"Flavor of the Weak"
Off of their self-titled album
Transcribed by Brian Stofko ("Incubus")

	This is a great song but it did take a little while to tab it.  Please e-mail
me with any suggestions you might have to this tab, there could be an error or two. Anyway 
there is a lot of complicated parts in this song especially the 2nd Solo, so I suggest that
you listen to the song as you play it.-

Flavor of the Weak 

she paints her nails and she don't know
he's got her best friend on the phone
she'll wash her hair
his dirty clothes are all he gives to her
and he's got posters on the wall
of all the girls he wished she was
and he's everything to her 

chorus:
her boyfriend, he don't know
anything about her
he's too stoned, nintendo
i wish that i could make her see
she's just the flavor of the weak 

it's friday night and she's all alone
he's a million a miles away
she's dressed to kill
the tv's on
he's connected to the sound
and he's got pictures on the wall
of all the girls he's loved before
and she knows all his favorite songs 

repeat chorus 

yeah! 

her boyfriend, he don't know
anything about her
he's too stoned, he's too stoned
he's too stoned, he's too stoned 

repeat chorus 

yeah she's the flavor of the weak
she makes me weak
