  Tell your friends not to think out loud,  until they     swallow

Whisper things into my brain, your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men, since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink, since it's so hard to swallow

  Yeah-a-ah, so hard to swallow

Turn your television off and I will sing a song 
And if you suddenly have the urge, you can sing along
I touch your hand, touch your face, I think the food is rotten  Give me lessons on how to breathe, ‘cause I think I've forgotten Yeah, think I've forgotten

[Turn on distortion (Same chords, different strum pattern) 
(2nd guitar ends)]

Bridge: Identical to Intro 2 (faster)

Ooh, one day out to a cliff that overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl, it was somebody's daughter
Now the ring is on my hand, was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around and dream of ways to get higher
Yeah, to get much higher

Repeat First Verse


Another Nickelback bit:
