Shame

Matchbox 20
Yourself or Someone Like You
1996
Matchbox 20 is currently my favorite band. I'm not sure how it
happened, but an unknown band from Florida went from me hearing
them in the car on the way to work sometime in June to being
my favorite band in September. So here's another song off their
incredible debut album. They sang this at Fireworks as
well, and it was really good.

BRIDGE
E F#m D
We never thought we'd get so troubled
(never get this never get this bad)
E F#m D
We could never think that much
(never get this never get this bad)
E F#m D
And it should never get this bad
So let the wind blow ya across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for
Funny in a certain light how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood for you so
CHORUS 2x
Shame shouldn't try you
Couldn't step by you and open up more shame
Shame shame
strum A for end.
