Hey there guys and gals.
This here is one of my favourite Matchbox Twenty songs.
I just thought I'd touch up a couple of things for this tab.
This is how I play it, and I think it sounds pretty schweet. Plus, it's nice
and easy for those of you out who are just beginning your guitar journeys.
For any feedback, drop me a comment or a message.
Otherwise, enjoy playing a great song. :)
