..walk through the hallways inside my mind

I chase the backbeat from behind

Big dude in the doorway was blockin' my way

He reached to grab me and this is what he said:

Me no are no nice guys (X 3)

Then go stacatto between these two chord formations , 4 times the first time, then 8, then 10:

E|-------|

B|---9-7-|

G|---9-7-|

D|---9-7-|

A|-------|

E|-------|

Then back to the "me no are no nice guys" riff, then back to the stacatto chords, then switch over to the "trampoline jam" :

F#m7 --> B back and forth for a LONG time, then D E F#m7 a couple of times, back to F#m7 --> B then D E F#m7 twice, then the 12-tone chromatic walk down from F#-G to |F#m7 A E F# :| repeated 8 times, stopping on the E and letting it ring on the last time.

This usually leads into I Am Hydrogen
