I tabbed this using the two Youtube videos of this song.
Kinda hard to see what chords he's playing at different
times during the videos. Any help will be appreciated

Capo 3


            Em                           C
You've been picking up this empty house washing your hands clean
         G                        D 
Of everything that has to do with me
  Em                                   C
Except for the pillow and the sheets laying in the floor next to the bed
G                   D
That never got any sleep
         Em                                C                  D
You can still feel last night inside your heart was breaking open wide

         C
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you even though I should
      Em
You listen to me when I tell you
   D 
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
      G                 D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D              G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave

            Em                                C 
I've been making a mess of what you gave me watching the exit signs
            G                               D
As they fly by they're keeping me from the truth
           Em                            C
Because I left an empty suitcase full promises I could never keep
G                      D
That's more than I can do
           Em                                C               D
And I can still hear the sound of your voice We both know I don't have a choice

         C 
I can't stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you even though I should
 Em
Listen to me when I tell you
   D
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
     G                  D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D               G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave

     Em             D
You have to let me go for now
Em                                    C     D
But hold on tight girl and I'll come back around

          C
And I'll stay with you as long as you want me
 G
Stay with you cause you know I should
     Em
You listen to me when I tell you
   D
I said some things you misunderstood
     C
You know that I don't want to hurt you
     G                  D
I'm trying to make you see
           C             D               G
I'll only stay with you long enough to leave
                 C             D               G
Yeah, I'll only stay with you long enough to leave

I did the same thing you did with youtube. I was about to post this and saw that you did it. I was glad to see I got everything the same as you except for two parts: On the last line of the chorus I had a D chord over the word "long" and in the bridge I have it starting with Em instead of C. I hope that was helpful. -elije \| 8/9/2008
I actually left the D off the chorus by mistake but will fix it. In the bridge, I think the Em does fit better and will change it. Thanks for helping me with this one. Now if I could just get the tab for Amber. -plowboy \| 8/14/2008
I am very new to guitar and kind need someone to hold my hand. Does anyone know the strum pattern for this song? Thanks, it's much appreciated! -demasi \| 10/22/2008
