Goo Goo Dolls – Iris

Music by John Rzeznik

Tab by Chan

Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBd)

Tune E to D

I’m pretty tired of dropping down to BDDDDD to play this song, so I thought I’d tab it

in an easier to get to tuning… with no popping strings (and if you DO pop one… that’s

sad).

Verse

And I’d give up forever to touch you

‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You’re the closest to Heaven that I’ll ever be

And I don’t want to go home right now

‘Cause all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later it’s over

I just don’t want to miss you tonight

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me

‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand

When everything’s meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

Verse

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t commin’

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me

‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand

When everything’s meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

*…YOU figure out the solo…*

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me

‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand

When everything’s meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

Make up a fun little ending.

By the way, don’t leave me half-assed ratings with comments that go, “Oh em ef gee!!

is wr0ng!!1one!” …especially if you don’t know what the hell an augmented third is; because if

you don’t, I recommend you go read a book instead of making music.
