Slackers – What Went Wrong tab

Band: The Slackers
Song: What Went Wrong
Album: Peculiar

A few parts of the lyrics are questionable, I couldn't find official ones.  The chords are right though.

That Em to Em/Eb in the chorus is done thusly:

7 to 7
8    8
9    9

Verse 1: 
G                      Bm
Give me a minute to compose myself, it’s been
Em                    C
Long, long time since you been gone
G                           Em
I can still remember conversations we had
    D                   C
too bad that’s all that now lingers on
G                      Bm
So many times I nearly fooled myself that some…
Em                         C
Body like you could give a damn about me
G                              Em
But then one day you stepped into my life,
          D               G  
All my strife was a fleeting memory

Chorus:
C                   Em      D                C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C                                   Em     Em/Eb            C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em          D                C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)                     Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…

Verse 2: 
G                        Bm
During my life I somehow steered you wrong
Em                                   C
From the road once again was driving us way
G                              Em
I pushed aside the things that meant so much
     D                  C             
With hope that you’d be happy some day
G                          Bm
I wear regret now like the lines on my face
Em                                 C
Not a day passes on that you don’t cross my mind (You don’t cross my mind…)
G                               Em
Couldn’t raise the spirits of a broken heart
         D                              G 
And chance the ?

Chorus

C                   Em      D                C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C                                   Em     Em/Eb            C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em          D                C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)                     Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…

Solo: One time through verse chords, once through chorus... 

C                                           Cm

Verse 3:
G                        Bm
But then one day I gathered up the nerve
Em                                   C
To trip all of those waves I vowed not to cross
G                              Em
In for this pain that flow deep down inside
     D                  C             
That still housed the dreams that all is not lost
G                          Bm
Upon the threshold I now made my ascent
Em                                 C
towards the door I should close on one careless days
G                               Em
Without a look, just pass them buzzer and in
         D                              G 
That your name, long gone, it faded away

Chorus:
C                   Em      D                C
Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)
C                                   Em     Em/Eb            C
Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)
C                         Em          D                C
To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)
C (speed up strumming)                     Cm
Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…
