This is main riff, a D-G thing that replaces violin and sax from the
original.  It's played rather fast, but once you get the hang of it,
it sounds great.  He has Tim Reynolds playing lead on this, and well,
we won't worry about what he's doing.  All I can say is the guy makes
Dave look like an amateur...and that's saying alot!!

[Verse 1]
D                      G
   He wakes up in the morning
D                          G
   Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling
D                     G
   He never changes a thing
D                         G
   The week ends, the week begins, she thinks,
D                    G
   We look at eachother
D                     G
   Wondering what the other is thinking
D                    G
   But we never say a thing
D                          G
   And these crimes between us grow deeper

    Goes to visit his mommy, she
D                          G
   feeds him well, has concerns he forgets them
D                     G
   And remembers being small
D                    G
   Playing under the table and dreaming

D                      G
   Driving in on this highway
D                     G
   All these cars end up on the sidewalk
N.C.                  G
   People in every direction
N.C.
    No words exchanged, no time to exchange them

They all do it the same way
