Goo Goo Dolls: Slide
Tabbed by Dave Costello
Any questions or comments you are welcome to e-mail me at Cozuk2000@yahoo.com

Now, I realise that the original recording of this song is down tuned, but I?ve found this somewhat impractical for live performances.  The following tabbed version is in standard tuning.

Em7	     D5	      D(2)	      D        Cadd9	   G	      B/D

Verse:

Em7			D5
Could you whisper in my ear,
		            Cadd9
The things you wanna feel?

I?ll give you anything to feel it coming.
Em7			D5
Do you wake up on your own
			Cadd9
And wonder where you are?

You live with all your faults.

Verse 2:

Em7			    D5
Don?t you love the life we killed?

The priest is on the phone,

Your father hit the wall,

What it means to be a man,

Something I wish to change a little round here.
