Biography:

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.

R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

{Main Riff}
This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated

A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5 C5 G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5 C5 G5
I laid my welcome mat.

{Main riff}
If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can't find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees.
Now look who's asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5 C5 G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5 C5 G5
I laid my welcome mat.

{Bridge}: D----|C--B-A| 4 Times

{Main riff}
Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
easily defeated.

Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
seconal and astroglide.
fuck with me and traumatize.
don't you see I love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see it?

A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5 C5 G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5 C5 G5 Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5 C5 G5
I laid my welcome mat.
