In fig.1, the high strings are very heavily muted.
You almost can't hear a pitch, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

Now and then I think of when we were together

(play with fig.1)
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
But you didn't have to cut me off, make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
