(thanks bryson for your earlier posting that i piggy backed off of...) symbols used in transcription: h = hammer-on p = pull-off intro: (clean electric with leslie speaker effect) E-----------------------------------------------------| B----3---3------------------------------------3-------| G--------------2--------------2-------0---------------| D------------------------0h2------2-------2-----------| A-----------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------| G------------------2-------0--------------------------| D----2----2p0----------2-------0h2---2----------------| A--------------2--------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------| piano / acoustic guitar: | E | | | | | E | | | | verse tab adds in with these measures: | E | G D | C | Am C | verse tab: (all verses and choruses use this tab... the bridge uses a variation) E-----------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------3----------------| G-----------------2-------0---------------------------| D----2---2p0----------2--------0h2--------2---2p0-----| A-------------2------------------------------------2--| E-----------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------| B---------------------------| G---2-------0---------------| D-------2-------0h2---2-----| A---------------------------| E---------------------------| verse: | E | G D | C | Am C | today and every day, today and every day today and every day, today and every day i'm standin' here in your closet, unbuttonin' all your clothes you sleep in your bed tonight, but i never find you home you're givin' me crooked answers, i'm crackin' your little code i'm learnin' another language, so full it's about to explode bridge: | E | G D | you give me a ladder now i surely believe I'll climb it don't even matter now i'm willing to take my time chorus: | E | G D | C | Am C | i'm gonna love you anyway-hey! today and every day, today and every day i'm gonna love you anyway-hey! today and every day, today and every day verse chords (no lyrics) x2: | E | G D | C | Am C | verse: | E | G D | C | Am C | i wanted it to be easy, i know that i'll make you tired some tell me you're slow and lazy, some tell me you're so inspired you wanted a long flirtation, your plane doesn't ever land some things i don't want to look at, i don't want to understand but bridge: | E | G D | you give me a ladder now i surely believe i'll climb it don't even matter now i'm willing to take my time repeat chorus. verse-type outro: | E | G D | C | Am C | hey hey hey hey-ey today and everyday www.TAB6.com
