 [Verse]
 
 (Guitars lay out on the first verse)
 
 [A]So you've [B]been con[F#]fused, your [A]confi[B]dence is dis[F#]organized[F#/E][F#]

 [A]So you [B]do your [F#]exercise as you[A] speed[B] beneath the
 
 [F#]bay.[F#/E]..

 {eot}
 
 [A]And I would [B]tell you to s[F#]ing, cause t[A]hat would bring cont[B]rol to y[F#]ou,
 
 [A]Some things [B]make the [F#]world seem new,
 
 (Guitars come back in here)
 
 Your [A]voice is [B]such a
 
 [F#]thing, [F#/E]such a [F#]thing, [F#/E]such a [F#]thing, [F#/E]such a [F#]thing...
 
 [**Note: Alternating F# and F#/E:
 Just do an F# barre chord (don't play the top 2 strings),
 and alternately lift off your index finger.
 Like this:
 
 [F#] [F#/E] 
 {sot}
 |-(2)---(0)---------------|
 |-(2)---(0)---------------|
 |--3-----3----------------|
 |--4-----4----------------|
 |--4-----4----------------|
 |--2-----0----------------|
 {eot}
 This alternating theme is heard pretty consistently throughout the song,
 whenever an F# chord is played. Listen and you'll hear it. Back to the
 song...]
 
 [Bridge 1]
 (*)
 A A B B | F# F# F#/E F# |
 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 & 4 | (3X)
 
 
 {sot}
 ---------------------
 {eot}
 (*) Background fill:
 The sitar plays a little background riff during this measure.
 The first and third time Bridge 1 is played use this fill:

 [A]Oma[B]r is [F#]still so young, I [A]know that he can t[B]ake it,
 
 [Play Bridge 2 (see below) 4x over the "take it" part]
 Take it, take it, (I know that he can) take it, take it...

 [F#]tube, [F#/E]down the [F#]tube, [F#/E]down the [F#]tube, [F#/E]down the [F#]tuuuuube!
 
 Play Bridge 1:
