Verse 2: as first verse
Defect memories in a cage by my bed

This tab has been very helpful to me. I've been trying to play this song just by watching Silverchair videos from their performances at the Big Day Out 2002 and Rock In Rio 2001, but this tab really got me underway. The solo is missing but there's another tab here who does have the solo in it. (Other tuning though). Well done to the person who did this tab. Keep up the good work!
