Artist: Linkin Park
Title: Points of Authority
Album: Hybrid Theory
Tab: Felix Kiesewetter

Comment: This is the Points of Authority Tab
 I also added the lyrics cause they're awesome
 The Outro is based on the Verse, but it differs in some aspects
 Just listen to it. The Differences are the volume and there are some breaks
 It would be to complicated to describe them. But you'll make it! Have fun!

 PS: check out www.mp3.com and look for "hybrid theory" to get some
     awesomme demo tapes from Linkin Park. They rule!!!

LYRICS

"points of authority" - lyrics by Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda

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

[intro/3.Verse:]

Forfit the game
before somebody else
takes you out of the frame
and puts your name to shame
cover up your face
you can't run the race
the pace is too fast
you just won't last

[1.Verse:]

You love the way I look at you
while taking pleasure in the aweful things you put me through
you take away if I give in
my life
my pride is broken

[Chorus:]

You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you learned)
you want to act like you're someone
(You live what you learned)
you want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learned)
you want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learned)

[2.Verse:]

You love the things I say I'll do
the way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
you take away when I give in
my life
my pride is broken

[Chorus]

[3.Verse] x2

[Chorus:]

You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you learned)
you want to act like you're someone
(You live what you learned)
you want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learned)
you want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learned)

You like to think you're never wrong / Forfit the game
(You live what you learned)
you want to act like you're someone / Forfit the game
(You live what you learned)
you want someone to hurt like you / Forfit the game
(You live what you learned)
you want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learned)
