Standard Tuning
Listen to the song for the rhythm.
The part after the solo is overdriven, but sounds good either way.
See bottom for the two marked parts.
I recommend playing Cadd9 as:
e|-3-|
B|-3-|
G|-0-|
D|-2-|
A|-3-|
E|-x-|


G
Now maybe
Em                         D
I didn't mean to treat you bad
Cadd9 
But I did it anyway
G 
And now maybe 
Em                           D
Some would say your life was sad 
Cadd9
But you lived it anyway 
G
And so maybe 
Em                                            D
Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble 
Cadd9
As you falter to the ground
G 
And then someday 
Em                                          D
Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin' 
Cadd9
Oh you were flyin' oh so high 
G                                   Em                          
But then someday people look at you for what they call their own 
               D
They watch you suffer 
Cadd9
Yeah they hear you calling home 
G
But then some day we could take our time 
Em                                   D
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us 
Cadd9
But you left me far behind 

G
Now maybe 
Em                               D
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad 
Cadd9
But I did it anyway 
G         Em                                       D
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had 
Cadd9
But you couldn't share the pain
G
No, no, no 
Em                       D                      
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer
Cadd9
Mmm hmmm 
G         Em                       D
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
Cadd9 
But I live with what I've known 
G              Em
And then maybe we might share in something great
D 
But won't you look at where we've grown
Cadd9
Won't you look at where we've gone
G                                     Em                             D
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind 
Cadd9
As you trip the final line
G 
And that cold day when you lost control 
Em                             D
Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
Cadd9 
But you left me far behind 
G         Em                               D
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad 
Cadd9
But I did it anyway 
G         Em                                       D
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had 
Cadd9
But you couldn't share the pain no, no, no 

(solo)

[Oh no, Oh no no no no... Oh my lord,
See I know, See I know]*

G                       Em                               D
But maybe, I said maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad 
Cadd9
But I did it anyway 
G                Em                              D
Sayin' now maybe some would say you're left with what you had 
Cadd9
But you couldn't share the pain
G                         Em
I said times have changed your friends 
                        D       
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
Cadd9          G
They watch you suffer 

Yeah, they hold you down hold you down 
Em
Now maybe brother, maybe love
                 D 
I didn't mean to treat you bad 
    Cadd9
But you left me far behind 

Left me far behind
            G 
Left me far behind

* During this I kind of lost track, plus if you're doing this song alone I don't 
find this part really necassary.If you feel it is, listen to the song and find out for yourself.
