SongTitle: Wounded

Tabs: This is my absolute favorite song off of 3eb's latest release 
"Blue".  I've been working on this song for a long time, and I think I 
pretty much have it.  This is in an open tuning, so I'm sure that there 
are plenty of ways to play some of the chords, and this is the way that I 
think sounds the best. If you dont like my way, be inventive and find a 
chord that is better than mine! Don't really go by the number of strums 
in the chord, but go by the actual chord and get the strumming pattern 
yourself. If ya have any questions or suggestions, e-mail me at 
DaMuZikBoi@aol.com! Enjoy!

The guy who put his hands on you 
Has got nothing to do with me
And the bruises that you feel will heal
And I hope you come around
Cuz we're missing you

You used to speak so easy
Now you're afraid to talk to me
It's like walking with the wounded

Carrying that weight way too far
Concrete pulled ya down so hard
Out there with the wounded
We're missing you

Verse 2 (play riff 1x):
Well I never claimed to understand what happens after dark
But my fingers catch those sparks at the thought of
Touching you
When you're wounded

Well let me break it down till I force the issue
We miss your face, ya know I wish you 
Would come back down to the Dalva Bar, you tell em
"That's just my battle scar!"
I wanna kiss you, and knock em down like we used to
You're the marigold
Till you're walkin down shakin that a** again 
And then you walk on baby walk on walk on (on and on)
You're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
And we're missing you

Verse x3 (clean):
Now it's fall, and your shoulders get tighter
Nervous flicks on the lighter, boots
Your pissed off poets, your womens groups
And the friends with you, we should have known this fool
Well I guess we missed the mark
Still my fingers catch those sparks at the thought of
Touching you 
Now you're wounded

*Then, Play Chorus riff here x6 (with distortion)* 

Lemme break it down till i force the issue
You never come around and you know we miss you
Well nobody took your pride away
That's something people say
Back down the bully to the back of the bus
Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
Till you're yellin, how we living cause you got the ball
Then you rock on baby rock on you rock on (on and on)
You're a summertime hottie with her socks in the air
Screamin, "I don't care baby, I don't care! NOOOO!"

You say you don't know, You say you can't grow
(You're the marigold)
All I know is we're missing you, you   x2
