do
Together or alone
I’m not afraid of being alone

Lou in my opinion writes the best pathetic love songs for people like me.
I’ll get out other Sebadoh songs as soon as I get motivated enough to do
it.
Hasta. Richard Cook

1st song on SeBADoh’s album Bakesale. Really fun to play.
The Chords are played like normal chords, when the verse’s use the Verse riff

Verse riff:

|———–3———-|

i’m not attractive today
i’m not a sight for sore eyes
i’m not an Adam or Eve
i’m just a nervous young thing
hear my voice strain as i sing
my will won’t bend and then break
the crate will break and i’ll fall
i couldn’t help it at all

i’ve got a license to confuse
what do we get to lose?
a license to confuse
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sebadoh/license_to_confuse_crd.html )
:Verse Riff:
i guess i got what it takes
to help me make this mistake
it took a while but i learned
it took a twist but i turned
and now it’s clear that i’m blind
another mountain to climb
another distance to fall
i couldn’t help it at all

i’ve got a license to confuse
what have you got to lose?
a license to confuse

i shouldn’t sound so forlorn
regret the day i was born
cos here i am and i have been
i only need a few friends

:Verse Riff:
my hands are sweating all day
like i’ve been letting me down
like i’ve been letting me slide
just some nonsense on my mind
and a license to confuse
nothing i can lose

bust it build it for a need
here’s my license that’s my right
