That should make it much easier to read which chords are muted, and which aren't. Okay, TO THE SONG!!!!
VERSE 1: (Play the chords just like in the intro)
F#5 C#5 D#5 B5 F#5 C#5 D#5 B5
I heard you cryin loud. All the way across town. Cause you been
F#5 C#5 D#5 B5 F#5 C#5 D#5 B5
Searching for that someone, and it's me out on the prowl. As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself.
F#5 C#5 D#5 B5 F#5 C#5 D#5 B5
Well don't get lonely now. And dry your whining eyes. I'm just
F#5 C#5 D#5 B5 F#5 C#5 D#5 B5
roaming for the moment sleazin' my backyard, so don't get, so uptight, you been thinkin' about ditchin' me.
CHORUS: (Still distortion)
G#5 B5 G#5 B5 B5 (Stop)
No time to search the world around. Cause you know where I'll be found, When I Come Around
INTERLUDE: (Regular intro/verse chords, 2 times)
F#5 C#5 D#5 B5 F#5 C#5 D#5 B5
VERSE 2: (Play like VERSE 1)
I heard it all before, so don't knock down my door.
I'm a loser and a user, so I don't need no accuser, to try and slag me down, because I know you're right.
So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise.
You may find out what your self-doubt means nothing was ever there.
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right.
CHORUS: (Play like previous chorus)
No time to search the world around. Cause you know where I'll be found, When I Come Around.
GUITAR SOLO/BRIDGE:
WOOOHH!!

CHORUS: (Play like previous choruses)
No time to search the world around. Cause you know where I'll be found, When I Come Around.
OUTRO:

When I Come Around When I Come Around When I Come Around
End on that last B5, and just fade out with that same light distortion feel, like the whole song. And that's it
for this really cool song. It's very easy, just those basic 5 power chords, and the short easy guitar solo. If
you've got questions let me know. Email me at weezer090@hotmail.com Thanks a lot guys! LATER!
