Tuning: Drop D
Author’s note: I finished this tab 10/5/08, and the song was released on Paramore’s
website
10/2/08, so there are probably going to be some mistakes in here. If you find any, let
know, or try to
figure them out for yourself. That’s a real good exercise for young guitarists
to do.

Lyrics:
How could I decide what’s right when your clouding up my mind
I can’t win your losing fight all the time
Nor could I ever own what’s mine when you’re always taking sides
Well, you won’t take away my pride, no not this time
Not this time
Chorus:
How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well
How did we get here I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes and it’s hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood but you think that I can’t see
What kind of man that you are, if you’re a man at all
Well I will figure this one out on my own
On my own
(I’m screaming “I love you so… but my thoughts you can’t decode)
Chorus
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves
How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well
How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well
I think I know, I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true
