Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Bass Intro
---> Play Riff 1 w/Fill 1 over:
Nick:
  Take a chance on something star you gotta
  All the live long day
  If I had to name one thing you think data
  Be hard pressed to say
  You can't say I'm gushy, At least you know what I think
  I know that I'm lucky, I know you're on the brink
  You got it good good good, You got it good so good
---> Play Riff 2 w/Fill 1 over:
Nick:
  You make up ridiculous words which mean exactly nothing
  I know just what you mean and that's the funny thing
  It's understood, It's understood
---> Play Chorus over:
SA:
  Buddy buddy buddy I know why you wander
  Through the sweetness on the ground
  The sweetness of the flowers
  You make your way on a cloudy day
  You've got to move
  The world you prove is too sweet, yeah
---> Play Riff 1 w/Fill 1 over:
Nick:
  We parted much too soon I know but that's how it goes
  There's someone better out there for you and me
  Can't wait to get on the road and feel the shows
  And be like phenomenon number 1 and 2 and 3
---> Play Riff 2 w/Fill 1 over:
Nick:
  I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
  But I am the guy that could give you the most
  It's good good good, It's understood
---> Play Chorus over:
SA:
  Buddy buddy buddy I know why you wander
  Through the sweetness on the ground
  The sweetness of the flowers
  You make your way on a cloudy day
  You've got to move
  The world you prove is too sweet, yeah
---> Play Pre-Solo
---> Solo over Chorus


** Note: The outtake version does not contain SA, and the Chorus is only played
   twice. The song structure looks like this:
