This is 9-9 by REM. I'm not certain about the intro so here's my best
shot:
 
E:-2-3-5-3s2-2 that's the bassline....
 
e:---0-----0-----0-----0-----
B:-2---2-3---3-5---5-3---3-3-2    that's my best guess at the jangles
 
Verse:
A two punch.............right on target........
E         Esus4     E       Bm   7th fret harmonics-s-5th fret harmonics
 
Chorus:
Give me a couple of, don't give me a couple of pointers turn to lies and
B       A        G                 A        B           A            G
 
Conversation fear.
      A      B      7th fret harmonics-s-5th fret harmonics
 
Lyrics:
 
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.
 
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back
 
Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
 
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back
 
Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
 
What is my mind?
What is my mind?
 
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.
 
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back
 
Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
 
Conversation fear. Conversation fear. Conversation fear.
