Matchbox Twenty (auparavant Matchbox 20) est un groupe de rock américain originaire d'Orlando en Floride  et qui a vendu plus de 39 millions d'albums dans le monde. Les membres actuels sont Rob Thomas (chant, piano), Kyle Cook (guitare), Paul Doucette (batterie) et Brian Yale (basse); Adam Gaynor (guitare rythmique) ayant quitté le groupe en 2005. Thomas, Yale et Doucette jouaient dans un groupe local Tabitha's secret.

El productor Matt Serletic, recién habiendo terminado de ayudar en convertir a &quot;Shine&quot; de Collective Soul en una pieza imprescindible para MTV, conoció un tipo llamado Rob Thomas, un escritor habilidoso de Orlando que estaba buscando un lugar. Serletic y Thomas probaron músicos en busca de un par de personas que podían apoyar la obvia habilidad de Thomas de escribir buena música de pop. Thomas, nacido en Alemania como hijo de militares, ya había tocado con el baterista Paul Doucette y el bajista Brain Yale en varias bandas locales.

Strumming: down up, Up down up, Up down up, and so on..

INTRO: C G Am F

VERSE ONE:

C                                            G
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
                                                Am
But its feeling just like every other morning before,
                                                   F
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,

C                                                  G
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
                                                    Am
Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
                                              F
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?


CHORUS:
Am                                        F
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

C
Let's see how far we've come
G

VERSE TWO:

C                                                G
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
                                            Am
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
                                     F
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself

I started running but there's no where to run to

C                                             G
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
                                                          Am
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell

Say your goodbyes if you got someone you can
F
Say goodbye to

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Am
Gone, gone baby, it's all gone
There's no one in the corner
And there's nobody home
Well it was cool, cool
It was just all cool
Now it's over for me
And it's over for you
G

Bass and drums vamp, with a little lead guitar and piano that are low in the mix. The 
guitar interjects occasionally with some staccato strums of the Am and possibly a C/Am. 
it builds up to the stop, the last chord is a G.

LAST CHORUS:

Am                                        F
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

C
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

Am                                       F
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
F
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,

C
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

How Far We've Come

D   E      A          F#m
All day staring at the ceiling
       D            E            F#m
Making friends with shadows on my wall
D   E      A          F#m       
All night hearing voices telling me
     D
That I should get some sleep
E
Because tomorrow might be good for something


C#m  D
Hold on
A                E           C#m   D
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
A                E
And I don't know why

# Chorus

A                                    D
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
           D
I know right now you can't tell
F#m                                   E
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me
A                                D
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
             D
I know right now you don't care
F#m                                   E
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
                  D    E
And how I used to be...me


    A            F#m        
I'm talking to myself in public
D      E             F#m
Dodging glances on the train
D     E                   A                F#m
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
D
I can hear them whisper
       E                                     C#m         D
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
A              E
Out of all the hours thinking
C#m   D  A           E
Somehow I've lost my mind

# Chorus


A                                    D
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
           D
I know right now you can't tell
F#m                                   E
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me
A                                D
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
             D
I know right now you don't care
F#m                                   E
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
                  D    
And how I used to be
                  


F#m                     D
I've been talking in my sleep
F#m                         D  
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
F#m                     E
Yeah, they're taking me away

# Chorus

A                                    D
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
           D
I know right now you can't tell
F#m                                   E
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I know right now you don't care

But soon enough you're gonna think of me
                  D    
And how I used to be


A                  D
Yeah, how I used to be
F#m           E 
How I used to be
A                      D
Well, I'm just a little unwell
F#m            E
How I used to be

you're breaking me in

And all her clothes are on the floor, and all your records are scratched
C                                    G               F

But she's so mean

Verse
C                          G              F

             C        G  F
She'll freak out
C                        G
You better get your shit together
          F             C
Cause shes bringing you down, now

Shes a hardcore, candy-store, give-me-some-more girl,     girl
C                                       G                F
Shes got a wicked sense of humor, can't believe what she says
C                                         G           F
She drinks Bacardi in the morning till it goes to her head
C                                             G            F
And all you want is just to hold her, but she don't go for that
C                                   G         F
She has a hard time coming when she cant hit back

Bridge
Am                                                 C
Every now and then she makes you just a little bit crazy
Am                                                               F

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)
G                D
You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)

G              D
We don't even know why, no no

We don't even know why, no no no

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
