verse 1 
F (Riff 2)                                Bb 
You are the first thing I think of, every time Im feeling abused. 
F                                  Bb              F 
Youre someone with a penchant, for helping to be relieved. 

Chorus: 
    Dm               G              Bb       F 
But where-ere do you turn,    cause Ive been burned. 
      Dm               G              Bb                   F 
While you have lear-er-er-erned,   to follow me out of the room. 

Riff 2 
F(Riff 2)                             Bb              F 
Monday is coming soo-oon,   I hope you find me with nothing to do. 
F                                                 Bb              F 
I need an excuse to take it up a notch, to use my head and follow thru. 

REPEAT Chorus 

MIDDLE 8: 
s/A7           Bb                   F                Dm 
I know my reservations well.  They,   keep me out of range. 
A A7           Bb                                 G                   F 
I cant seem to integrate, and Id rather stay this way-ay. Way-a-a-ay.

Song ends on 4th cycle of Riff 2. 

Notes: The riff is easier to play than diagram.  
       I think all the essential elements are tabbed here. 
       The first position 6-string F chord is the root of the riff. 
       Riff 1 Sounds like its all from the first fret.  
       Riff 2 includes the slide up to the 6th fret barred Bb position. 
              Sounds like guitar riff alternately uses (double notes). 
       Riff 3 Sounds like all single notes, the bass sounds the Bb note  
             at the recurring change to Bb. 

This is one of the best songs on the album ((PALAIS)).
