Hey this is the first tab I've ever tried so if it's not right go easy on
me. This is a pretty cool song that's on the radio a lot and it's pretty
easy to play. Enjoy
The rhythm intro goes like this:
E--------------------------- Just do this over and over
B--------------------------- throughout the verse.
G---9------------9----------
D---9--9--7-7----9--9--7-7-7
A---7--9--7-7----7--9--7-7-7
E------7--5-5-------7--5-5-5
The little solo riff at the beginning and in other places:
E---2-4-2-0------2-4-2-0-----
B-----------2------------2--0
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
I'm not sure about the chorus. Somebody should figure it out and submit it.

| I agree with "sls23" on that one. Everybody messes that up. Anyway, to me this song is about a lover who you want to forget about but just can't. It's a really cool song and fun to jam with on guitar! | |

| just reminds me of how life is always changing and changes your relationships with the people around you. sometimes change is for the better but its still hard to transition. | |

| it's likely about an incredible relationship that isn't there anymore. steve (jenkins, the lead singer) begins with "there's every good reason for letting you go" and 'ere too long informs "i never let you go". obviously he realizes that he needs to move on because it's over and there's nothing to do but seek another harbor. however, the song continues with this conflicted state of mind, because he argues "even if i changed, what's wrong with it?" the lyric is reminiscent of a "take me back" kind of argument. later on, he expresses that he doesn't understand why he can't be together with this super-fly chica. "if there's a reason, it's lost on me" but still allows himself an out, in the interest of adapting himself to the fact that they may never resume the previous relationship. "maybe we'll be friends, i guess we'll see". the last verse is an amazing form of nostalgia. i love the "i remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets, and the beads" lines because that's what past relationships eventually become. a letter here, a bracelet there, things that remind us of times that are gone--"you don't dream for me, no". we can still feel that magic every so often, after it's over, if we've found it hard to get over that person. hence "i still feel your pulse like a sonar". the line that takes the cake for me is "that girl is like a sunburn i would like to save". incredibly poetic.... we can get burned, but we don't want the burn to fade away, because we want to keep that girl (or that guy) in that magical way that she/he once meant to us. once the sunburn's gone, you've learned and don't feel the pain anymore. so kudos to windchild, because the song really is about change and the road blocks we face along the way to accept it. | |

| I've always personally thought it switches off between "i'll" and just "I". that's what it sounds like. my favorite part of this song is the transition near the end when they cut the drums for a couple bars. i listen to that a lot, just repeating it over and over. this is my friend charlie's song. | |
