"conversation's
hell..."
bridge: start off with an e-minor, then it's pretty much whatever you
want until the next pre-chorus. Here are some of the important parts,
though.
rhy fill 1: (every once and a while...)

---2-3-2---
---2-2-2---

and then there's a cool base part:
A-----7-9-10-9-7-0-2-4/5-2-0-2-0-----
E---0----------------------------3---
and then the pre-chorus:
---3---2-3-2---2-3-5---3-5-7---5-7-9---7-9-10----10----10-play 10s
----------------------------------------------10----10----a bunch of
----------------------------------------------------------times, then

-----------------------------------------------5/6/7/8/9/10/
-----------------------------------------------5/6/7/8/9/10/ and such
---------------------------------------------0-3/4/5/6/7/8-/
chorus again and then "converation's hell" again and if you've ever
heard the song before in your life you know how it goes. End with riff
3 and a long drawn-out last chord. I probably forgot some parts, but my
hands are getting tired. E-mail me at captain_zodiac@hotmail.com with
questions/suggestions. Thanks.
