This is propably the most emotional song on the whole Album "In between Dreams"
(and the shortest) Here are the right Chords. Enjoy it!
Situations
Intro: Fade in with:  B-  Abm-  E-  F#- E  
BSituation number one 
AbmIt's the one that's just begun 
EBut evidently it's too F#late E  
BSituation number two 
AbmIt's the only chance for you 
EIt's controlled by denizens of F#hate E  
BSituation number three 
AbmIt's the one that no one sees 
EIt's all too often dismissed as F#fate E  
BSituation number four 
AbmIt's the one that left you wanting more 
EIt tantalized you with it's F#baitE  
Outro:  B-  B-  A-  F#-  B-  B-  A- F#  
You'll get it pretty soon and it sounds really nice. Listen to the song more often to
learn the Strumming Pattern. Greetings from Germany, Berlin. Jack Johnson is not that
famous over here. On the one hand side he earns to be one of the famoust artists but on
the other hand I would suffer from hearing him between Britney and any other "artists"
who have no clue from music. So Jack Johnson would be part of the "Mainstream Music".
OH MY, this would be hell, as long as mainstream is that sad. JACK JOHNSON IS THE
GREATEST :)!His lyrics are not meaningless, I mean he uses Music the right
way (the way it was meant to be), as he writes telling lyrics. I can't wait to see his
concert over here in Berlin.
Greetings David G.
P.S.: Don't be ashamed while noticing some tear drops from your eyes when you're
listening to the song. In Germany we call these songs "SEHR ERGREIFEND" what means
"VERY MOVING".
TO ALL: Let's bring the world to peace and let's hold together, like god wanted us to
be! PLEASE
