meaning strum it five times
Alternative method is to just follow the progression G, Em and C
chorus:
-------
Basically the progression is: G, A7, C, Em, G
However from Em to G this is how I play it:
Em Em7 G
E ------0-----0-----0---0---0-----3------------------------------------
B ------0-----3-----3---3---3-----0------------------------------------
G ------0-----0-----0---0---0-----0------------------------------------
D ------2-----2-----2---2---2-----0------------------------------------

E ------0-----0-----0---0---0-----3------------------------------------
lyrics:

G Em
Jaimme's got a girl
G Em
don't think things gonna be the same
G Em
he ain't coming out and drinking tonight
Cadd9 Cma7 Cadd9
I think he's gonna change his name
he can't work it out
he ain't punching walls anymore
I ain't gonna wake up now
and find you on my floor
G
game's a game
A7
don't wanna be the same
C
but you sure ain't like you were yesterday
Em Em7 G
just go on and try ... yeah .....
and if it's true
it just ain't my place to say
but you sure ain't like you were yesterday
just go on and try ... yeah .....
fortune sounds dead
pocket sure feels tight
things I promised not to do with you today
sure need to deny
it's all working out
just like they said it would be
you ain't gonna fall on my floor
now on it's just sweet dreams

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official YOU AM I tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
