Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I found that the other tabs didn't have the right sound for the first chord, so along with a video of Jake playing the song and those tabs I have transposed it to sound closer to the actual song.

Intro D / G (Hammer on the A string)
D
Well I see you standing there and your eyes are unaware that G I've been staring at them all night wishing the brain behind them cared about Em the way you make me feel or how your smile makes me nervous or A how the fact how you exist makes me feel like I have a purpose
D I'm sick of lying in your bed while we're both laying down you say G you say want me for a friend I hope you know I hate that sound Em but I will bite my tongue because hate when your pissed off but you should AG know that I need your touch like falling rain on thirsty crops but…
AD5C#BmG Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard AD5C#BmG The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart AD5C#BmG And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more A So why won't you love me?
D Well I hate your cigarettes and the men that you go see because G one is killing you while the other is killing me but Em I know you'll stay stubborn cause you'll know I'll stay alone cause A we both know inside your grasp is the only place I feel at home
D Now I sit with my guitar write you one more stupid song G I hate the way you make me feel like I'm doing something wrong Em but you'll just have to deal with all the things that I have mentioned and AG I'll hope this song is golden like the point of my intentions but…
AD5C#BmG Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard AD5C#BmG The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart AD5C#BmG And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more A So why won't you love me?
DG
D But now the beat is done and there is nothing left to say pray to the G god you don't believe in that you'll love me some day Em so when the years go by and you forget how much I cared AG put in this song and sing along so your heart will be aware
AD5C#BmG It's like giving up on everything that you believe AD5C#BmG To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve AD5C#BmG And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more AD But you just wont love me
