          Here is one of the best songs off of Maroon.  It's really fun to play, too; very up-tempo.   
          This is also my first tab, so I would greatly appreciate some feedback.  Thanks!

                      G          Cadd9
          Instead of whining and moaning,
               G           Cadd9          G             Cadd9
          Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home

          If you need her, you should be there
              G   Cadd9   G

                   G             Cadd9
          And your heartbeat is rushed
                   G           Cadd9           G            Cadd9
