VERSE
Well they been writin’ your name on the bathroom wall
But it don’t mean nothing it don’t mean nothing
They wanna ruin your life wanna see you take a fall
But it don’t mean nothing it don’t mean nothing at all

CHORUS
Stupid people say stupid things and it’ll drive you right up a wall
Sometimes I feel the same way, too, but it don’t mean nothing at all

Verse 1
Those days when our hearts were as big as the sun
turn around with a smile for everyone
that feeling’s a memory
funny how it fades away
______________________________________________________
Verse 2:
Verse riff
You won’t see those pale grays returning to blues
the colors will wash out as I shrink in my shoes
and I won’t always live and breathe
watch me as I fade away
______________________________________________________
Chorus:
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
burning like forever then it fades away
_____________________________________________________
Verse 3:
Verse riff
who on this planet would ever refuse
the chance of a lifetime to love and lose
when time is of no importance
______________________________________________________
Bridge- I don’t know how to play that wierd backwards guitar…so
Just play the Intro Riff

Chorus:
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
burning like forever then it fades away

This is my Favorite on the CD

1/2 down Tuning
Use all Bar chords in this song and it will sound sweet

When will it stop raining? When will these dark clouds go?
Gm F G Bb G Bb
somedays I get so low, but you turn me around, you turn me around
won’t you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
’cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won’t you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
‘cause I need your sweet sunshine
You take away my sadness and the pain inside my heart
sometimes I fall apart, but you turn me around, you turn me around
Won’t you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
‘cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won’t you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
‘cause I need your sweet sunshine
sunshine

I saw nobody had ever tabbed this song and I wanted to learn how to play it so here you go.
Capo on 3 so an A chord shape will sound like C

IntroVerse Chords:

Here’s how the timing works and the Chord structure

[1+2+3+4+]

|——–|——–|——–|3–2–22|
|——–|——–|——–|0–3–33|
|2–3-030|2–3-030|2–3-030|0–2–22|

|0–0-000|0–0-000|0–0-000|2——-|
|——–|——–|——–|3——-|

Just a reminder: Capo on 3, An A chord shape will actually be C

Living….. to get his freak on….., ooh ee

Sporting... his leopard skin thong.., ooh ee

Charlie the methadone man

plays Sunday nights in a rock n’ roll band

Charlie the metronome, the methadone

man.…..…………….

Patience.., the name of the game…., ooh ee

Waiting.... on Doctor Kinkaid..….., ooh ee

Charlie the methadone man

fills out the papers just as fast as he can

Charlie the methadone, the methadone

When you’re all alone

and you got no where to go

Better take it slow,

oh you get so tired of where you

Kicking.... his lonely lit brain…., ooh ee

Drinking... to try and stay sane.….., ooh ee

Charlie the methadone man

chases his tail just as fast as he can

Charlie the methadone, the methadone

Waitin’.….

Waitin’.….

(Starts at the end of the last waitin’)

This is not meant to be 100% precise, so listen to the song, its one on fastball’s
best and fun to play.

CHORUS
Cause I know it’s just as well, and even so I feel like hell
You can say that it’s alright but I am wrapped up tight and I can
See the forest through the trees, I am on my knees
I don’t know if I’m supposed to stay or I’m supposed to leave it all

VERSE 3

Intro: A F#m A F#m

I was wonderin’ how you’re feelin, I thought I
saw you kneelin, and holdin’ your guts last night.
You looked like you were prayin’, but I heard someone
sayin, you had been in an awful fight.
You get the worst of it every time,
lashing out with no reason or rhyme.
To lose all this rage at so tender an age,
little baby, growing up in a rat cage.
Are you ready for the fallout? Who ya gonna
call out? When does it finally comes to blows?
I think that you’re forgettin’, the blood that
you’ve been lettin’ has a price on it no one knows.
You may be sufferin’ in your sleep,
you may be gettin’ in way too deep.
And you may not care for advice that I share,
but if you want it, then I’ll be there.
Soon, you will learn how to swallow a tear,
so, when you are old, you can cry in your beer.
Do you spit at the face starin’ back at the mirror,
do you have any self-respect?

So what the hell did you expect?

Are you ready for the fallout, who ya gonna call out? x4

ending: A F#m D E A

REPEAT CHORD PATTERN FOR REST OF VERSE

CHORUS
Why do you back down, in the face of a fit fight?

D G A (A-G#-A, A-G#-A, A-G#-A)

I kick myself for caring about you
You may one day go the distance, you might come around
You can kill yourself or you can make your mama[(A)] proud.
