This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

And even though the moment passed me by,

I still can't turn away.

I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose,

Tossed along the way.

Letters that you never meant to send,

Lost and thrown away.

Verse 2

Scars are souveneers you never lose,

The past is never far.

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?

Did you get to be a star?

Don't it make you sad to know that life,

Is more than who we are.

Chorus

Now we're grown up orphans, that never knew their names

Chorus 1

Now we're grown up orphans, that never knew their names.

We don't belong to no one, that's a shame.

You could hide beside me, maybe for a while.

And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.

Chorus 2

You grew up way too fast, and now there's nothing to believe.

And re-runs all become our history.

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio.

And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.

[Solo] (only half of it yet, strum all but low E while playing)

I think about you all the time

but I don't need the same.

If it's lonely where you are come back down,

and I won't tell no one your name.

Here is Name by the Goo Goo Dolls, if you don't want to re-tune your

guitar. If you really must play it this way, do, otherwise retune.

I still can't turn away.

Now we're grown up orphans, that never knew their names.

And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.

And re-runs all become our history.

And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.

Solo

(Have one guitar or bass play the chords (or roots), another guitar

pedals a high e (try 5th fret on the B string), while the other plays the

solo (this is my feeble attempt at it, but then, no one else has posted

anything))

(and then just play for a while along these lines until I figure out the

rest of it, okay? )

I think about you all the time

but I don't need the same.

If it's lonely where you are come back down,

and I won't tell no one your name.

this intro goes with the chords of the previous standard tuning tab. it

sounds great doing this intro and std. chords on one guitar and also playing

the chords of the alternative tuning tab with a second guitar.
