Josh plays some interesting notes on keyboard which repeats 

during the entire chorus.  It reminds me of an alarm going off.

SOLO: Keyboard arranged for guitar.  There is excellent note 

selection in this solo which fits perfectly with the song.  

Sounds as if Josh is using a clarinet sound on keyboard.

OUTRO: This is the same riff as the chorus, however, there are 

some chromatic runs as the outro builds.  Starts 4 measures in.



   “If you don't kill me…”    “I'm going to have to kill you!”
