This one was on her Girlysound demo tapes, and I took quite a liking to it, but couldn't 
find a tab for it. It's actually pretty simple. It goes along with the live version; 
the taped version sounds just a little bit different.
(Standard tuning, Capo 2nd)
**On the D in each verse, take your finger off the first string and play it with the 
high E open. Alternate between that and the standard D chord.
You might want to mess around with the G a little too and see what sounds best.
DI don't have what it Gtakes to stay with you
And DI'm leaving in under ten Gdays, it's not what I'd planned
But Danyway, you know, by and large Ganywhere I go
I won't find Danyone who loves me Genough to make you look bad
DAll the cars on the Groad are driving away from here
But DI'm still looking under my Gnose to see who I am
But Danywhere I go, standing at Gany kind of show
I won't find Danyone who'll tell me what I need to Gknow
That's not how it's done
But Danyway, you know, by and large Ganywhere I go
I won't find Danyone who loves me Genough
If I Aever Gpay you Dback
If my Amoney and Gwallet's Dintact
I'll Aprobably Gbe in a Dbox lying Emdown
ALoosely Gsuited in Dblack

D G

I don't have what it takes to stay with you

D G

And I'm leaving in under ten days, it's not what I'd planned

D G

But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go

D G

I won't find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad

D G

All the cars on the road are driving away from here

D G

But I'm still looking under my nose to see who I am

D G

But anywhere I go, standing at any kind of show

D G

I won't find anyone who'll tell me what I need to know

That's not how it's done

D G

But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go

D G

I won't find anyone who loves me enough

A G D

If I ever pay you back

A G D

If my money and wallet's intact

A G D Em

I'll probably be in a box lying down

A G D

Loosely suited in black
