INTRO/Riff 1
[-----------------------5-------------------------------]
[-------7----------------------------5-----------------2]
[-----9-----9--------------------6----6------------2----]
[---9--9--9--------7-----------6---6-------4-----2---2--]   (x2)
[-7--------------7---7-------4-----------2-----0--------]
[--------------5----------------------------------------]

The second time, a second guitar plays this:

[-----0h2-----------------------------------------------]
[--------------------------------5p4--------------------]
[---4---------------------------------------------------]
[-2---------------------------6-------------------------]
[---------------------------4---------------------------]
[-------------------------------------------------------]

Then comes the verse...
The first guitar plays the Riff 1 repeatedly. The second guitar is not playing.


When I was young I knew everything,
She's a punk who rarely ever took advice,
Now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor,
Stop a babies breath and a shoeful of rice, No...

Pre-Chorus:

[----------------------------------0-]
[----------------------------------2-]
[-----6-----------4-----------2------]
[---6---6-------4---4-------2---2----]
[-4-----------2-----------0----------]
[------------------------------------]

Can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

(CHORUS)

[Riff 1]
For the life of me, I can not remember,
What made us think that we were wise and we never comprimised,
For the life of me, I can not believe we'd ever die for these sins,
We were meerly freshman.

Verses, continued:

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week worth of Valium and slept
And now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

[Prechorus] This time, and for the rest of the song, the prechorus
is accompanied by this riff...
[-------------------------------]
[-------------------------------]
[-9/89--9/89--9/89/10-9/89--]
[-------------------------------]
[-------------------------------]
[-------------------------------]


Can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely Freshmen

Prechorus Riff 1, and this riff are played together...

[-4-4-4---5-5-5---------7-7-7--]

Hey Yah Eee Hah Eee Hah Eee Yah
Hey Yaaah Hey Yah Eee Hah Eee Yah

[Riff 1]
We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lack in relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice
When we tried not to slip
We'd say

[Prechorus]
Can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
And I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

[Chorus]

For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely Freshmen
For the life of me
I can not remember what made us think that we were wise
and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely Freshmen
We were merely Freshmen
We were only Freshmen...
