Intro chords

	so sick and so refined
	Are you strung out on some face,
	well I know it ain't mine

Verse chords
	If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will, 
	and knock you back with something sweet and strong.
	Trouble keeping your head up, when you're hungry and you're fed up,
	like a moon and lone star you're gone.
	Tonight makes love to all you're kind, tomorrow's picking valentines.

Bridge and solo
F E D# D  

Do the last D as a barre chord at the fifth fret. While holding the chord, on the fourth string, put your pinkie down on the fourth string sixth fret, then play it and move your pinkie up to the seventh fret, then back down to the sixth, to get that nice ascending/descending thing before the solo.

Solo (over D Em)
The (-16) means to bend the note fretted on 14 up until it reaches the pitch of the note on the 16th fret. Keep the D string ringing while you do this.

That is the first two measures. The other 6 are basically the same with a slight timing variation on the bend up to the 16.

Come out of the solo on C and G
