                                |_start bending a whole step here
   
  
  Note: play above REALLY fast (obviously more times than shown)
  
  Play chorus:
  
  E5           F#5
  ? troubled times ?
  
  B5   A5  G#5  G5
  You know I cannot liiie
  
  E5           
   About the way you've been
  
  F#5
  Hitchin' a ride
  
  Play verse chords:
  B5 A5 G#5 G5
  
  Hitchin' a ride (la la la la)
  
  repeat, add in a little octaves like above.
  
  then stop and arpeggio:
  
  E:|---------5-|
  B:|-----------|
  G:|-----------|
  D:|------7----|
  A:|----6------|
  e:|--7--------|
  
  Note: there's probably more to this, but I can't find a way that's humanly
  possible.
  
  And that's it!
