I put my forehead to the door
Ik legde mijn voorhoofd tegen de deur
I heard the famous sound of infidelity
Ik hoorde het beroemde geluid van ontrouw
Looks like I've loved and lost once more
Het lijkt erop dat ik opnieuw heb liefgehad en verloren
Oh, but all's fair in love and war, supposedly
Oh, maar alles is eerlijk in liefde en oorlog, zogenaamd
I couldn't even burst in on you
Ik kon niet eens bij je binnenstormen
See scrabbling sheets or your excuse
Zie krabbelbladen of je excuus
Give you the evil eye or verbal abuse
Geef je het boze oog of verbaal geweld
Why do you do what you do \
Waarom doe je wat je doet\
When the things that you do |- PLAY & SING TWICE
Wanneer de dingen die je doet |- SPEEL & ZING TWEE KEER
Hurt the person you are? /
De persoon die je bent pijn doen? /

I slammed my glass down on the bar
Ik gooide mijn glas op de bar
My problems, they hit the floor so gracefully
Mijn problemen, ze vielen zo gracieus op de grond
I don't know where I parked the car
Ik weet niet waar ik de auto heb geparkeerd
That's okay; tonight I'm on the town without me
Dat is oké; vanavond ben ik zonder mij in de stad
Tonight it's just me and my evil twin
Vanavond zijn het alleen ik en mijn boze tweelingbroer
The one who slips one more drink in
Degene die nog een drankje naar binnen laat glijden
The one who slips away when I start sinking
Degene die wegglijdt als ik begin te zinken
Why do you do what you do \
Waarom doe je wat je doet\
When the things that you do |- PLAY & SING TWICE
Wanneer de dingen die je doet |- SPEEL & ZING TWEE KEER
Hurt the person you are? /
De persoon die je bent pijn doen? /
They hurt the person you are
Ze kwetsen de persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
RIFF B: G D C D G D C D
RIFF B: G D C D G D C D
Got a job to pay the rent
Ik heb een baan om de huur te betalen
Put people out of work by repositioning
Haal mensen zonder werk door te herpositioneren
Now no-one's sitting on the fence
Nu zit er niemand op het hek
Whose garden will we end up sitting in?
In wiens tuin zullen we uiteindelijk terechtkomen?
It's getting much to hard to heal the sky
Het wordt veel te moeilijk om de lucht te genezen
It stings too much to open up our eyes
Het steekt te veel om onze ogen te openen
To fundamental truths that we hold as lies
Op fundamentele waarheden die wij als leugens beschouwen
Why do you do what you do \
Waarom doe je wat je doet\
When the things that you do |- PLAY & SING FOUR TIMES
Wanneer de dingen die je doet |- SPEEL EN ZING VIER KEER
Hurt the person you are? /
De persoon die je bent pijn doen? /
They hurt the person you are
Ze kwetsen de persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
The person you are
De persoon die je bent
The person............... person............... person...... yeay.
De persoon............... persoon............... persoon...... ja.

* `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.
* `^' betekent neerwaartse slag, `h' betekent hamerslag.
* In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and it's half-beat can
* In de 4e maat van deze sectie kunnen de 3e tel en de halve tel worden weergegeven
either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
ofwel gespeeld worden met de hamer op de hoge noot, zoals hierboven weergegeven
(in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2), which is one
(in dat geval wordt het akkoord op de derde tel Dsus2), wat één is
of my personal favourite colourings, or the normal D fingering can be
van mijn persoonlijke favoriete kleuringen, of de normale D-vingerzetting kan zijn
retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and an upstroke on the
behouden, met een neerwaartse slag op de 3e
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!
