Matchbox Twenty
Busted (Acoustic)


Busted (Acoustic version)
by matchbox20

 Alright, this is from a live version that can be
 found
 on some of the foreign singles for "Push". An
 electric
 version is also on the "Yourself or someone like
 you"
 cd. I didn't see it tabbed yet so I figured I'd go
 ahead and put it on here...

 While another guitar plays:
 Em G D Cadd9 (start after first bend)
 
 verse:
 Em
 I forget when words were only words she knows the
 party makes me nervous
 in this stage we can’t get hurt don’t try to
 understand me
 C                      D
 we’re too cool to be alone but, not too crazy to get
 
 E*
 busted
 Em
 I found out one life just ain’t enough I need
 another
 soul to feed on I’m the 
 flame I can’t get burnt I’m wholly understated
 C                            D
 'til I found silence in this space an on and off
 again
 
   E*
 attraction
 C                   D
 I need such amazing grace heaven sweep me away 
 
 (chorus) 
      Em
 love don’t...don't change, don’t 
 G                      D                     Cadd9
 come around here don’t wear my heart on your sleeve 
                    Em                       G
 like a high school letter don’t strain, cuz nothing 
                            D
 ever comes from it and the people we’ve 
                      Cadd9                        Em
 become, well they’ve never been the people who we
 are
 
 G D C
 
 Em
 I strapped on one horse and prayed for luck I dug
 another
 hole to bleed I 
 know exactly how this works I need a new feel dirty
 C                             D
 Don’t need you crowding up my space I just want to
 get
 
   E*
 inside you 
 C                             D
 you can’t blame the heart you save giving something
 away 
 (chorus)x2 
 Em
 I dreamed 
 that the world was crumbling down we sat on my back 
           C*
 porch and watched it 
 Em
 I dreamed that the buildings all fell down we sat on
 
                   C*
 my back porch and watched it
           Em                                    G
 Yeah well I dreamed that the world was crumblin down
                             D
 we sat on my back porch and watched it in my head I 
           C                  D
 heard the sound like fifteen strangers dancing
 Em (strum once)
 but oh how I want you to know me 
 G (strum once)
 oh how I want you to know me 
 D (strum once)      ^(start fading back in)
 oh how I wish I was somebody else, 
      C                       D
 baby oh how I wish you could own, oh well (chorus)
 
 Well I think that's about all of it. Long live Rob
 Thomas!!!!!!
