1st Verse: With Riff 1 (4x)
"I wipe the night from my eyes
 Block out that sunny day and I hide
 And everything's falling down around us
 I'm just missing the rain
 And I'm happier now today
 Don't let me down, don't let me go
 A change of seasons inside her mind
 In time I'll decide, in time I'll decide to move on"

3rd Verse: With Riff 1 (2x)
 "Somehow we'll find a way
  We'll paste it back together
  These ripped out pages of old coloring books where your
  Gold is silver, my blue is gray
  It's all held together by cellophane tape but we"

-Play Pre-Chorus with Riff 2

-Play chorus

Outro: (With chords, and distortion)
F5(2)                 G#5
  In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2)                 G#5
  In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2)                 G#5
  In my head I've got everything I want
F5(2)		      G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 G#5  F5(2)
  In my head I've got everything I want in you

And that's. This really is a great song, it's a shame it never got the recognition it deserved.
Anyways, if there's any comments, questions, corrections, e-mail me. Thanks for reading the tab...
