Play Riff 3 x2
Play Riff 2   "All alone, a touch afraid, a renegade..."
Play Riff 2a  "Proof that I will not let go, feels like I might explode..."
Play Riff 2   "I'm better off, better off, on my own..."
Play Riff 2b  "From this spot I can't fuck up, hide out so I survive..."

D|-10-----12-----5-----x--x--x16-|
A|-7--x16-10-x16-5-x16-10/12-----|
E|-7------10-----5---------------|

Note: Laziness has taken hold, the "x16" after the chord means you play the chord 16
times. The strumming is easy enough to figure out on your own.

Play Riff 4 x2

Riff 4a   "I'm not well, I'm not well..."
E|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-14-----12----9----12----7-----9-----|
D|-x--x16-x--x8-x-x4-x--x4-x-x16-x-x16-|
A|-12-----10----7----10----5-----7-----|
E|-------------------------------------|

Note: Same as the previous note, but take note of the numbers so you know how many times
to strum each chord. The last chord also begins a slight bend after the 8th strum and
leads into the next riff.

Play Riff 3 x2   "I'm not glad to be, I'm not glad to be me..."

Note: The 2nd time through Riff 3, the ending changes to this:
E|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|-5/7-7-7-7\5---|
F#|-3/5-5-5-5\3-5-|
B|-------------5-|

Continue playing Riff 3 twice more with the alternate ending above and note that the
strumming pattern changes to constant strumming with no rests. Listen to the song to get
the idea.
