"BARE" - Matt Nathanson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey yall! The is my first tab, so be gentle on the criticism, but any suggestions or
are certainly welcome. I know I'm in the right ballpark here with this songs chords and
pattern becuz he has the same play style as I do. Its the strumming and palm mutes that
this song fun. This is a great song, and it surprised me that no one tried tabbing
The intro is used throughout the song, so if you master the intro you'll have the entire
licked. Take note of the Chord Key:

-Repeat-
In the light
*P* *Q3*-
In the daylight it's all wrong
To revel in your memory
The smell of your body
*P* *Q3*
And the seconds that it kept me warm
And I'm coming down
Hitting ground
Breaking open
Twisted around
The sweet sound of the lies you told
When you were broken
Cause they've gone away
And I'm so sorry
Cause you're wide awake and
Planning parties now for all the fools
...
Who've gone and left you bare
...
*Q2*- E C(add9) *P*
*Q3*
And you said
In all your tragedy
*P* *Q3*-
You'd rather hide in mine
Oh so warm
*P**Q3*-
So sad you said I made your whole world shine
And I'm coming down
Hitting ground
Breaking open
Twisted around
The sweet sound of the lies you told
When you were broken
Cause they've gone away
And I'm so sorry
Cause you're wide awake and
Planning parties now for all the fools
...
Who've gone and left you bare
*P*
They left you there
*P*
And now I'm gone with all the fools
*P*
Who left you bare
They left you there
C(add9) *into picking*
Said so long dear
**Lightly pick throughout for bridge (not exact)**
Sounds just as good if you improv this part with the same strings in different variations.

Cause now I'm coming down
I'm hitting ground
I'm breaking open
Twisted around
The sweet sound of the lies that you told me
When you were broken
Cause you're always broken
Cause they've gone away
And I'm so sorry
Cause you're wide awake and
Planning parties now for all the fools
Who've gone and left you bare
Gone away
And I'm so sorry
Cause you're wide awake and
Planning parties now for all the fools
...
Who've gone and left you bare
