This is a song by Matchbox 20 that is much like a B-side or something because it was recorded but was never put on the Yourself or Someone Like You album. It?s quite kickass, and I hope you all enjoy it. Standard tuning, no capo... E-A-D-G-B-E
CHORDS: G:320033 D:xx0232 C:x32010 Em:022000
Intro: Em-G-D-C (2x)
VERSE 1:
EmD Well it?s for sure, things came down hard
G But you couldn?t wait, yeah
CEm All I ever think about is myself
DG And everyone else, well they get strung out
C But I get high, high, high
EmG But it?s something you?d better get straight
D I ain?t got no room in my life
C Pick up the anchor and set it straight
CHORUS:
EmGDC Well stop, well I, I don?t wanna thank you honey I don?t think so
EmG You?d better stop, and try
DC Cuz if there?s a difference here between us, well it?s you and I and I
Em-G-D-C
EmD Well, it?s a shame, you pander to me
G C?mon stroke on my ego
CEm Like it?s never been broke before hell, by anyone else
GDC And what doesn?t kill you, it makes you linger, and it makes you wonder
EmG Hell, for goodness sake how do you ever get sleep
DC There?s just one thing I can believe, what doesn?t kill you makes you stay here
CHORUS: (Same as before)
During solo: Em-G-D-C (2x)
After solo, it goes like this:
Em......(NC) G But it?s something you?d better get straight........(and the same as the other chorus from there)
The rest of the song just repeats the same rhythm pattern as before, and that?s pretty much it. If you any questions or comments you can email me at [email protected]
