ALBUM:THE MAN WHO, 1999
Capo 2nd Fret, i think this is what has fooled most people trying to tab this, it

than a whole load of bar chords

Everyday I wake up and it's Sunday
And whatever's in my eye won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway?
G G/F#
Because my inside is outside
Em7 Dsus4 D
My right sides on the leftside
Cadd9 G
Cause i'm Writing To Reach You
Em7 Em7*
But i might never reach you
Em7** A7 Am7 D
Only want to teach you a-bout you but that's not you
It's good to know that you are home for Xmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you all know i'm hurting
It's good to know that i'm feeling not so well
Because my inside is outside my right sides on the leftside
Cause I'm writing to reach you
But i might never each you
Only want to teach you about you
But that's not you
Do you know it's true but that wont do
Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my eye should go away
But still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a Wonderwall anyway?
Because my inside is outside
My right sides on the leftside
Cause i'm Writing To Reach You
But i might never reach you
Only want to teach you about you but that's not you

| I think this song is the break up version of wonderwall by oasis. It's their guitar with his lyrics. If you want to know what a wonderwall is you should play their song. I heard of this song from Boulevard of broken songs. | |

| This song is fantastic.I first heard it when I was 13 in the beginning of 1999 and this got me into Travis,as the Man Who was the first album I bought and it thus got me into music.I saw them three years later in March 2002 they were the first band I went to see and they absolutely rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| Man, it's so hard to make a song like this, it's gentle, but not wishy-washy, it's still driving and earnest. | |

| this is probably the most brilliant travis song. i think wonderwall is a reference to oasis and the beatles at the same time. the oasis reference comes from "But still the radio is playing all the usual, and what's a Wonderwall anyway?" Wonderwall from What's The Story Morning Glory". the beatles reference comes from a movie from 1968 that george harrison wrote the score for. the movie was about a guy who had a voyeuristic obsession with a model named Penny Lane. He watches her in the neighboring apartment through a hole in the wall -- hence Wonderwall. It's about an obsession for a woman he cannot have and fits perfectly with the travis song. | |

| this is one of my favorites. So many times i've "written to reach you" even when i knew that "i might never reach you"... For me, this is a "killing me softly song" bc it seems like they well telling my life to everyone. I still don't get what they mean with: "Only want to teach you about you, but that's not you. Do you know it's true, but that won't do. And you know it's you, I'm talking to"......... Could someone help me? | |

| yeah brilliantly done with the stealing of the oasis tune. just a really great simple song that gets to the heart of getting over a break-up, and looking forward to what the future holds "maybe then tomorrow will be monday and whatever's in my eye should go away" | |
