Waitress - You Matter To Me Tab

This tab goes along with the original cast recording of Waitress. The lyrics will be at the bottom of each tab line, not the top. The original capo is on 2, but I sometimes play with it on 5 because it's easier to sing. The lyrics to the bridge can kinda go at any tempo. Just make sure to end the bridge on D. During the last chorus, there is overlay of lyrics between Pottamer and Jenna. I tried to make sure it all lines up, but you may want to refer back to the cast recording if you're doing a duet. To make it sound really nice, make sure to use some dynamics.Was this info helpful?

    I could find the whole     meaning of life in those   sad eyes
    They've seen things that   you never quite say but    I hear
    Come out of hiding I'm     right here beside you
    And I'll stay there as     long as you                let me

    It's addictive the           minute you let yourself   think
    The things that I say        just might matter to      someone
    All of this time I've been   keeping my mind on the    running away
    And for the first time       I think I'd               consider the stay

(SPOKEN)
Dear baby
I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight
They don't pull away, they don't look at your face
And they don't try to kiss you
All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness in it
I hope you become addicted, baby
I hope you become addicted to sayin' things
And having them matter to someone
