Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon
---------------------------------------------------------------------
tabbed by: Clint Harris
Just about all VH songs are tuned a half step down so stop whining and do it already.
Intro (repeats throughout song):
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
B|-3-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-3-5-5-3-5-5-8-7-3-5-5-3-5-5-3-5-3-5-5-3-5-5-1-0--|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse:
For the first an second versus play this twice before the words
begin (3rd verse skip this and go right to the chords).
e|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----1------------3-3-----3-3-3-----------------------------------|
G|-0h2-2-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-----0-0-0-----------------------------------|
D|-0h2-2-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0h2-2-2-2-----------------------------------|
A|-0-----0h2-2-2-2-2----0h3-3-3-3-----------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then play the following:
Am E7sus4 E? Cadd9
e|-0--0-------0--0--------------------------------------------------|
B|-1--0-------3--3--------------------------------------------------|
G|-2--2-------2--0--------------------------------------------------|
D|-2--0-------0--2--------------------------------------------------|
A|----2-------2--3--------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Am E7sus4
Somewhere they're speaking
E? Cadd9
Its already coming in
Am E7sus4 E? Cadd9
Oh and its rising in the back of your mind
Am E7sus4
You never could get it
E? Cadd9
Unless you were fed it
Am E7sus4 E? Cadd9
And now you're here and you dont know why
These chords are played by striking the first string of the chord, a miniscule pause
and then the rest.
Kinda Dave Matthewsish.
Chorus:
Am G Em D C
e|0---3--0---2--0---------------------------------------------------|
B|1---3--0---3--1---------------------------------------------------|
G|2---0--0---2--0---------------------------------------------------|
D|2---0--2---0--2---------------------------------------------------|
A|0---2--2------3---------------------------------------------------|
E|----3--0------0---------------------------------------------------|
Am G
He's everything you want
Em D
He's everything you need
Am G
He's everything inside of you
Em D
That you wish you could be
Am G
He says all the right things
Em D
At exactly the right time
Am G D C (Let ring)
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why
Bridge:
Em
But you'll just sit tight
C
And watch it unwind
Em D C
It's only what you're asking for
Em
And you'll be just fine
C
With all of your time
Em D C (let ring)
It's only what you're waiting for
Finish up with:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----1------------3-3-----3-3-3-----------------------------------|
G|-0h2-2-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-----0-0-0-----------------------------------|
D|-0h2-2-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0h2-2-2-2-----------------------------------|
A|-0-----0h2-2-2-2-2----0h3-3-3-3-----------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
(during the "And I don't know why, why, and I don't know" at the end of the song.) And then
do the intro again.

| maybe this is way off base, but i thought it was about himself. there are two sides to everybody, who we are and who we want to be. | |

| this is an AMAZING SONG, and I'm sure most people have been in the situation described by the song, but wow do you have to be full of yourself to use this song to show how you feel. "I am everything you want I am everything you need I am everything inside of you That you wish you could be I say all the right things At exactly the right time" if you're to that point, you are obcessed with yourself and really need to rethink who you are. nobody is perfect. think about why somebody would not want to be with you and listen to that reason. if they say you are "too perfect" or they "don't deserve you" then they lie and cant tell you/cant think of a reason they didnt "click" with you. | |

| ok so, this song has at least two meanings that I KNOW of. My friend's brother wrote the chorus, and sold it to one of those companies that buys lyrics for certain bands to use. Vertical Horizon got a hold of the few lines my friend's brother wrote, and liked it enough that they wrote the rest of the song around it. The meaning of the chorus was about this girl who lives down the street from me that he liked, and basically waited hand and foot on for months, but she just never liked him as anything more then a friend. | |

| I think the song is talking about ONLY two peeople but he is talking in 3rd person for part of the song and then he switches into "I am everything you want...." and you see he's been talking about himself the whole time. Since she doesn't know that he is all she wants and needs she doesn't see it as him until the last chorus. The rest is more or less about a girl who is so confused with here life that she can't seem to figure out what it is she wants. | |
