Pretty simple fingering- not exactly correct because I did this without
music or guitar in front of me. Email me corrections please, if I don't
get to them first.
Played throughout.

TUNE DOWN 1/2 STEP
Im not sure if this is exactly rigth but it sounds pretty close , this
is my first attempt at trying to tab something out so bear with me.
It says E-A-D-G-B-e , but it is supposed to be tuned down
Cadd9 G/B C
e------------0--------------------------0-----------------------0
B---------3---------------------------3-----------------------1--
G------0----------------------------0-----------------------0----
D----2--------------2-------------0--------------0--------2------
A--3------------------------3-0-2---------------------0-3--------
E----------------------------------------------------------------
Em
e--------------0 basically just play this a few times untill you
B------------0-- come to the part where she says " I got my maple
G----------0---- syrup everything but you " on that part you just
D--------2------ play the C chord and then go to a D chord and
A--3-0-2-------- leave that last Em chord out , then repeat the
E--------------- verse part again , untill you come to the pre
chorus part , and you just play the C to D
again then play this
Chrous.........
the chorus is basically C-D-G-Em-C-D-G-Em-C-D- then back to the verse
part
Instead of just strumming the chords in the chorus do a pick and strum
combination.
here's something cool with that G-Em part
e-----1----1--------0-----
B-----0----0----------0---
G-----0----0------------0-
D-----0----0------2------- Then go back to the C and so on
A-----2----0----2---------
E---3----2----0----------- end the song with an Em
Well thats pretty much the whole song , except for that one bridge part,
I havent figured that out yet , but if I do Ill post it . I hope that my
first attempt a tabing something out was not too confusing , if you do
get confused just listen to the CD a few times and try to figure it out
.
ENJOY .

Lyrics:
I hear the clock at 6 am
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs I got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup everything but you
I break the yolks & make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place--wipe
the spots up off my mirror
don't leave the keys in the door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore
Chorus.
^СCause dreams last so long
even after your gone
I know you love me and soon you will see
you were meant for me
and I was meant for you
I called my mama she was out for a walk
consult a cup of coffee but it didn't want to talk
so I picked up a paper it was more bad news
my hearts bein' broken from people bein' used
put on my coat in the poorin' rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
^СCause it was happy oh I was sad and
It made me miss you oh so bad
Chorus
I go about my buisness I'm doin' fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line?
Same old story not much to say
hearts are broken everyday
I brush my teeth I put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up and then I turn the sheets down
and then I take a deep breath, a good look around
Put on my PJ's and hop into bed
Half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try to tell myself it'll all be alright
I just should'nt think anymore tonight
Chorus
thats all...umm...I can't figure out the chorus, but if I do I'll post it and
if you do please post it or email me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
so much, laters, nATe...
