Tab by Joe Costello (joseph.costello@villanova.edu)

The other tab of this is close, but the intro is wrong.
I've tabbed the main riffs here, but I haven't tabbed any of the 
lead guitar fills late in the song.

In my opinion, this is the best song Everclear has ever written...

Intro:

E|----6h7-----------------------------6h7----------------------|

Chorus: Can be played either with bar or power chords, it doesn't matter...
        Also, the strumming pattern is different for each chorus.

      G#	   C#               A	     E

           "I...        can't...          smile...."

     P.M...........................................
    "Now I live alone, and you're so far away..."

After the bridge, it goes to the chorus. The riffs above are all the riffs
that are used in the song. I didn't tab or figure out any of the lead guitar
fills over the last verse/chorus, cause they can be improvised.

E-mail me with any comments, questions, etc...

Joe.
