Version 1 Version 2Standard Tuning Listen to the song for the rhythm. The part after the solo is overdriven, but sounds good either way. See bottom for the two marked parts. I recommend playing Cadd9 as: e|-3-| B|-3-| G|-0-| D|-2-| A|-3-| E|-x-| [Verses] G Now maybe Em D I didn't mean to treat you bad Cadd9 But I did it anyway G And now maybe Em D Some would say your life was sad Cadd9 But you lived it anyway G And so maybe Em D Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble Cadd9 As you falter to the ground G And then someday Em D Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin' Cadd9 Oh you were flyin' oh so high G Em But then someday people look at you for what they call their own D They watch you suffer Cadd9 Yeah they hear you calling home G But then some day we could take our time Em D To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us Cadd9 But you left me far behind G Now maybe Em D I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad Cadd9 But I did it anyway G Em D Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had Cadd9 But you couldn't share the pain G No, no, no Em D Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer Cadd9 Mmm hmmm G Em D Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes Cadd9 But I live with what I've known G Em And then maybe we might share in something great D But won't you look at where we've grown Cadd9 Won't you look at where we've gone G Em D But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind Cadd9 As you trip the final line G And that cold day when you lost control Em D Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me Cadd9 But you left me far behind G Em D Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad Cadd9 But I did it anyway G Em D Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had Cadd9 But you couldn't share the pain no, no, no (solo) [Oh no, Oh no no no no... Oh my lord, See I know, See I know]* G Em D But maybe, I said maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad Cadd9 But I did it anyway G Em D Sayin' now maybe some would say you're left with what you had Cadd9 But you couldn't share the pain G Em I said times have changed your friends D They come and watch you crumble to the ground Cadd9 G They watch you suffer Yeah, they hold you down hold you down Em Now maybe brother, maybe love D I didn't mean to treat you bad Cadd9 But you left me far behind Left me far behind G Left me far behind * During this I kind of lost track, plus if you're doing this song alone I don't find this part really necassary.If you feel it is, listen to the song and find out for yourself.
