The Starting Line: Best Of Me (acoustic)
Tabbed by Fatty McButterpants
this should be right, but everyone makes mistakes. listen to the
song for rhythm. ‘feeling that we won’t, feeling that we
cant, we’re not ready to give up’ is different than the usual
chorus part, i just make it up as i go along and end that part
with x02200.
1) INTRO/CHORUS
tell me what you thought…
Play twice 2nd time end with
E|—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—|—0—
B|—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—|—0—
G|—1—2—4—4—2—2—4—4—|—2—
D|—2—2—4—2—2—2—2—4—|—2—
A|—2—0—2—4—0—0—4—2—|—0—
E|—0—x—x—x—x—x—x—x—|—x—
play twice more
2) 1ST VERSE and 2ND VERSE
1ST play once then lyrics begin at 6 0 0 part
2ND the words come right on the third time you play it
E|—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0-
B|—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—
G|-9—9—8—8—6—6—4—4—
D|———————————
A|———————————
E|———————————
this is a second and third guitar part to go
over the verses, you can do without it but if
you have a couple of guitarists it sounds good
E|—-0—-0—-0—-0—0—0—0—0-|————
B|—0—-0—-0—-0—0—0—0—0—|—9—10-9-
G|-13—13—11—11—9—9—8—8—|-9—9——
D|————————————-|————
A|————————————-|————
E|————————————-|————
but you can play the 13 and 9, 8
and 11 etc. part together this way
instead of having separate guitars
E|—0—0—0—0-
B|—9—7—5—4—
G|-9—8—6—4—

LYRICS:
1) tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
1) twice
2) here we lay again
on two seperate beds
riding phone lines
3) to hear that familiar voice
and pictures brought from memory
2) we reflect on miscomunication
and misunderstandings
3) and missing each other two
much too without you, let go
2)
4) we turn our music down
and we whisper
say what your thinking right now
1) tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
2) twice
2) jumping to conclusions
made me fall away from you
3) i’m so glad that the truth
has brought back together me and you
2)
4) we’re sitting on the ground
and we whisper
say what your thinking outloud
1) tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
1) twice
5) we turn our music down
and we whisper
we’re sitting on the ground
and we whisper
we turn our music down
we’re sitting on the ground
and next time i’m in town
we will kiss girl
we will kiss girl
1) tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont
feeling that we cant, we’re not ready to give up
1) we got older but we’re still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
