Butch Walker
"The best thing you never had"
From the album "Letters (2004)"
Tabbed by Etni3s.
Tuning: DADGAD
Comment:
--------
Big shout out to Balta for his live version tab. Without it I would have
never gotten this right. Well.. I think it's fair to say that this is
pretty much a re-write of his tab. This is the album version by the way.
Have fun! Now grab your guitar and rock out!
Update note:
Changed it to DADGAD tuning and changed the chords a bit.

VERSE 1-------------------------------------------------------------------
D
Hello, how ya doin'
Dmaj7 G
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem?
Let me blow off some steam
D Dmaj7
For five years I waited so why am I jaded
G
To get back at you? What makes it cool when
CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
G D
You act like nothing ever happened
G D
I feel like I should feel bad
G
But I can't like
D E5
Someone who thought They're the only one that mattered
F#5
I hope that you're flattered
G5
cause you broke this down
A5 D Dmaj7 G
The best thing that you never had
VERSE 2-------------------------------------------------------------------
D
And it seems like I'm lost
Dmaj7
Somehow my heart got lost
G
On the way to my head and my brain cells are dead
D
and the craziness shows
Dmaj7 G
now I start to go when the green turns to red
and I should be dead when
CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
G D
You act like nothing ever happened
G D
I feel like I should feel bad
G
But I can't like
D E5
Someone who thought They're the only one that mattered
F#5
While my heart got shattered
G5
like romantic roadkill
F#5
my heart is all splattered
E5
your ego got fatter
F#5
I hope that you're flattered
G5
cause you broke this down
A5 D Dmaj7 G
The best thing that you never had
BRIDGE--------------------------------------------------------------------
E5
Like the toilet seat never got lifted
D
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around
E5
How could that be?
F#5
Don't turn this around
G5
You were the one who
A5 G5 F#5 E5
Drove my ass right to the ground
CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
G D
When you act like nothing ever happened
G D
I feel like I should feel bad
G
But I can't like
D E5
Someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
F#5
While my heart got shattered
G5
like romantic roadkill
F#5
my heart is all splattered
E5
your ego got fatter
F#5
I hope that you're flattered
G5 G#5
cause you broke this down, you broke this down
A5 D Dmaj7 G
The best thing, the best thing, the best thing... you never had
