That's 'bout all there is to the whole song. Simple & all energy !

This is how all the riff's are pieced together after the initial bass-line

Riff1 x4

Riff A x2

Riff A x4
Gettin edgy all the time
Someone around me just a step behind
Kinda scary shape I'm in
Wall are shakin & closing in
Too fast or bit too slow
Paranoid of people & it's startin to show
There's one guy I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake

Chorus
Riff B x4
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

Riff A x2

Riff Ax4
Tell you something just ain't right
My head's on a loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends they all bug
Life's like a riddle & I'm really stumped
If you reason don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you go
Think I'm being followed look around
It's only my shadow creeping on the ground

Repeat Chorus

Riff B x2
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me

Riff 1 x2

Riff A x2
Woo hoo Ooo Ooo part :)

Repeat Chorus till end
