Third verse
(Guitar plays full chords B on VII fret and F# on II fret. )
(Bass plays the same figure as in the first verse .)
And you thought that we were faking that we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real or would just lose our cheap appeal
Fourth verse
Dont' judge a book just by the cover unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign Of fucking fools who stand in line
chorus
second bridge (Same chords as in the first verse picked differently)
Unlimited edition with an unlimited supply
that was the only reason we all had to say goodbye
^
Bass: slide up from the 2nd fret on
the E
string.
outro (w/ad-lib, repeat until end)
E B
