Someone took the bottle left it back inside
On the bottom of the back of the shelf
Another two stop to go inside
It's making me think of myself

(I said) I don't wanna wait
This out anymore
Keep standing
Standing
Stop!

Time tick-tock the clock is back
I think I'm going to to lose it this time
Teapot screaming at the top of its lungs
That somebody better move it

(I said) I don't wanna wait
Outside anymore
Keep standing
Standing
Stop!

Now it's on the rise
Why don't you tell me?
I don't want to wait

(I said) Now it's on the rise,
Why don't you tell me?
I don't want to wait.

(I said) Now it's on the rise,
Why don't you tell me?
I don't want to wait.

(I said) Now it's on the rise,
Why don't you tell me?
I don't want to wait.

Electricity is shaking the leaves
The crowd is buzzing like bees
Blades of grass on the back of my neck
And the whispering in the breeze

(I said) I don't wanna wait
Outside anymore
Keep standing
Standing
Stop!

(Chorus)

Someone took the bottle left it back inside
On the bottom of the back of the shelf
Another two stop to go inside
It's making me think of myself

(I said) I don't wanna wait
Outside anymore
Keep standing
Standing
Stop!

(Chorus 2x)

Rise begins with Al playing this riff while chuck is adding slide voicings behind Al's part:

Al:

chuck is playing behind al doing slide voicings with volume swells

--/--14--\-----/12\-----/14\-/14\-/14\---/12-----
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

the main riff is an A-G progression.Al is holding the melody down while chuck dances around it with little comlintary add ons
Al:

-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

the verse riff Al is playing a simple arpeggio based on the main riff, minus the trill:
----------7--------------------7-------12h14p12---
---5-----8---5-----7----5-----8--5----------------
----6---7-----6---7-7----6---7----6---------------
-----7---------7----------7--------7--------------
------7---------7----------7--------7-------------
--------------------------------------------------

chuck verse has him playing this single note pattern skatting it here and there. the accent of this adds so much to what Al is playing. without it,,and something is missing:
Chuck:

-----------------------------------------------------------

the chorus:

Al is playing this based on a G-A progression

Al:
-------------------------------------
-3-3--2------2-3-2--3-3-3--2-3-2-----
-4-4--2------2-4-2--4-4-4--2-4-2-----

-------------------------------------

***8*********(a DancesWithWoox suggestion here)*******************
while trying to figure this out, i came upon this,it's based on the vocal melody of the chorus. don't think Al is doing this, but for guitar accompaniment purposes, you may like this ,below:

----------------------------
---0-2---2-3-2----5-5-----5-
-2-0-2-2-2-4-2----6-6-7-6-6-
