This song sounds good both picked and fingered. I play it picked with my tone 
around a 3 or 4. Anyway..heres the tab. 

*=listen to cd for how long to play, I'm too lazy to write numbers too many times 
h=hammer(If you don't know what that is you dont deserve to play Saves the Day) 
^=let note ring with note you hit after it 
#=pause(silence) 
~ = let note ring. 

Listen at just about where Chris is done saying "I'll 
carry this piece of you with me" for when drum and bass come in. 
Bass does this. 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------4-3----------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

This is the first verse. 
G|----------------------------------------Vnot a hammer!-------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------6-5---------------------------------| 
A|--------4h3-4*-4h3----3h4-6*---------------------------------------------| 
E|--1*---------------4*----------------------------------------------------| 

G|---------6---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|--3*-3-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-------------4*-4h3----3h4-6*--4-3---------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------4*---------------------------------------------------| 

You come to this mellower part. I like playing this part 
because the bass really sticks out. Make sure you listen 
to this CD at this part cuz it is really confusing just looking at it. 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------3-44-33-11-22-----66-44-3-4-66-44-33-11----------------------------| 
E|--1*----------------44---------------------------------------------------| 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------3-44-33-11-22-----66-44-3-4-66-44-33-44----------------------------| 
E|--1*----------------44---------------------------------------------------| 

Which takes you to the second verse, alot like the first but longer 
and different at the end. 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------6-5---------------------------------| 
A|--------4h3-4*-4h3----3h4-6*---------------------------------------------| 
E|--1*---------------4*----------------------------------------------------| 

G|---------6---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|--3*--3------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------6---------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|--3*--3------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-------------4*-4h3----3h4-6*--6-5---------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------4*---------------------------------------------------| 

G|---------6-----------------------------------8^--------------------------| 
D|--3*--3----------------------------55-66---8-----------------------------| 
A|-------------4*-4h3----3h4-66--------------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------4*---------------------------------------------------| 

Then you break into the best part, the chorus. 
This lines alot like the one in the mellower part 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------8^-------------| 
A|-------------44-33-11-33-----66-44-33---6666^-666------------------------| 
E|-1h3-1#-------------------44---------------------------------------------| 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----3-----3-------------------------------------------------------------|

A|------------------44-33-11-33----66-44-33---6~ -------4-3----------------| 
E|-11---11----------------------44-----------------------------------------| 

Verse 3, this is exactly like verse 2 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------6-5---------------------------------| 
A|--------4h3-4*-4h3----3h4-6*---------------------------------------------| 
E|--1*---------------4*----------------------------------------------------| 

G|---------6---------------------------------------------------------------|

D|--3*--3----------------------------55-66---8-----------------------------| 
A|-------------4*-4h3----3h4-66--------------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------4*---------------------------------------------------| 

Chorus: This ones got one difference than the first, in the ending 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------8^------------------| 
A|-------------44-33-11-33-----66-44-33---6666^-666------------------------| 
E|-1h3-1#-------------------44---------------------------------------------| 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----3-----3-------------------------------------------------------------|

E|-11---11----------------------44-----------------------------------------| 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------8^------------------| 
A|-------------44-33-11-33-----66-44-33---6666^-666------------------------| 
E|-1h3-1#------------------44----------------------------------------------| 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----3-----3-------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------------------44-33-11-33----66-44-33---6~ --------------------------| 
E|-11---11----------------------44-----------------------------------------| 

The bass then plays this, listen closely for it 
G|---------7-888888888 (count 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1 for the 8)-----------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Outro part: 
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------3*--------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----------4*------6*----------------------------------------------------| 
E|---4*-3*-----------------------------------------------------------------| 

You play that 4 times, I get bored with this line so I throw in little things 
to jazz it up alittle. This is what I play. It all 8th notes 
G|-----------------------------------------------6----------------8--------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------6---6-3-3-3-3----8------| 
A|-------------3-4--------------6-4-3-4-4-4-4-4------------------6----6----| 
E|-4-4-4-4-4-6-----3-3-3-3-3-----------------------------------------------| 
That also you would just play four times, afte four times do this. 

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|--------3-4--------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---11--------------------------------------------------------------------|

	he loves a girl so much he hates her. the hatred probably comes from her not loving him back "But it would be all right If we could see each other sometime If I could somehow make you mine And if not I'll take my rusty spoons And dig out your blue eyes "

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#2 by Steve at Jun 23, 1977 at 7:05 PM EST
	its violent, its what we want to say, its how we're scared to feel- this song helps me beleive that its ok to be so mad/angry/upset and wish nothing but horrible things tro the person that mad eyou feel that way. but he also addresses that they are just different("you and i are like when fire and the ocean florr collide") so although the other person may be shallow/egotistical/whatever, it just wasn't meant to be

No Picture Tyrone Wanna Be	#3 by Tyrone Pinson at Feb 7, 1981 at 3:50 AM EST
	i actually disgree with you guys. i think it's in the tradition of saves the day. it's a song about how he's bitter because he can't be with her. he wants the girl, but she doesn't want him

No Picture ! Average	#4 by ! ! at Mar 23, 1981 at 12:42 PM EST
	i agree with one of the dudes above, that this song is about wanting a girl, but he can't have her.. but i can see the other view being that a girl screwed him over. i related to not being able to be with a guy, the anger helped me vent and singing along is such a good tool to get over someone and things get fucked up and it hurts.

No Picture les claypool fa Professional	#5 by les claypool fan! at May 25, 1981 at 5:07 AM EST
	Well, my favorite Saves the Day song is firefly... but this fits me so incredibly well. It fits the situation between me and this girl I have known for about 2 years. I love her, but I can't have her, she doesn't have very much self-esteem, and I sometimes hate her for it.

No Picture Oliver Average	#6 by Oliver Russ at May 3, 2000 at 8:55 PM EST
	Every time I hear this song it is just like hearing it for the first time. There is just something about it, the brutal honesty of both the lyrics and Chris's voice, it just grabs you and doesn't let go until the very last chord. I could write all day and never do justice to how great this song is. So I won't try.
