If you listen closely to the track, you can hear that there are several guitars playing during the 

intro and verses...the signature riff of this song. There's a rehearsal clip on keithurban.net that 

shows Keith and band practicing this riff. Keith is playing with palm muting and the riff seems to 

change from one part of the video to the next which leads me to believe he played serveral guitar 

parts during these sections. The Intro I tabbed is what I hear as the main guitar. The Alt Intro 

is if you just want to get into a groove...the pattern is a bit different under the A chord.


Standard tuning, Capo 1. Notation relative to capo...if this is confusing, 
just add 1 to everything noted. :)

Verse 1
        Bm  G  D                 A
I can't sleep, ain't no sleep a' comin' 

         Bm         G             D    A
I'm just lying here thinkin' bout you

       Bm  G         D             A
I'm in deep, fallin' deep into the picture

      Bm           G              D     A
In my mind of everything we're gonna do

Bm          G        D           A
Over at the lake and down by the river
 
                         (Lick 1)
        Bm      G        D     
you can feel it start to rise

      Bm         G      D            A
Wanna jump in my car go wherever you are 

        Bm       G     A.......A-A
cause I need you by my side

          A                        Bm  A
With your feet up on the dashboard now

         G                 D                        A     (Lick 2)
Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound

         G                  D                   A                          Bm
When you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out

    G/F# G              G/F# G
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind

G/F# G                       Bm  G  D  A                Bm  G  D  A 
Just waiting on the sun to go down,        the sun to go down

Verse 2
        Bm     G D          A
I wanna see your brown skin shimmer 

                    (Lick 4) 
       Bm          G     D     A
in the sun for the first time

         Bm   G D             A
I try to be the one who knows just what 

                                 (Lick 5)
   Bm           G           D    A
to do to you to get me that smile

Bm            G        D           A
One chance of meeting, you walking by me 

                          (Lick 1)
       Bm         G       D   
on the street and I said "hi"

    Bm             G          D         A
And that was the beginning of my heart spinnin' 

           Bm           G    A
like these wheels in my head tonight

Chorus 2
                G                D 
It's gonna be a long hot summer, we should together

With your feet up on the dashboard now

         G                 D                        A      (Lick 2)
Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound

         G                  D                   A                          Bm
When you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out

    G/F# G              G/F# G
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind

G/F# G                       Bm  G  D  A                 Bm  G  D  A 
Just waiting on the sun to go down,         the sun to go down

Bridge
    C                 Em         A          (Lick 2)     
The only place that I wanna be is where you are 

C                     G                 Em          
Cause any more than a heartbeat away is just too far,

All I really want is more than this moment right now

               G                  D                   A                          Bm
Cause when you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out

    G/F# G                 G/F# G
And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes

G/F# G                       G/F# G                     Bm  G  D  A

Do you happen to have the url for the clip on keithurban.net. I visited the website and can't seem to find it. I'm glad you talked about the two guitar parts. I was going crazy trying to figure the intro note for note. It sounded like two guitars to me when I listened first focusing on the higher notes and then following up by focusing on the lower notes. I thought I was crazy.

I was referring to the CD when hearing 2 guitar parts...he doesn't actually play them both in the clip but it's good to watch.

Here's the clip from FB.
