by Butch Walker


Butch Walker
"The best thing you never had"
From the album "Letters (2004)"

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-------------------------------------------------------------------
    
Hello, how ya doin'
                      
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem?
Let me blow off some steam
                          
For five years I waited so why am I jaded
     
To get back at you? What makes it cool when

CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
            
You act like nothing ever happened
           
I feel like I should feel bad
      
But I can't like
                               
Someone who thought They're the only one that mattered
  
I hope that you're flattered
      
cause you broke this down
                                
The best thing that you never had

VERSE 2-------------------------------------------------------------------
       
And it seems like I'm lost
        
Somehow my heart got lost
       
On the way to my head and my brain cells are dead
        
and the craziness shows
                      
now I start to go when the green turns to red

and I should be dead when

CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
            
You act like nothing ever happened
           
I feel like I should feel bad
      
But I can't like
                               
Someone who thought They're the only one that mattered
       
While my heart got shattered
     
like romantic roadkill
   
my heart is all splattered
     
your ego got fatter
  
I hope that you're flattered
      
cause you broke this down
                                
The best thing that you never had

BRIDGE--------------------------------------------------------------------
         
Like the toilet seat never got lifted
      
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around

How could that be?

Don't turn this around

You were the one who
                          
Drove my ass right to the ground

CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
                 
When you act like nothing ever happened
           
I feel like I should feel bad
      
But I can't like
                               
Someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
      
While my heart got shattered
     
like romantic roadkill
   
my heart is all splattered
     
your ego got fatter
  
I hope that you're flattered
                         
cause you broke this down, you broke this down
                                                              
The best thing, the best thing, the best thing... you never had
