Madder Rose was a New York City-based alternative pop band who recorded in the 1990s. The band was fronted by Mary Lorson, who shared songwriting duties with guitarist Billy Coté. Several of their songs, including "Panic On" and "Car Song", were featured in John Peel's end of year roundup the Festive Fifty. The band released three albums on Atlantic Records and one on independent label Thirsty Ear before breaking up in 1999. Their music has been described as suggesting the druggy languor of a heroin high

from the wonderful album you probably don't own Panic On
These lyrics may be wrong, but you get the idea :)
Opening Riff (these are the notes to it, even though they use harmonics on the record, this will be much easier for most of you
GEm -3------------------0---2---0----------| -0---0-0------------0------------------| -0-------0----------0------------------| play twice -0-0----------------2------------------| then lyrics start -2------------------2------------------| -3------------------0------------------|
(during the chorus after each Em chord, hammer on the 2nd finger on the high E string)
GEm If I just hang around outside
GEm I may just see you passing by
GEm And spend another sleepless night
GEm Looking for the nerve to face you
GEm And I can only think of one thing
GEm I can only think of one thing
(these chords just pick them not one note at a time, whatever works for you)
GACAC It comes from way inside, to let you know that I
GA See you crying all the time, and you'll cry
CC (hold) See you crying all the time, I almost lost my mind
play the riff twice again
GEm If I could summon up the will
GEm To call you up and talk until
GEm I'd get bedrezzled (??) from the chill
GEm It's always left me shaking
GEm And I can only think of one thing
GEm I can only think of one thing
GACAC It comes from way inside, to let you know that I
GA See you crying all the time, and you'll cry
CC (hold) See you crying all the time, I almost lost my mind
then there's a solo, where I usually play the opening riff again, and the G and Em chords or something. I'm too lazy to figure out the solo though, since I just have an acoustic guitar and don't really like to play them :)
the song ends on Em
