Song: If You're Gone
Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Tabbed by: Jon Aleman


 This song is very interesting the way that it's played, but I think that I've finally
gotten it down pat. It's played in 2 parts, either one played by itself sounds fine and
the 2 played together sounds pretty awesome. The first part is played in standard tuning
and is pretty much used through the entire song. The second part is played on an acoustic
guitar with a capo on the seventh (that's right... 7th) fret. This part plays all of the
riffs and during the chorus. So all of the riffs dictated are done with the capoed guitar
and during the chorus and such using the capoed guitar will be dictated putting the chords
in (parenetheses) above the standard chord. It gets kind of confusing but just follow the
progression and you'll get it.

VERSE 2 (Same chord progression as verse 1)


I bet you're hard to get over, I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here, and I bet you need more than you mind
And I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life I think I'm just scared
That I know too much, I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling


CHORUS (Same as before)

only difference:


		    Bm      E
...and everything in...... you

Do I talk too much? I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone, then maybe it's time to come home

And everything in...... you
					   	    (D5)
Bm	    E		     Bm		    E	     A
Something in me, everything in. Something in me, in you.





That's the whole of it. Again you can use either of the tabs and it should
work, though it sounds really cool when the 2 are done together as in the song. Don't forget
that the stuff in parentheses has a capo in the 7th fret.
