G Em G Em (fade) No, no, no no, no, yeah I just can't go to sleep now. oh I just... (no no no no no) note: for all you guitar freaks, on the bridge, Dave is approaching the C, Bb and D major chords with a 2nd leading up to the third, or what is commonly called a "retardation". For example in the Bb chord, omit the 3rd (D) and add the 2nd (C). On the second half of the beat "scoop up" to the 3rd (D) or a fully major Bb chord. I bar the Bb, and leave the b string open and then play the full chord. On D chord it is really easy; strum D chord with an open e string, then hit the f# on the 2nd fret. transcribed by cory gavito.
