Barenaked Ladies
Off the Hook

This is a favorite of mine and I couldn't find a tab of it anywhere,
so I figured it out.  I made this tab from the Demo version of the
song.  Listen to the song of the timing.
I recommend playing the C chord as a barre chord in A formation
everywhere aside from where it specifies open.

                                    GAnd (320003@1)next to you he fills the space
          Em (022000@1)              BmAnd (x24432@1)so it seems your saving grace is only saving face
