Today Tab

by Ben Kweller


A "Today" Cover of the smashing pumpkins by Ben Kweller on one acoustic guitar

Not real sure what he's jamming on at the end there.  Possibly replace the B chord in 
last verse with a D barre  and that sounds pretty good too

Today is the greatest

Day I ?ve ever kown
             
Can?t live for tomorrow

Tomorrow?s much too long
         
I burn my eyes out
       
Before I get out

       
I wanted more
              
Than life could ever grant
           
Bored by the chore
           
Of saving face


(barre) (barre)  
Today   is   the   greatest

Day I have ever known
             
Can?t wait for tomorrow

I might not have that long
           
I'll tear my heart out
       
Before I get out

          
Pink ribbon scars

That never forget
         
I?ve tried so hard

To cleanse these regrets
       
My angel wings

Were bruised and restrained
         
My belly stings

     
Today is
     
Today is
     
Today is
                
The greatest day
                   
That I have ever       known

                 
I want to turn you on
                 
I want to turn you round
                 
I want to turn you on
         
I want to turn you

                
Today is the greatest
                 
Today is the greatest day
                 
Today is the greatest day
                 
That I have ever known
