Gotta Get Away - Offspring
Intro:
1) Drums only
2) Then bass intro this w/ Riff mixed in on last 4 passes
3) Then verse progression starts: (no lyrics)
Verse 1: (Detailed strumming with low E notes = *)
Getting edgy all the time...
Someone'round me just a step be----hind....
It's kin-da scary shape I'm in
Walls are shaking and thrr clos--ing in......
Verse 2:
Too fast or a bit too slow
Paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One guy that I can't shake
And over my shoulder is a big mistake
Chorus:
Sitting on the bed or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Em5 C5 G5 D5 D5 (start verse here, no chorus extension)
Saying all I know is I gotta get away from (me)
me.
Verse 3:
I tell you something just ain't right
My head is all loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
Verse 4:
If you reason, don't you know
Your preoccupation is where you'll go
You're being followed look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground
Chorus:
See you in your the bed or lying wide awake
This dream is in my head and it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Em5 C5 G5 D5 Em5 (start chorus extension)
Saying all I know is I gotta get away from (me)
me.......... I gotta get away from
me.......... I gotta get away from
Verse: (w/ Riff for first 2 passes)
me.
Woo..ooh.oh... Woo.oh..oh...
Woo..ooh.oh... Woo.oh..oh...
Chorus:
Sitting on the bed or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
Em5 C5 G5 D5 Em5 (start chorus extension)
Saying all I know is I gotta get away from (me)
me.......... I gotta get away from
me.......... I gotta get away from
me.......... I gotta get away from
Esus~ (0222xx, for 1 strum to end! Maybe A5 x022xxx? Whatevs, can just play Em5 and smash guitar!)
