Matt Nathanson – Laid

Ok, I’ve tabbed this song out in two ways.  The first is the way Matt Nathanson plays 
it on the studio version, and the second way is how I play it for I don’t have a string 
quartet at my disposal.  My way just simply adds some of the sounds that would come from 
a bassist and a string quartet playing with me.  There are only two parts to this song, 
so it’s really simple.  I’ve tabbed the strums as accurately as I could, but listen 
to the song to get it 100% to your satisfaction.  Enjoy!

	A decent song with decent lyrics about a guy who is with a woman and she's driving him nuts. He want to leave her, but there's still too much love there. Thats ok tho, cause in another few years he'll hate her and that'll be that. lol Not the greatest song in the world, but certainly not the worst.

	Amazing song! It always makes me feel better when I listen to it.

	i don't like how people always think this is Matt's only song. it's a good song. and he does it well live. but if i never heard him play it again... i wouldn't be upset.

No Picture Robyn Average	#4 by Robyn Paul at Apr 23, 1990 at 12:07 PM EST
	Personally I like tge Better Than Ezra version... But yeah, this song rocks. I used it as my backround for xanga cuz it fit perfectly. I want to copy n paste a really important part but that dissecting this song would be scandalous! It's brillaint and ne1 whose been in a crazy/love relationship can relate.

	Definitely one of my top 2 songs! When I hear I think of a guy who is really annoyed by this girl, but they love each other. "You're driving me crazy...when are you coming home?".

No Picture Frost Wanna Be	#6 by Frost Bite at May 18, 1994 at 6:29 AM EST
	Awesome song, fits the theme of American Pie well, which is where this song is taken from. Very funny, very catchy, very COOL!
