Head Games
I daydream, for hours it seems
I keep thinking of you, yeah, thinking of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?
Daylight turns into night
We try to find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same, you know who's to blame
You know what I'm sayin', still we keep playin'
Head Games
That's all I get from you

(The record has faded out by now, so I'm gonna suggest an ending..Play the Riff twice
then immediately end on Ab5, you can slam it if you want.=D)
Also note that through the verses it's mostly keyboard playing the chords, the guitar is
the same exact chords very softly in the background.
There's a few things you'll need to listen for on the record when you try and play this.
The timing of the chords 2. The strumming pattern for the rhythm 3. When to use the
(2nd) fingering of the F# chord I wrote.
Good luck with this song, it's a real underrated classic. Its not that hard either once
put it all together.
Rock On!
