there is no studio version...

the closest thing to an 'official' version of A Thousand Words is on LIB.

Does anyone know why he came up with it?
Why did he choose Cuz your gone?
How does the lyrics fit in with Cuz Your Gone?
I guess just let me know all you guys know about it.
I call it the Goo's Jam band song.

This is why i asked.. cos there's lyrics for it..

"A Thousand Words"

A thousand words, but none were spoken
Guess there's nothing left to say
Another dream just got broken
Guess things just turn out that way, yeah

I want you to love me
Want you to know I'm just like you
Just like you
A thousand words were spoken
Another dream, another day, yeah

I want you to feel me
Want you to feel like I do
Like I do
A thousand words were spoken
Guess there's nothing left to say, yeah

I want you to
Want you to know I'm just like you
I want you to f**k me
Want you to know I'm just like you
Just like you
Just like you
A thousand words just like you
A thousand words just like you

i think John had alreayd written it but ti was too short to be an entire song so when they were in Japan Johnny decided to throw that in at the solo of Cuz You're gone and he said if they cusse him out they wouldn't know,but they seemed to like it so they've done that ever since!

Right place, wrong tour. It was on the ABNG tour. There is a bootleg from this show in 3/96 I believe. The song doesn't sound exactly the same though.

the cloest thing to a "studio" quality version is probably the one from the Live in Buffallo DVD as it was properly recorded. although that version is slightly differnt to the more "common" version.

I acualy had to untune my guitar so I could find a good sound for it. Its almost nothing like the live version. I really wanted to make it my own, so I came up with a good tuning and added a solo towards the end becuase I wanted to make it a full song.
This is the tuning I came up with. I might post the tab one day.
