Here is my transcription for Rumor Mill - great song by an amazing band. I worked it out
by ear, so it may not be 100% perfect, but I think it sounds good.
Questions/comments/suggestions/corrections are encouraged and welcomed! Enjoy!
Note: In the instrumental break right after the second chorus, they quicky switch
between two notes two times. I wrote it in as D (lift off middle finger) in two spots. Its not
the proper chord name but if you play it, it will fit well.

Verse 1:

say to make me sound like someone different

But I'll never let this grow

you don't fall into this hole you've dug alone
