Tabbed by Drew Smajda
Great song, one of my favorites, finally tabbed!
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
B (x2444x) Am7 (x02013)
F#m (244222) D* (x54035)
Em7 (022030) G* (3x0002)
A7 (x02020) F#* (244300)
E* (054032)
Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I've
heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down
one note to play along to the CD.
VERSE 1:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
CHORUS: [see tab below]
-------
E* A7
Some, may say
E* Am7
I love, to play
D* G* F#*
When the chance is there to take
CHORUS-TAB:
-----------
E* A7 E* Am7
E|---------------------------------------2--------------3--
B|--------3--------------2---------------3------------1-1--
G|------0--------------0---------------0------------0------
D|----4--------0-----2---------------4---------------------

B-----------3-3---------------0-------------0-0-|
G--------------------------------------3-3--3-3-| <- strum that chord
D---------4--------4------0---------4--4-4--4-4-| a few more times
A-0---3/5----------5----------------4--4-4--4-4-|
E-----------------------3-----------2--2-2--2-2-|
[the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it
might have some tiny variations, but I don't wanna bother to tab them out, it's basically the same.]
VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
--------
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
-------
Some, may say
I love, to let
a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
GUITAR-SOLO:

B F#m Em7 A7

B|-----------------------------------------------
G|-----------------------------------------------
D|-1---1-2-4------------------------------------- h = hammer-on

BRIDGE:
-------
B F#m Em7 A7
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
B F#m Em7 A7
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
[PLAY CHORUS-TAB ONCE]
VERSE 4:
--------
B F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7 A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B F#m
When I was carrying you
Em7 A7
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen

The tuning is down a half step.

This song is one of my favorites from Smash Mouth and I can't seem to find another tab thats correct lol. Goog job.

Hey, I just wanna say that I've been playing for 25 years and guitar tab is often TOTALLY WRONG. But you nailed this, and this song has some weird chords that are very unusual. I tip my hat to you Drew Smajda, and of course Greg Camp who is the awesome guitarist who wrote this baddass song!
