Subject: Push... Matchbox 20

This is one of my favorite songs, and everytime I hear, I listen intently.
The other transcription listed just didn't sound right to me, but it was
going in the right direction.  There's just some minor changes...

Based on transcription by cthowlz1@ulkyvm.louisville.edu, which
was based on a transcription by EToups@BellSouth.net.

Song:   Push
Artist: Matchbox 20

Lead in with G  D/F#  Em  C(add2)  - Twice

         G                    D/F#                      Em
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
             C(add2)    G               D/F#            Em     C(add2)
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
    G                   D/F#                      Em
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
           C(add2)          G                D/F#                    Em
By a hand that's touched me, and I feel like somethings gonna give
                 C(add2)
And I'm a little bit angry
Dadd9                             C                                  D(add9)
Oh well, this ain't over no not here not while I still need you around
                                 C         D
You don't owe me, we might change, yeah we just might feel good


Chorus:
G       D               Csus2         D
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
G       D               Csus2       D
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
Em      D                 C     D
I wanna take you for granted...
Em      D                 C
I wanna take you for granted...
        D               G  D/F#  Em  C(add2)  - Twice
Yeah I will, I will

         G                    D/F#                      Em
She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
                  C(add2)    G                     D/F#              Em  C(add2)
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
    G                           D/F#            Em
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
                      C(add2)    G                   D/F#                  Em
You couldn't stand to be near me, when my face don't seem to want to shine
                    C(add2)
Cause it's a little bit dirty
Dadd9                                         C
Oh well, don't just stand there and say nice things to me
                                          Dadd9
I've been cheated, I've been wronged and you
                                C
You don't owe me, yeah well I can't change,
            D
I won't do anything at all...


(Chorus)

Em              D/F#     C                     D                       Em
Oh but don't bowl me over, just wait a minute, well it kind of fell apart
        D/F#  C      C
Things get so crazy, crazy
Em        D/F#    C(add2)  D    Em      D/F#     C(add2)     D
Don't rush this baby,           don't rush this baby,       baby...


(Chorus)
