From: Angell Tsang [a-cute-angle@mailexcite.com] Sent: Monday, December 22, 1997 10:01 PM Song: Motorcycle Drive By Artist: Third Eye Blind Album: Third Eye Blind on Elektra records Lyrics and music: Stephen Jenkins Tabbed by: Angell Tsang "a-cute-angle@mailexcite.com" I tabbed this as accurately as I could. It's an awesome song, especially when it kicks into the distortion. I love the drums in this song too. I think they should release this one as their next single. There's no real verse/chorus in the song, and I couldn't decide what was, so I'll leave it to you to decide... Acoustic guitar in the beginning...

^CVisions of you on a motorcycle drive by, The ^A7suscigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind, you ^G6smile,

^Fmaj7And say the world, it doesn't ^Cfit with you.

I don't believe you, You are so serene.

Ca^Amaj7reening through the universe, Your axis on a ^G6sustilt, you're guiltless and ^Fmaj7free,

I hope you take a piece of ^Cme with you, And there's things I would like to do, that you don't bel^Amaj7ieve in,

I would like to ^G6susbuild something, but you never see it ^Fmaj7happen, And there's this ^Cburning, Like there's ^A7susalways been,

I've ^G6never been so alone, And ^Fmaj7I've, C/G* (distorted strumming) I've never been so alive,

(strum) Amaj7 G6sus F

and there's this ^Amaj7burnin', uh huh, there is this ^Fburning, yeah, yeah, yeah.^C/G..

Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.

The surface is everything, but I could never ^Amaj7do that, Someone would see ^G6susthrough that.

And this is the ^C/Glast time, We'll be ^Amaj7friends again. and ^G6susI'll get over you, you'll wonder, ^FWho I am.

And there's this ^C/Gburning, just like there's ^Amaj7always been, I've ^G6susnever been so alone, alone, And ^FI've, and I've, I've never been so

C (back to picking the intro) Fmaj7 alive.......................so alive. Outro:

^C I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out, ^Amaj7On the water, Alone, Taste the salt and taste the pain.

I'm not ^G6susthinking of you again,^C Summer dies and swells rise, The sun goes down in ^Amaj7my eyes, See this rolling wave,

Darkly comi^G6susng to take me, ^Fmaj7Home, And I've ^G6susnever been so alone, And ^Fmaj7I've never been so alive.
