Band: Uncle Kracker
Correction Tabbed By: Nathan Cox (bignate1987@hotmail.com)
First Tabbed By: Jason Bauer (jbauer33@hotmail.com)
This song is at near perfection. It is almost exactly right. But, if you
can somehow find something wrong with this tab, (which I doubt) then
e-mail me with the correction at bignate1987@hotmail.com. Happy Bassing!
No bass during the intro, first verse or first chorus. Bass comes in
during verse 2 (45 seconds)

| There are more types of drugs than the kind that mess you up physically. He's not talking about drugs, he's telling her that he is her drug... he gets her high, he swims through her veins. He makes her free when he's there. While yes, it sounds like a blatent drug refrence, and yes every other song he's done has refrenced drugs as his addiction (Uncle Kracker IS an admitted drug addict for those of us keeping track...), the refrence in this song, according to Uncle Kracker himself on a VH1 interview (What, you mean the artist actually has a story behing the lyrics?? Well damn that takes all the fun outta this...) is about a woman's affair. Kracker says, and this is a quote, "It was all about a woman who got so wrapped up in this guy she couldn't see straight. The guy was like 'hey, I ain't complainin', but this is how it is and either you accept it or you don't' know what I'm sayin'??" Not a nice song, not a bad song, just a good song. Don't overanalyze the thing because the meaning of it doesn't make you appreciate it more. Have a Nice Day! | |

| This song is really awesome, if you have a pussy, which any guy who has seriously commented on this song surely has. i think this song is about how the african race has been opressed for just long enough, NIGGERZ RULE!!!! LOOK UP FUCKER | |

| swimming through someone's veins is just a euphemism for just ... being an incredible PART of someone, to the point that one person is nearly as necessary as blood circulating. so, yeah, this song is definitely not about drugs. it's a fabulous song. I really love it. it's catchy and just makes me feel good, even if it's not particularly happy. it's about being bound to someone, needing someone for some inexplicable reason. | |

| i think what the commenting slag is trying to say is: this is a dark dark song, cast in the devil's own forge and infused with death and evil. the winsome singer of this song might seem happy. he might tell you that "everything is alright", and that he'll be "the one to tuck you in at night". may i say - hah! for behind this jaunty rhyme is a subtle yet oh-so-sinister subtext. mr. kracker is in fact an agent of dark forces we cannot hope to comprehend, hence the opening line, "you don't know how you met me". but need you know this at all? his name says it all; he would like nothing better than to krack you in his kavernous klaws. "i'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear", he pleads, "cause as long as no one knows then nobody can care". oh poor fool! as you can see, your rapid descent into the fiery pits of hell will be a lonely journey. "you're better off if you don't ask why ", he advises, further masking the full horror of his diabolical plans. beware this man. he will woo you with his flirtatious devil-music, and will scream "follow me" until he has led you to the abyss sir slag so succinctly prophecised. tread with care. | |

| I never thought this song could be about drugs- it doesn't seem like it becasue of the song's style, but I guess It's a possiblity after reading your comment- jerri9212. i think it's a pretty cool song, but i don't think it's exactly that romantic | |
