Notes:
------
1. The song is downtuned, with a drop D - all the strings except
the "E" string are tuned
down a half-step (one fret), and the E is tuned down 1 and a half
steps. The "E" string
is then C sharp, the "A" string is then A flat etc...
2. If you are not sure about any part of the song, the approximate
timings shown below
might help.
3. There are no guarantees that this tab is accurate - it is unofficial.
However, I personally
am very sure that this tab is 100% accurate.

I went to the concert on the 15/4 and it was so very awesome. i had never heard this song b4 but it was one of the best songs in the whole concert (along with freak and Year 2000) i bought the best of album a couple days ago and again this song stood out, not just because of the concert. the song obviously is about addiction but it is still an amazing song

As far as I knew, you can't get addicted to anti-depressants. Fair enough there is a possibility of side effects when you stop taking them, but that's all. In my opinion the addiction's to the depression itself. I don't know if anyone will understand this, but I think even though he feels so shitty in his depressed state, it has become a kind of 'comfort' when he's lost in his own dark world, he knows where he is, he feels more stable feeling depressed than not knowing what he's feeling or where his head's taking him. He's kindo of become dependent on his depression. He's become accustomed to a certain way of living. Ritualistic even. And when it goes away, what do you fill the gap with. That was a big load of crap I just typed, but it made me feel better. :S:

I don't think this has to do with drugs, it's just a metaphor for how he is feeling in his mind...he's lost something ("addict with no heroine") and he's finding it hard to deal without it
