During the choruses, guitar 1 plays the above part, with minor
variation.
Guitar 2 roughly doubles guitar 1's part during the first chorus.

Verse: (Guitar 2 tacet)
Well I'm all messed
That's nothing new
Hey monkey, when you open up your blue eyes
I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming
But all I ever need is everything
            * (w/ fill 1)
Hey monkey, where you been?
                   * (w/ fill 2)
This lonely spiral I've been in
                     * (w/ fill 3)
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?

Verse:
(Guitars tacet)
Got nowhere but home to go
                          * (both guitars enter with the E chord)
Got Ben Folds on my radio right now
(Right here, the guitars switch channels;
gtr. 1 is now right panned, gtr. 2 is now left)

(Guitar 1 plays only the chords now, guitar 2 plays the part below)
I'm in trouble for the things I need
Hey monkey don't you want to be needed too?
