Monday, March 2nd, 2009
Master all parts of this song in ten minutes. Easy way to do picking with bar chords. No Capo. Also teaches full chords of song. Tabs are included on-screen throughout.
Give it a try and give me some feedback.
Please don’t about my singing, it’s not a vox lesson.
Keep in mind this lesson is for beginners by a beginner so constructed criticism is good, because I already know i’m not perfect..

LYRICS:
When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I’m guilt stricken, sobbin’ with my head on the floor
Stop a Baby’s Breath and a shoe full of rice, no…
I can’t be held responsible
‘Cause she was touching her face
I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
My best friend took a week’s vacation to forget her
His girl took a week’s worth of valium and slept
And now he’s guilt stricken sobbin’ with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says
I can’t be held responsible
‘Cause she was touching her face
I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
hey yay e yay e yay e yay e yay hey yay e yay e
We’ve tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lack in relationships
And how we’re guilt stricken sobbin’ with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we’d say
I can’t be held responsible
‘Cause she was touching her face
And I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

This is an easier simplified version of this great song. I always struggle to sing and play this one though, so lets hope you make a better job than me.
