Hey everyone. This is probably Carbon Leaf's funkiest song, based on the
syncopated staccato stuff that Guitar 2 does in the verse. Enjoy it!

Verse 2:
Pretend. Did you think that one day it would come to this?
Sitting in a stranger's chair, staring at the whitewash-wall
Waiting for the inspiration, invitation to leave this place
Hoping there's a better space to occupy my fall from grace
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: (repeat several times)

Hide. Over Hear. Same as it ever was
I've never been through this before
Tell me I'm wrong and keep me here
Am I wrong? I am Wrong...
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat verse and chorus with solo)
Verse 3:
Keep me in the tall grass
Jab me (the one still sitting in that chair)
First trip the boy is still taking
Run and hide but pretend your exploring
(Repeat chorus twice)
