DISC: Waiting
tabbed by Moonsoon3@aol.com
okay, this song has a quirky bassline and two clever guitars....i can give the basic
chord structure and some of the interesting guitaring but what Thursday seems to do
is imply a chord progression and have both guitars and the bass just do interesting
stuff around it. it sounds like there's a lot going on in this song and i'm giving
you what it is based on.

Will you look back on this night
As the day that ruined your life.
Will you look back on these city streets and say,
"Oh, God, where are you?"
In these city streets I hide my face.
I turn away when you look at me
And every night when I try and sleep.
I feel your hands all over my body.
OUTRO: pound away on Dm
Dm-->
you scratched away the street signs and you shot out all the stop lights
you smashed away the buildings, what would you have left?
