PAUSE: Strum the E note (022100)
Intro x1
Verse:
He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time
Pre-Chorus:
As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine
Chorus:
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
(Pre-Chorus):
A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell
tab=pile of wank
listen to the song
You tab is very easy to play but it doesnt sound good at all.
