Misheard Lyrics

Intro: (Repeats 8 times; drum groove comes in after 4; tab comes in after 6) (N.C., only bass) Everything you say is a bridge Everything you do is water under it These are not the original lyrics Such a worthless waste of time to write about (Chords come in) Every bit of you that I don't love Is filled up with my hate I was a situation That you were glad went away Move move forward like a human being (sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends) You probably looked like an idiot in that hat (used to feel bad about crushing ants) (why why why why why to die) I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me I’m turning into the person that you were afraid I’d turn out to be (Tab for 2 chord progresssions) (N.C., only bass) There is something in me that can only give There is something in you that can only give out When you hear my songs do you get that feeling And if not, what the hell were you hearing? (Chords come in) I am not crazy, I am right What do you mean? what are saying to me? I was just another bird you touched Whose mother won't take him back I’m sorry I misheard your lyrics (tried to smile but it didn’t show up in the photograph) I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to (all I wanted was sleep and you took it away) (yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate) Did you do something wrong was there something you did that I could blame I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name (N.C., only bass and tab) By the time they send the lifeboats I won’t want to leave the island Calling out to distant shorelines Calling out for different basslines (bass solo for 2 chord progressions, tab for 2) (with only chords on top) *AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH* (for two more chord progressions) (with chords) I can’t go back to not understanding what you mean to me I’m turning into the person that you were afraid that I’d turn out to be Did you do something Was there something you did that I could blame? I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name (N.C., only bass and groove) Ooh, it was nothing special Ooh, it was nothing sacred Just hands held And shoulders rubbed And voices touched In holy harmony (4 bars of drum groove at the end)
