Cheers To Sorrow

[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, palm-muted eighth notes] [drums enter with snare hits and crash cymbals] [harmonized lead guitar melody] [Verse 1] [bass and drums lock into a driving rhythm] [melodic male vocals] Let me tell you a story About a perfect man A perfect woman With a perfect plan To breed the human body [vocals become more aggressive] [Pre-Chorus] [guitar riff becomes more syncopated] But she wants what she cannot have And he, he wants none of this Yeah! [Chorus] [full band intensity, power chords] Cheers to sorrow And the tears that follow Bills tomorrow And the years that follow [Verse 2] [driving rhythm continues] An age-old tale Is the same old story To bid farewell Is to leave one lonely [Pre-Chorus] [aggressive vocal delivery] But she wants what she cannot have And he, he wants none of this Yeah! [Chorus] [heavy drum fills] Cheers to sorrow And the tears that follow Bills tomorrow And the years that follow Cheers to sorrow And the tears that follow Bills tomorrow And the years that follow [Bridge] [half-time drum feel, sustained guitar chords] [vocal ad-libs: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!] [long sustained scream] [Guitar Solo] [rapid alternate picking, wah-wah pedal effect, high-pitched bends] [double-kick drumming] [Chorus] [maximum volume, driving rhythm] Let's go! Put 'em up! Cheers to sorrow And the tears that follow Bills tomorrow And the years that follow Cheers to sorrow And the tears that follow Bills tomorrow And the years that follow [Outro] [sustained vocal note with vibrato] [final drum roll and guitar feedback]
