Title: Matchbox 20 - If You're Gone lyrics
intro Tab:

4x's times


 A5                      D5
   I think I've already lost you
F#5               E5       D5
   I think you're already gone
  A5                   D5
   I think I'm finally scared now
   A5            B5                              E5
   You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
  A5                       D5
   I think you're already leaving
F#5                E5              D5
   Feels like your hand is on the door
  A5                A5              D5
   I thought this place was an empire
   A5             B5                 E5
   now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

This next part you can either tab this through it or play the chords
(listen to the song as he says "I think your so mean" for the timing)
it starts as he says "mean" after "much" he ends playing all 3
1--------5----------- ......--5-- | 
2-----5------5------- ......--5-- | 
3--7----------------- ......--7-- | 

                      B5                       E5
I think you're so mean - I think we should try -
                     A5              D5
I think I could need - this in my life
    A5           B5                    E5
and I think I'm scared - I think too much
   G5
I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
              A5                             D5
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
A5                 B5
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
E5                         A5
    But I can hardly move
  A5                                             D5           A5
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home   (come home)
                          B5
    Cuz there's a little bit of something me
   E5             A5
    In everything in you

(at "in you" go back to the intro Tab. You can play the tab through all the way to "more 
you'd mind" or play the chords)

 A5                        D5
  I bet you're hard to get over
F#5           E5      D5
  I bet the room just won't shine
 A5                    D5
  I bet my hands I can stay here
  A5          B5                      E5
  I bet you need - more than you mind
