(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

I’m willing to wait my turn to be with you
But I still have a lot to learn about me
And no one’s sure if we should be together

But oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I’m still in love with you
And I only wanna be with you

VERSE:
So when you see him again
Tell him everything that you told me
We’re more than friends
And maybe we should start again
Maybe you could love me again

Cause oh, when I saw you again
A beautiful friend, she opened up her heart and let me in
No, I cannot lie to you
I’m still in love with you

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’:

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.

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

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.

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

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

: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

Subject: TAB: another version of “Soul and Fire” by Sebadoh

“Soul and Fire” from the album “Bubble and Scrape” by Sebadoh. Tabbed by
Joel Nicholas, Leicester, UK.

This is what i think is a better version than any other i’ve found. it
isn’t perfect but i really don’t like those E7’s in the other versions.
