You Gotta Learn to Live with What You Are
Ben Folds

I'm not sure what this song is from, but my friend really likes this song. It's 
all orchestra and everything when he does it, but if you pick the chords for the 
first verse, and start strumming at the pre-chorus (And now that the gig is 
up...), it doesn't sound all that bad!

My voice is lower then Ben Folds though, so I did change the key lower. I believe he plays it in E?
Of course, you could simplify all the base notes in the song to the root chord or 
whatever it's called, but it sounds nicer if you can hit it all!

Verse:
G (320003@1)Bm (x24432@1)        CI (x32010@1)know that you're in there
	G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C

G (320003@1)Bm (x24432@1)CYou're (x32010@1)saying you're okay
