Play-along to Garbage’s 1998 release “I Think I’m Paranoid” from their second album “Version 2.0”.

The drum part is based primarily on the studio album version with some variations based on a 2012 live rehearsal version I found on YouTube. Interestingly, the live rehearsal version is at 118 bpm, whereas the original album version is slower at 113.85 bpm. Here, I’m playing along to the studio album version of the song.
