STUFF TO KNOW
===============
* tempo change for chorus does not work very well for
me, it takes some time to slow down even if I set tempo
change to take effect immediatly. hope it sounds right
with your sound card :-/
* strum the chords down-up-down-up etc.. to get a
"running beat" feelling.
* because the tempo is pretty fast the chord changes
are not as smooth on the record, you'll see when you'll
try to play this :-)
* interlude: ok. the interlude does not sound good. On
the record the guitars do some wammy bar trick and
stuff I could not manage to tab :-(
* there are some drums crash here and there that are
missing or should not be there but they are pretty rare
and I dont want to make special different measures just
for this :-]
* the backing vocals may be off, maybe there are no
harmony at all, and just his voice tone sounds like this.
dunno. the harmonies I have made sound nice to me
:-)

LAST WORD
===========
It sounds very nice on my SBLive with SBLive midi
synth -not the Creative S/W synth, though it still
sounds ok-. It may sound crap on other cards :-/

I just >>LOVE<< this song!!!

Enjoy!! :-)

Lyric

You see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy,
But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free.
You're bored to tears in school,
It's not like what you thought at all.
Trouble is not the answer.
I know what you want to know.

Slow down;
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?

I think i know what you want.

Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win.
In order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him.
Anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth.
You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself:

Slow down;
Why you wanna move so fast?
Why you wanna walk so far?
Wait and find out who you are
And how you're gonna make it last.

Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name.
Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train.

And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely,
I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me.
