[Verse 1]
E F#
Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
A E
That I had let slip away
E F#
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
A E
And burdens me every new day
[Bridge 1]
A F#
Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
A B
And try to figure out how to do without you
[Chorus](with distortion)
E5 B5 C#5 B5 A5
Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning
E5 B5 C#5 B5 A5
Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning
E5 B5 C#5 A5 B5
Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's alright
B
Well, Goodnight, Good Guy
[Play riff 1] (x2)
[Verse 2]
E F#
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
A E
If Faith will carry me along
[Guitar Fill 1]

E F#
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
A E
I can only stay so strong
[Bridge 2]
A F#
Well I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
A B
Who's finding it difficult to just let go
[play chorus]
[Bridge 3] (with distortion)
A5
I'm gonna let you sleep
Ab5 B5
I'll let you fade off in the night
A5
I pray the Lord to keep
Ab5 B5
I pray the Lord to hold you tight
B5
Well, goodnight.
[solo]
Sorry guys, this is a great solo and I'd like to keep it that way. I can
barely get down the
main parts of this solo, and anything that I transcribe wouldn't be worthy
of posting. The
chords over the solo are from the Chorus. Then the chorus is played twice.
The second
time, the lyrics are played around with a little and finally the song ends
with guitar riff 1
played twice.
