Verse is same as Intro pt 2 but palm muted

After the 2nd chorus there is a solo, which I haven't been able to tab yet. Sorry!

Then after the solo there is a piano interlude where he whispers, "I'm ok". When piano finishes play.

Lyrics:

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
You wear me out.

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what they mean
(I'm not okay)
So be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!

I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay.
You wear me out.

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took?
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

I'm okay.
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this I'm okay!
(Trust Me)

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-f**king-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)


I'm pretty sure that this accurate!!!

Ok. This is just the fingering for the main guitar on the intro. This is my first tab so
sorry if you think it sucks but it sounds exactly like the intro. The picking on this
intro is very fast so try to keep up. This will take you from about 0:05 to about 0:26/
0:27.

Well, there you go. I'm not totally positive if you do each note the way I have it or
if you double the number of times you pick each note. Just do it to your preference.
Have fun, enjoy the music, My Chemical Romace rocks.

Tabbed by: CaL
Email: hobbes102@gmail.com

Tuning: Dropped D for guitar 3
        Dropped D or Std for guitars 1 and 2


i was sick of looking for correct tabs for the solo, so i wrote it myself. it actually
takes 3 guitars (simultaneously) to make it sound the way it does on the actual song..

guitar 1 - left side (dist)
guitar 2 - right side (dist)
guitar 3 - bckg (dist)

x    = mute
b(n) = bend (up to nth note)
P    = palm
p    = pulloff
~    = vibrato
