    (D)				 Em
	I put my forehead to the door
	   G				 D
	I heard the famous sound of infidelity
					    Em
	Looks like I've loved and lost once more
		       G			D
	Oh, but all's fair in love and war, supposedly
			      C
	I couldn't even burst in on you
	     G				 D
	See scrabbling sheets or your excuse
	     C			  G	D
	Give you the evil eye or verbal abuse


	G	   C	         G
	Why do you do what you do	\
		  C		   G	 |
	When the things that you do	 |- PLAY & SING TWICE
		  C	    D		 |
	Hurt the person you are?	/

RIFF A:	  G   D   C   D     G   D   C   D

    (D)				       Em
	I slammed my glass down on the bar
	    G				     D
	My problems, they hit the floor so gracefully
					Em
	I don't know where I parked the car
			G			 D
	That's okay; tonight I'm on the town without me
				    C
	Tonight it's just me and my evil twin
	    G				 D
	The one who slips one more drink in
	    C			    G	     D
	The one who slips away when I start sinking

				 G    D

		       G    D
	The person you are
		       C    D

RIFF B:	  G   D   C   D     G   D   C   D

    (D)			     Em
	Got a job to pay the rent
	    G			       D
	Put people out of work by repositioning
				     Em
	Now no-one's sitting on the fence
		      G		     D
	Whose garden will we end up sitting in?
				     C
	It's getting much to hard to heal the sky
	    G				  D
	It stings too much to open up our eyes
	    C			   G	   D
	To fundamental truths that we hold as lies


	G	   C		 G
	Why do you do what you do	\
		  C		   G	 |

	Hurt the person you are?	/
				 G    D
	They hurt the person you are
		       C    D
	The person you are
		       G    D

|-------------------------|--2----------------------|	This section was
|--1----------------------|--3----------------------|	invented  by  me
|--0----------------------|--2----------------------|	around the  part
|--2----------------------|--0----------------------|	played with  the
|--3-----2-----0----------|-------------------------|	piano  at   this 
|--------------------3----|-------------------------|	point  in  Wes's
   1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .    1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .	recording.

Notes:
      * `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.

      * In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and  it's  half-beat  can
	either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
	(in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2),  which is one
	of my personal favourite colourings,  or the normal D fingering can be
	retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and  an  upstroke  on  the
	following half-beat.

      * Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the  tabs
	when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb.  In particular the
	C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this
	isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-)

      * A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you
	want to do this riff (IMHO).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     1.	If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to  keep  up
	the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar  solo  parts.
	I like to use the last 4 bars  of  the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A
	as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first  verse,
	using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B.
	In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of  the  rhythm  guitar
	part,  allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold
	the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish.

     2.	As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording.

     3. Enjoy!
