I tabbed this out after seeing several others that were a little off, but i think
this should be aboslutely correct.  I did not tab out second guitar riffs, but i
could so so if requested. This also sounds great acoustic like 
Collective Soul did it on their DVD.

Use Verse Pattern here:

Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards 
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby 
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

Don't speak of doubt
