PUSH LUCK SHOVE
As Appearing on the album Karma Covered Apple
Written By Brent Babb, Steve Larson, Curtis Grippe, Brian Griffith
Transcription by Mark Ord (ord@alphalink.com.au)

Notes: * Take note of the first G5 (second chord of song). It's the
         only place in the song where is a chord progression of
         F5 -> G5. Everwhere else, it's F5 -> Bb5.

         Worth noting, because this confused the hell out of me, and
         is why it took me so long to actually work out Push Luck
         Shove. It wasn't until I began writing the tab that I
         explicitly noted that anonimally in the progression.

       * I'm not sure if (or what they are) there are actual chords
         in the chorus. I generally play the octave riff - let's
         face it, it's more fun. :) I'll add the chorus chords if
         I find there are any / what they are.

    Riff A. is an octaves riff, played during the chorus. The lyrics
    provide and example of it when played for the first chorus.


CHORDS:
   F5     : 133xxx
   G5     : 355xxx
   Bb5    : 688xxx
   
VERSE:
      (Palm mute throught verses) 
      F5           G5
      How much can anyone take?
      Bb5                 G5                 Bb5 
      It's gonna make you feel like you were screwed
                     G5                  Bb5
      It didn't have anything to do with you
          G5                 Bb5
      But that just makes it worse
              G5                   Bb5 (end palm muting etc.)              
      I don't believe anything you say
      But I'm tempted

      [Riff A.]

VERSE:
                        F5            Bb5
      And there's still everything to do
                     G5                 Bb5
      You just don't care if things get done
              G5               Bb5
      You say I'm not the only one
                  F5                  Bb5
      And I see a little bit of me in you
                     G5                  Bb5
      You just don't know how to have no fun
      G5
      Are you with me
      Bb5
      Or against me?

CHROUS:
      (w/Riff A. - 1 time)
      Honestly, I'm not crazy
      My head swims
      Curious clouds
      Never want to come down

VERSE:
                 F5           Bb5
      And I'd do anything for you
      G5                Bb5
      If you promise me you'll never ask me to
      G5                        Bb5  
      And you don't you make it seem like you need me
      F5                Bb5
      Treat me just the same
      G5
      You can't help me
      Bb5
      You can't hurt me
      G5
      You can't help me
      Bb5
      You can't hurt me

PRE-CHORUS:
      C 
      Ain't heavy, ain't dense
                                 Bb5
      Don't need to make to make sense
      Don't hear none now

VERSE:
                       F5                     Bb5
      Don't let me see shove your luck to the street
      G5                       Bb5
      I can't stand to see you treat it so thoughtlessly
      G5                     Bb5
      I suppose it shouldn't mean that much to me
      F5                        Bb5
      But that's how it's gonna be
          G5                     Bb5
      And that's how it's always been
      G5
      Are you with me
      Bb5
      Or against me?

PRE-CHORUS:
      C
      Ain't heavy, ain't dense
                                 Bb5
      Don't need to make to make sense
      Don't hear none now

CHORUS:
      (w/Riff A. - 2 time)
      Don't make me have to promise
      My time here ain't wasted
      My free fall and then fall around
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)

      If all 
      I'm not crazy
      My head swims
      Curious clouds
      Never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)

      (w/Riff A. - 2 times)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
      I never wanna come down (Never wanna come down)
