Tabbed by:krumpeld

This is the acoustic performance done by Josh Homme and Troy VanLeeuwan in Boston. The 
can be found here

first tab, so just let me know if i screwed up real badly. other than that,
i most likely missed a few accents here and there or a few extra notes thrown in.
other than that it should be note for note.

Tuning: standard

guitar I (Homme)
guitar II (VanLeeuwan)

[Outro]

lyrics:
Cracks in the ceiling
Crooked pictures in the hall
Countin and breathin
I'm leaving here tomorrow
They don't know
I never do you any good
Laughin is easy
I would if I could

Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, I wanna drown
With nowhere to fall
Into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save and I know
You live till you die

Live till you die, I know

Loosing a feelin that
I couldn't give away
Countin and breathin
Disappearin in the fade
They don't know
I never do you any good
Stoppin and stayin
I would if I could

Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, I wanna drown
With nowhere to fall
Into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

Live till you die, I know
