======================================
I remember hearing this song a while back when Shawn played on some show live
and did two songs, Lagavulin and It's So Bad Tonight. When I first heard the song
I was hooked, although he was playing a nylon string guitar and it was very hard
for me to understand what he was playing. Thankfully, Rained Out Parade has come
out with this song released on it. YEAA, well here it is tabbed out for you.
This sounds almost PERFECT to the recorded song. 99.9 % I really went indepth with
the look and feel of this song. I feel it's one of Shawn's best ballad's.

This is a little sketchy. He's doing his little fingering again.
This gives you the idea perfectly though and this way is great
to try and finger pick. Feels good!
If your not sure about this one, just play the chords. It still
works fine.

I didn't bother looking into the bridge anymore. He's got some effects running while doing
a chord pattern here. These chords should tide you over for it though.

LYRICS
======================================
Let me slide in your direction
Let me poke you full of holes
Let me mimic your inflections
Let me strike up all your poses
Let me curse you with my sickness
Let me cure you with my love
Add my randomness and chaos to the things that you're sure of
Who do I think that I'm foolin'
With my weed and wine and lagavulin
It'll never come out right
When I get with you tonight
And I wonder what the hell it is I'm doing
Let me show you what I'm good for
Let me find out what you're not
Let me piece it all together
From the things that I forgot
Let me hold on to this picture that you cut yourself out of
Let me paste a perfect copy
On the the track marks of our love
Maybe I'll be alright
Who do I think that I'm foolin'
With my weed and wine and lagavulin
It'll never come out right
When I get with you tonight
And I wonder what the hell it is I'm doing
Please snap out of it
Just snap out of it
Please step out of it
Just walk away from it
Please snap out of it
Just snap out of it
Please walk away
You're not fooling anyone
Maybe I'll be okay
But in an hour or so I won't know what to say
Choking on the details
And there's screaming everywhere
'Til the blown out voices whisper
Maybe you're not even there
Oh maybe I'll be okay,
But in an hour or so I won't know what to say
Who do I think that I'm foolin'
With my weed and wine and lagavulin
It'll never come out right
When I get with you tonight
And I wonder what the hell it is I'm doing
Who do I think that I'm foolin'
And I wonder what the hell it is I'm doing
Who do I think that I'm foolin'
And I wonder what the hell it is I'm doing
