Hey guys! Mike here bringing you some chords, and maybe a bit of tablature, for this super rad Barenaked
Ladies song.
The other tab for this song was pretty close, but after watching Ed pretty closely live I realized it wasn't
quite right.
At the bottom I've included my interpretation of how he picks the verse. The other parts of the song are all
played chords so only use the picking pattern if you're up to the challenge. ;) I included this at the bottom
because I already know it's not 100% correct, but it's fun to hear it 99% accurate when played with the song.
Enjoy!

[Intro]
C, Dadd4, G, C
*Verse 1*
Cadd9 Dadd4 G C
I know you're not to kiss and tell,
C Dadd4 G C
But maybe nobody has ever kissed as well as you do,
C Dadd4
Don't know what's got a hold of me,
G C
Alcohol or alchemy,
C Dadd4 G C
I know you're not to kiss and tell - oh well.
*Chorus*
Cadd9 G
Anywhere you're gonna be, that's where I wanna be,
D G D
Right now, did I say that out loud,
Cadd9 G
Put your hands up in the air,
D G D
Wave 'em like you care and I'll be there,
Cadd9 G
Anywhere you're gonna be, that's where I wanna be,
D G D
Right now; did I say that out loud,
Cadd9 G
Woah-oh woah-oh
D G D
Woah-oh woah-oh--oh--oh--oh
*Verse 2*
C Dadd4 G C
They tell you not to plan too far,
C Dadd4 G C
But I'm already miles ahead, and I intend to be wherever you are,
C Dadd4
Don't know what's got a hold of me,
G C
It's greater than gravity,
C Dadd4 G C
They tell you not to plan too far, but we are.
*Chorus*
Cadd9 G
Anywhere you're gonna be, that's where I wanna be,
D G D
Right now, did I say that out loud,

Woah-oh woah-oh--oh--oh--oh
[Bridge]
Cadd9
When you get close,
G
And my heart goes,
D
Boom-boom-pow!
G D
Did I say that out loud?
Cadd9
When you kiss me,
G
And it hits me,
D
If I try to write about it,
G D
Someone's gonna diss me,
Cadd9
Miss me miss me,
G
Now we got a history,
D G
Is it such a mystery,
D
How I fell for you?
Cadd9 G D
How I fell for you.
*Chorus*
C Dadd4 G C
I know you're not to kiss and tell - oh well.
