Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York, USA by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner). They are most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals) and Robby Takac (vocals, bass).

I've tried to play the original tab, but it didn't quite work out when i plugged in my electric guitar... Something was a bit off, so here is my attempt
!! - Capo 2nd fret
Intro: E, B, A, B
Verse 1:
E Called you up ten years too late B Just to hear your voice again A I know your voice is still the same E I know that something`s changed
Verse 2 ( repeat EBAE ):
My words are choked and full of tears But still you listen to me dear And someone`s calling you away And now I understand
Pre-chorus:
F#A The time that I`ve wasted F# So bitter and faithless A Is tearing me down now, B Down now
Chorus: E So can you hear me? B Or would you sing along A Or turn me down B Forget I ever wrote this for you?
E So can you hear me? B Or has it been too long A I know that I was wrong B And this is still your song
Verse 3:
Turn it on and off again And now I lost another friend You waded through my darkest thoughts When I was sure to drown
Verse 4:
And now I pass you on my way And if you stop, what could I say? Apologies for yesterday Like a fool, I walk away
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge (fills are played as in the intro):
EB And all I understand E We’re here and gone again B Even through a thousand sleepless nights EB I fill the page with my beliefs E It`s all I have to keep B Tear it up and start again
Chorus
Coda: E I don`t pretend to understand B All the things I put you through E And I don`t need forgiveness B But I owe one thing to you A This is your song B This is your song
