Believe The Lie
Umphrey's McGee
Tab by Eric S
Starts like this (2nd guitar (bb) is playing muted F5 chords and other stuff)
Use lots of muting, open it up/vary it as you go, eventually trail off into harmonics
(or just rake the open strings with volume swells to get that nuclear reactor sound)

Repeat this 3 times, it's the verses
This part is actually something like what Joel plays, but since I did this already I figured I'd leave it

The guitars are generally playing this
|: G5 > A5 > E5 > intro riff x4 :|
So let this become memory
The worst is yet to come
And all these points we've argued
Still agree on some
When all faith is lost
Is it alright to laugh
Chorus

You can lead with all new lines
If you believe in what you'd say
And life can be just as you make it
Believe the lie and it will all come true
If you believe in every lie
You're never free to walk away
You should be free to go today
Believe the lie and it will all come true

Back to the intro, then verse
So let's pretend you're listening
And all the rules get stretched
Who's the first to turn their back
Feeling not their best
Find the right reaction
Floating on a raft
After doing that, and the chorus again, do this
Lots of palm muting here too. The harmony
