Intro:

First the chords come in which are D, A, and G.  Then that really
cool riff as follows.  Play this with your reverb pedal on, or
at full blast.  The 3eb guitarist plays it with a medium reverb,
chorus,  and slight echo/delay.

  Verse #1:

  D                                 A    G
  I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore.  Before you
  D             A    G
  take a swing, I wonder what are we fighting
  D                                       A   G
  for. When I say out loud, I want to get out of this, I wonder
  D                 A      G
  Is there anything I'm gonna miss

  Chorus #1:

  G
  I wonder
  Em                                A
  How's it gonna be, when you don't know me,
  Em                                  G
  How's it gonna be, when you're sure I'm not there,
  Em                              A
  How's it gonna be, when there's no one there to talk to,
  Em                    G
  Between you and me, 'cause I don't care, How's it gonna

  D     A      G
  be...

  Intro Riff

  Verse #2:

  D                                     A         G
  Where we used to laugh, there's a shouting match.  Sharp as a
thumbnail
  D                A                G
  scratch.  A silence I can't ignore.  Like the hammock by the doorway
  D                                    A          G
  we spent time in, swing's empty.  I don't see lightning like last
fall,
  D                  A      G
  when it was always about to hit me

  Chorus #2:

  G
  I wonder
  Em                         A
  How's it gonna be, when  it goes down
  Em                                G
  How's it gonna be, when you're not around
  Em                              A
  How's it gonna be, when you found out there was nothing
  Em                       G
  Between you and me, 'cause I don't care, How's it gonna

  D    A    G
  be...

  --Begin the distortion man--

  Em             G                 D          A
  How's it gonna be when you don't know me anymore
  Em             G
  How's it gonna be

  D                 A             G
  Wanna get myself back in again
  D        A              G
  the soft dive of oblivion
  D                    A        G
  I wanna taste the salt of your skin
  D                       A        G
  the soft dive of oblivion, oblivion
 *thanks yoda

  Em             G                 D          A
  How's it gonna be when you don't know me anymore
  Em             G
  How's it gonna be
