Finally, an acoustic song!  of course, that's excluding Disarm...



This song is actually pretty easy, if you disregard the violin & cello..



Main riff:

play this main acoustic riff throughout most of the song, or play the chords

marked in the lyrics....



[riff]

Feel it break your bones mr. jones

Taste me as I bleed, taste my need



               G           Am(i)             Em(i)

Spaceboy, I've missed you, spinning round my head

C(i)       G            D        Em

Anyway you choose me, I break instead



[riff]

Watch me, death defy, defile my life

I don't need, if I don't care

Please  I want to  go    home..I want to  go    home..

        I want to  go    home, I want to go home

Cause when a lover aches,   that's when a lover breaks



I want to go home, I want to go home...



Now just play the following riff twice for the instrumental:

   D        Em  F(i)

It won't be long
