this is an amaaaazing song--u just gotta love it. i already knew how to play the
basic chords, but foolin around i got all the riffs figured out (plus the reed
parts) on my own. matchbox 20 two guitarists, so naturally this is for two
guitars. so along with the riffs i have the chords for the rhythm guitarist. you
can pick if u want to pick it, play chords, or mix em both. =) questions/comments

VERSE 1:
it's nothing, it's so normal
(Riff 2)
you just stand there, i could say so much
(Riff 2)
but i don't go there cuz i don't want to
i was thinkin if, you were lonely
(Riff 2)
maybe we could leave here and no one would know
(Riff 2)
at least not to the point that we would think so
CHORUS:
everyone here knows everyone here is thinkin bout somebody else
well it's best if we all keep this under our heads
i couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way i do
(Riff 4a)
but i'm lonely now, and i don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good
VERSE 2:
(Riff 1)
this don't mean that, you own me well,
(Riff 1) (Riff 2)
this ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
(Riff 2) (Riff 1)
but things worked out just like you wanted to
(Riff 1)
if you see me out you don't know me
(Riff 1) (Riff 2)
try to turn your head, try to give me some room
(Riff 2) (Riff 1)
to figure out just what i'm gonna do
CHORUS:
cuz everyone here hates everyone here for doin just like they do
and it's best if all keep this quiet instead
i couldn't tell, why everyone here was doin me like they do
(Riff 4a)
but i'm sorry now, and i don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good
CHORUS:
everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
and everyone here's to blame, everyone here
gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
yea well everyone here hides shades of shame
yea but lookin inside we're the same, we're the same
and we're all grown now, but we don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good
CHORUS:
everyone here knows everyone here is thinkin bout somebody else
well it's best if we all keep this under our heads, hell our heads yea
i couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way i do
(Riff 4a) (Riff 4b)
but it's over now, and i don't know how
(Riff 3)
yes it's over now there's no getting back to good
OUTRO:
