Rough Draft

Acoustic

-======- 

Tab by Jay Bartholomew

This song is kind of complicated 
because they use a lot of suspension
chords.  And with those they mess 
around with them too.  The tab is
accurate so follow it closely and 
listen to the song A LOT to get
it.  Also... let me know if you 
actually use this tab.  It took a
long time and I?d like to know if 
anyone even used it.  My email is

substitute
                  E           Esus
For me and all my thoughts of you

It?s eating me alive to leave you

A5             C#5               
I?m writing my own words, my own 
       D5
little stage
            E5                     
My own epic drama, my own scripted 
A5
page
                  C#5              
I?ll send you the rough draft, I?ll
              D5
 seal it with tears
             E5                   
N.C.
Maybe you?ll read it and I?ll 
reappear
A5                    C#5        
From the start it was shaky and 
              D5
the characters rash
                   E5              
A nice setting for heartache where 
              A5
emotions come last
                   C#5      
Oh, I haven?t even sought to 
                 D5
overcome this desire
              E5          
Of friendly intentions and 
                D      Dm
fare-weathered smiles

      A                 E         
And I don?t want to be, don?t want
       F#m   D
 to be wro- -ong
A              E                  
You?re leaving me, you?re leaving 
Dsus2
me in lieu of this song
A                 E               
Don?t want to be, don?t want to be
 F#m   D
 wro- -ong
A              E                  
You?re leaving me, you?re leaving

me in lieu of this, in lieu of this 
song
