Song: Goodnight, Good Guy | Artist: Collective Soul
Album: Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid (1993)
Tuning: (E A D G B E) -- Standard

I origionally got the basics for this tab from a tab that Khanh Tran did. I
had it posted for a while and then had some corrections sent to me by Orvis
Thomas (orvis_t@hotmail.com) so I definetly can't be given full credit. Just
remember that in most sections where chords are being played, they aren't
being strummed but instead, are picked. Therefore, you wont here every note
in the chord. An example is the "D" string on the F#?!

[Verse]
=======
E                         F#m7add4
Somebody told me 'bout a worn out distraction

      Asus4            E
That I had let slip away

Then it comes back and rides my shoulders

And burdens me every new day


[Pre-Chorus]
============
Aadd9                           Badd4
Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out

And try to figure out how to do without, without you


[Chorus]
========
E5             B5           C#5         A5
Who's gonna straighten me up, when I'm leaning

E5           B5            C#5          A5
Who's gonna soothe my heart, when it's burning

E5          B5       C#5      A5                B5
Who's gonna be the one to tell me everything's alright

B5
Well, goodnight, good guy


[Verse]
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
I can only stay so strong
