LIFEHOUSE
my first tab was messed up, i had only half of the interlude. but this one is complete.
Its? straight
the book. I had to convert some of the parts because the different guitars had capos in
different spots. The
parts were ment for a 12 string.

"Trying" CAPO ON THE 3RD FRET

*intro*
Could you let down your hair
And be transparent for a while
Just a little while
To See if your human after all
VERSE
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
VERSE
let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do just
*Asus2 E G F#7sus4*
Trying to find my way
*Asus2 E G F#*
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
VERSE
Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art for today
VERSE
if I qoute all the line off the top of my head
will you believe
that I fully understand all of these things Ive read
*Asus2 E G F#7sus4*
Im just trying to find my way
*Asus2 E G F#7sus4*
Trying to find my way
*Asus2 E G F7*
Trying to find my way the best that I know how *interlude*
*C#m F#m D A E/G#
Well I havent got it all figured out quite yet but
*C#m F#m
even if it takes my whole life
*D A E/G#
To get to where I need to be
*Bsus4/E F#m D
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
*E D E
I'll be one step back to you
*D A C B
trying to find my way
*D A C B
Trying to find my way
* Asus2 E G F#sus4
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
*Asus2 E G F#
Trying to find my way

i love it when he says..."i haven't memorized all the cute things to say- but i'm working on it." it just makes me think about how people think that they have to live up to certain expectations..but noones perfect. he probably hears all these guys telling their girlfriends all these cheesy lines and he thinks that he has to do that too but he hasn't learned it yet. he just feels that pressure and hes trying like everyone else is. thats what everyone in life is doing..just trying to be their best.

I see this song in a different way. I believe he's addressing a girl, or rather, a girl who's a bit "uptight" about her faith. (Could you let down your hair/And be transparent for a while/Just a little while/to see if you're human after all) I think what Jason's trying to say is that he is far from perfect and he doesn't have all the answers to life's questions...but he's working on it. He's not perfect, but his faith is real.

I think this song represents the purity of learning. Learning about life, love, and how to be happy without being fake. My favorite line (by far) is, "And if I should fall / To the bottom of the end / I'll be one step back to you" because that can also be interpreted as a moving-on song. I'm moving on, but even if I can't move on, I can always go back to you and that would be okay.

I think its about a guy trying to be something he's not just to get a girl. And he doesn't like what he's becoming.

I heard this song on Third Watch and feel in love with it. I just had to download it. I hope other people like it at least that much too.
