[Part 1] (play with all downstrokes)
note: below the each row I put which finger on the left hand
you should use for fretting this particular note - you do not
have to follow this, but it is easy once you've become used
to it and John does it this way.

[Lyrics]
(1) Young and full of running
tell me where is that taking me?
just a great figure eight
or a tiny infinity?
love is really nothing
but a dream that keeps waking me
for all of my trying
we still end up dying
how can it be?
(2) don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
'cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me
(1) so young and full of running
all the way to the edge of desire
steady my breathing
silently screaming
I have to have you now
wired and I'm tired
think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
and find me on yours
(2) don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me
(3)
(4), (Solo)
(2) don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me
cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me
(5)
