Intro: The verse riff, end with C and G powerchords

(that riff)
It's been a long dark lonely hall
between the cracks I can read the scrawl
it's written down in a crooked rhyme
that sold me out before my time but

(riff)
since then I been back down to the edge
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
my whole world should come crashing down but

A 
you can't sell me out
B			     C
with everything you think about

(riff)
I think back now I draw a blank
there ain't no need to dig the past
I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage

A
but you don't think about
B			     C
anything I think about

you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C     G

(riff)
now you know for sure you're alive
you watched her leave before your eyes
now I'm afraid to say your name
but I ain't afraid to share this blame

A
but you can't sell me out
B		 	     C
with everything you think about

you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C     G

Bridge:
D C D C D C G

(riff)
It's been a long dark lonely hall 
between the cracks I can read the scrawl 
find a place it feels like home 
get some clue to where I'm going 

you don't think about
anything I think about

you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C     G

you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C
you know what I mean   D    C     G
