It opens on a C chord, and it walks 
down to a to a C with a B bass note, 
and then to an open a string with an 
A-minor chord. You hit the the A-string 
once and pick downward in whatever way 
feels right. But the important thing is 
the walk-down of the C bass note, to the 
B, to the open A. Got it? 


C      C/B           Am
Just because I don't say anything
        F   G
Doesn't mean I don't like you
C           C/B         Am
I opened my mouth and I tried and I tried
F      G          Am
But no words came out

C          C/B       Am
Without 40 ounces of social skills
            F          G           Am
I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity
F     G          Am        F
I'm just a huge manitee
G        Am
A huge manitee

C           C/B            Am
I tried to ask you to your face
F      G          Am
But no words came out.
C           C/B       Am

That doosn't mean I don't like you.

If you want you can also play it in the key of G. 
Instead of playing C, down to C/B to A minor, you 
can start on a G, and walk the low E-String down 
to an F#, and then play an E minor instead of an
 A minor. Then instead of F, G, Am, it would be C, D, Em. Cool? 

That's it. I love this song, and I was shocked to 
find that there are no tabs for it anywhere. So 
here you go. If you want to hear my music go to 
Myspace.com/redseamen or just search for Love the Innocent.
