I know, she said...
(D7) (*) (G)
before you left me you were free
(Gm) (D)
So I'll just lay me down
Fill: (Asus4) (A7)

So let me turn around
Fill: (Asus4) (A7)

Do you really want to play these games

And you wanna die now
(Rest of the song follows the same chord progression)
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
SO let me hold you down
Never let me down I swore to you
But now I lie
I'm here to make it all seem worthwhile
You want I know
But I'll have to try
To find a way to make me quiet now
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So won't you hunt her down
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down.

Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

He made you turn around

You do that thing you do

And then you laughed with me

I don't know but she's watching me leave
(riff A again)
Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now
Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population
She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here

@SONG: She Crawls Away
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
(this one can be played with a capo at the 4th using C Dm or something))
Intro: E F#m B-B
(verse)
E
I fall in she sees me and smiles
F#m
Then she starts to hate herself again
E
She screams something under her breath
F#m
That I wouldn't know if she said it outloud
(verse)
She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we've been missing
(bridge)
C#m E F#m B-B
It's like I never knew anyone so strong before
C#m E
She Brings the man outa me
A B-B
And she makes me see that they don't matter
(chorus)
E B
I believe
A B-B
We see her playin' with another
E B A
She runs around you and then
F#m B B7
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
(verse)
She wears white pants a Miami sweater
Says that She loves the O's
So Uncle Dean will come by
(verse)
Her smile is like sunshine
Her tears hurt like leather
She runs the show she lets me know
Says it's all about being the only
(bridge)
It's like someone said you could have one good thing in your life
She couldn't be your type
I didn't plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin'
(chorus)
I believe, we see her layin with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
A B
Where were you yesterday
E A
Now that my heart is wild and free
C#m B
And my lips have room to wander
A C#m
How can I say your needing me now
B
When I've got a plan
A
I know you don't understand why my heart is sorry now
(chrous 2x)
I believe
We see her laying with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls
I believe
We see her waiting with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

@SONG: So Strange
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
(capo 2nd)
Intro: D-A-G (2x)
(verse)
D A G (Riff A)
It's so hard to breathe right now
D A G (Riff B)
Living things without a friend of mine
D A C G A
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
G A
You thought you could feel
(verse)
And it's maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Ohh, I'm free
(chorus)
D A G
If I can't find the warmth in my summer
D A G A
And I can't find the light in my day
D A G F#m E
I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away
B A
You make me feel so strange
D-A-G-D-A-G
(verse)
Won't you let me breathe the air
I want to hold on to right now
Won't you let me read a book about
Someone's queen who came back for me
(verse)
I see bridges in my eyes
I see mornings left for the children
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away
And it makes me scream and I pray
(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so
G D
It can never end 'cause we don't speak
G D D/C
It will never just die
G A
So why don't you call the man
G A
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride
(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away
You make me feel so strange
(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away

In a voice filled with pain

Where you going young man

Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land

She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them

Seen a million places

And I wonder who will walk with me
(repeat intro)
When I get to Heaven
He said "Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won't talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it's you they hate
It's you...
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there
(solo)
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
(guitar out, piano/bass do the B/A/E)
When I get there
(stab chords on offbeat)
See this woman sitting next to me
She's been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she's mine
And when I leave this world
She won't have anything
But her love for me
'Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Won't you let her be
(guitar back full)
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
Seen a million mothers
Seen a million mothers cryin'
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there
When I get to Heaven

Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why

Fool By Hootie and the Blowfish
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
(Corrected by mcallist@dcs.gla.ac.uk Grant McAllister)
Intro: G-D (with riff A, two times)
(verse)
G (**)
Saw you last night
Fmaj7
You were sleeping in my mind
G Fmaj7
Doubting you'll ever be free again
G
Then I climbed back inside
Fmaj7
Someone open my eyes
G
To find me drunk again
Fmaj7
Bonnie on the radio, and she was singing low
G (add Riff B)
"Give it up or let me go"
G
Every night there is one more
Fmaj7
Every night there is two more
G
Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain
Fmaj7
I think I better grow up now or go insane
(chorus)
C D
There's so much I feel
G D/F# Em
So much I conceal
C D
There's just so many things I can be
(verse)
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I don't want to go back on the road now
(chorus twice)
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces I can read
C D
There's just so many things I can be

And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely
(Rest of song continues with same chord progression)
Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.
It wasn't you so I let her in
Just to see what she wanted
She left screaming because I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call
And we finished our game
Alright now
Some days I breathe
Some days I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with time when I'm lonely
Shep plays piano down in
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasn't your type
But you went anyway
You left screamin' cause you thought you would
Call him by my name
Ah and you whisper
Why do I do this
I can't go through this why do I do this, why
Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with life when I'm lonely
