"The best thing you never had"
From the album "Letters (2004)"
Tabbed by Etni3s.
Tuning: DADGAD
Comment:
--------
Big shout out to Balta for his live version tab. Without it I would have
never gotten this right. Well.. I think it's fair to say that this is
pretty much a re-write of his tab. This is the album version by the way.
Have fun! Now grab your guitar and rock out!
Update note:
Changed it to DADGAD tuning and changed the chords a bit.

Hello, how ya doin'
Dmaj7 G
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem?
Let me blow off some steam
D Dmaj7
For five years I waited so why am I jaded
G
To get back at you? What makes it cool when
CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
G D
You act like nothing ever happened
G D
I feel like I should feel bad

But I can't like

The best thing that you never had
VERSE 2-------------------------------------------------------------------
D
And it seems like I'm lost
Dmaj7
Somehow my heart got lost

On the way to my head and my brain cells are dead

now I start to go when the green turns to red
and I should be dead when

You were the one who
