Tabbed by Mark Carroll (rcarroll@axionet.com). Okay, Weezer fans, time to get down and dirty. Here's the chords and my own bastardization of the lyrics. Some of this is pulled from when I saw them in concert here in Vancouver (as in B.C., Canada). By the way, if you get a chance to see a live show, do it. It is an incredible experience. Anyway, on with the song. Chords: G G7 C C5 D D? D7 Em e-3- e-1- e-0- e-3- e-2- e-x- e-2- e-0- B-3- B-0- B-1- B-1- B-3- B-3- B-1- B-0- G-0- G-0- G-0- G-0- G-2- G-0- G-2- G-0- D-0- D-0- D-2- D-2- D-0- D-4- D-0- D-2- A-2- A-2- A-3- A-3- A-x- A-5- A-x- A-2- E-3- E-3- E-x- E-x- E-x- E-x- E-x- E-0- Verse 1: G Em C Yesterday I went outside D? G With my Mother's Mason jar Em C * Caught a lovely butterfly G Em C When I woke up today D? G Looked in on my fairy pet Em C * She had withered all away D7 No more sighing in her breast Chorus: G I'm sorry for what I did Em C I did what my body told me to D G I didn't mean to do you harm G7 C D Every time I pin down what I think I want G It slips away Em C5 And oh it slips away Verse 2: Smell you on my hands for days Couldn't wash away the scent I'm a dog and you're a bitch I guess you're as real as me Maybe I can live with that To excite my fantasy Life of chasing butterfly Chorus Verse 3: G Em C I told you that I'd return D? G When the robin builds his nest Em C * But I ain't never comin' back End part: G I'm sorry Em I'm sorry C5 G I'm sorry. That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are. It goes something like this: e-0-----2-----------: B----3--1--0-----0--: G-------2-----2-----: D-------0-----------: A-------------------: E-------------------: Now I'm done.
