Title: Yeah, Whatever
Album: Halfway Down the Sky

I added this tab because other versions here were either incomplete or didnt
make sense. I am the only guitar player in a three piece band and therefore
transcribe songs so that a single guitar is all that is needed to play the
selection (even though most songs, like this one, have multiple guitar
tracks). A single guitar player that owns a capo and can switch from
clean to dirty should be able to play this song. If you try this
transcription and agree or have any problems with it, please let me
know by email.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
And you're primative... And you're cynical to me
And I chewed down on the bit, and almost swallowed it.
PRE-CHORUS 1
You sit all alone with your color TV, Your hair starts to glisten in spite of th
e fleas
We dont have to stay friends, Lets pretend to be enemies.
CHORUS
Yeah, whatever makes you happy, Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful.
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied, Cuz I'm out of time for now
VERSE 2
And you're paranoid, As you look me up and down.
And Im soaked in gasoline, mud, and ice cream
PRE-CHORUS 2
You sit by the phone with your tongue hanging out
You cradle the flies in the back of your mouth. We dont have to stay friends.
Lets pretend to be enemies.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Damned if you do, Fucked if you dont
Damned if you do, What if you wont
PRE-CHORUS 3
You must be aware of what you're doing to me
We sunk like a stone on a rock in the sea
We dont have to stay friends (Not for very long)
We dont have to stay friends (Just because you're gone)
You get what you want cause you wont let it die
CHORUS
OUTRO
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you insecure
Yeah, whatever seems to break you down
Cuz Im out of time, but Im feeling fine.
HAVE AT IT!!!
