Tabbed by Rob Semmeling (smashedout@hotmail.com)
Great song by Ash, not difficult too play.
There are some racecar sounds mixed in the chorus, pretty weird but sounds
cool.
This song uses 3 guitars at times.

Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep you skinny
And your mind off the rain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
