 NOTE: the finger-tapping part here is tabbed approximately, as I'd find it
 impossible to hear every single note, without having one of those devices
 that can slow the music down. I have the same tapping pattern repeating,
 while in the song it actually varies slightly.

 Lyrics/Song Structure:
 ======================
 ---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
 ---> Play Riff 1 over:
 With the words slaying me slow
 The verbs that just don't flow
 Confusing use of time
 Partial stoning of the heart
 Waiting for something to start
 Confusing use of time
 ---> Play Riff 2a over:
 But the trying again
 Makes me think it's all gonna end
 Confusing use of time
 ---> Play Riff 3 (x2) over:
 But every time I turn the volume down
 All I hear is the deafening sound
 Of your heart's pound
 ---> Play First Solo over Riff 3 (x2)
 ---> Play Riff 2b over:
 But the trying again
 Makes me think it's all gonna end
 Confusing use of time
 ---> Play Riff 1 over:
 Today the longest day
 Hearing repeating things you'd say
 Confusing use of time
 Can you hear the void I describe
 What do I say vacancy sounds like
 Confusing use of time
 ---> Play Riff 2a over:
 But the trying again
 Makes me think it's all gonna end
 Confusing use of time
 ---> Play Second Solo over Riff 3 (x4)
