Verse 2:
D [guitar stops, bass keeps playing]
Life is too short so love the one ya got
'cause you might get run over or ya might get shot
D G
Never have the battle with the bulletproof vest
D G
Never start static I get it off my chest
D G
Take a small example, a tip from me
D G
Take all of your money, give it up to charity
D G
Love is what I got, within my reach
D G
the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
D G
It comes back to you, you're going to get what you deserve
D G
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
D G
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
D G
you'll feel it when the dance gets hot
Chorus: [In this chorus you play the GUITAR-SOLO (above) again while the singer is singing]
D G D
Loving, is what I got
G
I said remember that
D G D
Loving, is what I got
G
I said remember that
(After the chorus come some weird sounds that I don't know how to play. Just let the guitar be silent and let the bass play 'D G' 4 times)
Verse 3:
D G
I don't cry when my dog runs away
D G
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
D G
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
D G
Hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
D G
Fuck it, fight it, it's all the same
D G
Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
D G D [guitar stop, weird sound]
Let the loving, let the loving come back to me
Chorus: (no guitar solo in this chorus)
D G D
Loving, is what I got
G
I said remember that
D G D
Loving, is what I got
G
I said remember that
Outro:
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
(the rest of the outro is just repeating the chorus like usual many times, but there's a lot of picking in it that I've transcribed below)
