  1 lies in waiting for
  1 mind who wants for more
  4 arms plain for one goal
  2 more will make 1 whole, but when?

Pre-Chorus

  E -> F# -> G -> A

  And it comes on slow
  And it folds all you know
  Yet it seems so far
  When all is gained or lost

  A (Stay on this for the buildup of the chorus)

  What will measure mine?

  A -> G -> F# -> E

Chorus

  E -> F# -> A -> G -> F# ->E (x3)
  E -> F# -> A -> G -> F

  Could I leave it now
  when so tired am I
  what is suffering?

Bass Line with scraping

  G|-----------------------------|
  D|-----------------------------|
  A|-----------------------------|
  E|-1-0--1-0--1-0-1-0-1-3-1-0-1-|

Repeat all that from the beginning, with these verse lyrics

  8 arms slave for 1 goal
  2 more will make one whole
  We have ?'s of control
  Could I be bought or sold today?

Second time through starts the jam.
