Song: 'Figured You Out'
Artist: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road (Roadrunner)
Bassist: Mike Kroeger
Tabbed By: JeffDiablo (JeffDiablo@brandedsoul.com)
Tuning: Standard 5-string (BEADG low-to-high)
Performance Notes
The muted strings under the pre-chorus are very hard to hear and Mike may not play them
at all. The first two measures of the chorus could be played in the first position on the
A and E strings but this sounds much fuller and makes getting the Eb passing tone easier.
The middle break is heavily palm muted.

| Anyone who doesn't like nickelback, why the hell are you even on this page??!! You suck!!!!!!!!!!! Nickelback rocks! They're one of the precious few bands now who actually write their own songs, play their own instruments, and don't lip synch (*cough* Ashlee Simpson *cough*) Their lyrics actually mean something. Anyway get on a band's site that you like and talk about how good you think they are. What do all you good music haters do for a living? Where you have time to write in about how much you hate a band? Get a life! Do you just go to all of the bands pages that you hate and write comments just to piss people off? Frick off! | |

| I think that this song is kind of about Chad Kroger putting himself in the shoes of Jesus. Cuz he does kind of look Jesus, and obviously he likes all the wrong things about this gurrl, just like Jesus did! I love Nickelback...they rock, even more than Creed. I'm going to go pray for this giurrl, and then eat some ice cream, cuz i'm sad :( | |

| Updated Lyrics I like your pants around your feet I like the dirt that's on your knees I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease I love the places that we go I love the people that you know I love the way you can't say no Too many long nights in a row I love the powder on your nose And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out Now I did You wonder why I like the freckles on your chest I love the way you love me best I like the way your not impressed While you put me to the test I love the whine stains on your dress I love the way you pass the check I love the good times that you wreck I love your lack of self-respect While you're passed out on the deck I love my hands around your neck And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out Now I did You wonder why (?) You never try Gone for good This is it I like your pants around your feet I like the dirt that's on your knees I like the way you still say please While you're looking up at me You're like my favorite damn disease I hate the places that we go I hate the people that you know I love the way you can't say no To many long nights in a row I love the powder on your nose And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just thought I'd figured you out Now I did You wonder why And now I know who you are It wasn't that I Just figured you out Now I did You wonder why (?) You never try Gone for good This is it | |
