STANDARD TUNING with open d ( E A D G B d )
CAPO ON 1ST FRET
CHORDS : Em - 022030 D - xx0230 C9 - x32030
G - 320030 G/B - x20030
*** We all know The Goo Goo Dolls used a weird alternate tuning of D# A# D# G# G#
d# for this song--something which is tedious to do & very time-consuming. You
might also break a couple of strings in the process. In short, it's a headache to
play! So I came up with this tab to make our lives a whole lot easier. Just drop
the 1st (e) string to D and you're good to go.
If you love the song so much but too lazy to dabble with the machine heads then I
guess you should opt for my version.
INTRO : 2x

VERSE :
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel?
(C9)
I'll give you anythin'
To feel it coming'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
(C9)
You live with all your faults.

CHORUS 1 : E-----------------------|
So why don't you slide.
(D)
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide.
VERSE :
Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone,
(C9)
Your father hit the wall,
Your ma disowned you.
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man.
It's somethin' that i can't change,
I'll live around it.
PRE-CHORUS 2 :
C9 (pause)

So why don't you slide.
(D)
Mmmm, slide.
BRIDGE :
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete,
Little pieces of nothin' that fall.
Oh May, put your arms around me.
What you feel is what you are,
And what you are is beautiful.
Oh May, do you wanna get married or run away?
INSTRUMENTAL :
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete,
Little pieces of nothin' that fall.
Oh May, put your arms around me.
What you feel is what you are,
And what you are is beautiful.
Oh May, do you wanna get married or run away?
PRE-CHORUS 3 :
*Riff 1
I wanna wake up where you are.
*Riff 1
I won't say anything at all.
D (break)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete,
Little pieces of nothin' that fall.
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete,
Little pieces of nothing that fall.
Oh oh oh, slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew.
Why don't you slide into my room.
Just slide into my room.
*OUTRO
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away.___
