	~Distinct tone derived from highly overdriven (not high solid state type gain)
	Marshall amp, pushing alot of low-end through the cabinet to acheive warm 
	organic tone - he uses some chords that have fifths added and other minors,
	i can't quite hear all the nuances but this should be enough to get you by...

Spleen

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I feel I give everything to you 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I think there’s nothing left to do 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I don't like today, take it all away 
Just like what you say - I don't want you 

Kinda like the way, everything is gray 
Just like what you say - I don't need you 

I don't look like you, do the things you do 
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I feel you are what’s changed my soul 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I think I'll never lose control 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I don't like today, take it all away 
Just like what you say - I don't want you 

Kinda like the way, everything is gray 
Just like what you say - I don't need you 

I don't look like you, do the things you do 
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you 

I don't understand it 
You’re killing this planet 
The scabs on your face 
It’s a fucking disgrace 
I blame you (2x) 

I blame you (5x) 

Can’t breathe! 
Shut up (2x) 

I'm don't like today, take it all away (shut up) 
Just like what you say - I don't want you (shut up) 

Kinda like the way, everything is gray (shut up) 
Just like what you say - I don't need you (shut up) 

I don't look like you, do the things you do (shut up) 
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you (shut up)
