Words & Music:

There is a beautiful full
transcription of this in Guitar World. This song is a gorgeous cut for "Stadium Arcadium"
and is played without a capo (sorry, folks!). I've included links to several tabs in the online edition.

Come to decide that the things
that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
G#m
E
B
F#/A# [etc.]
When I sit alone, come get a
little known but I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea
to the sky and I do believe that we rely on.
When I lay it on, come get to
play it on, all my life to sacrifice.

Hey oh---, listen what I
say--, oh.
I got your hey oh, now listen
what I say, oh.
When will I know that I really
can't go to the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me, when
will I really see all that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better
not leave before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me what do I
really need all that I need to look inside
PRE-CHORUS:

The more I see the less I
know; the more I like to let it go... hey oh, whoa.
CHORUS:
B
F#
C#m(add9) [etc.]
Deep beneath the cover of
another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world
so undecided and there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of
another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow
B
F#
Running through the field
where all my tracks will
C#m(add9)
Be concealed & there's
nowhere to go. Oh!
When to descend to amend for a
friend all the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up I'm gonna
ring it up just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea
to the sky and I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on come get to
play it on all my life to sacrifice
Hey oh---, listen what I
say--, oh.
I got your hey oh, now listen
what I say, oh.
