[Intro]
Riff with G (palm muted) in background
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
            G                                     C
Well I feel stupid, but I know it won''t last for long
            G                                       C
I''ve been guessing, and I could have been guessing wrong
Em              D       G                       C
You don''t know me now, I kinda thought that you should somehow
           G     D      Em   D      C
It''s that whole mad season got you down
 
 
[Verse 2] (Same chord progression as before)
 
Well I feel stupid, but it''s something that comes and goes
And I''ve been changing, I think it''s funny how no one knows
We don''t talk about, the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                              D
I need you now, do you think you can cope
                G                         D
You''ve figured me out, that I''m lost and I''m hopeless
                 Am                        C                    G -->
I''m bleeding and broken, though I''ve never spoken, I come undone
-->
In this mad season
Em -->                                              C      Csus
So why you got to stand there looking like the answer now
 
Em                C  Csus
It seems to me, you come around
 
 
[Verse 3] (Same chord progression as last two)
 
Well I feel stupid, but I think I''ve been catching on
I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on
You''ve grown colder now, torn apart, angry turned around
When that whole mad season knocks you down
 
 
Em -->                                          C       Csus
So are you gonna stand there, are you gonna help me out
Em              C Csus
We need to be together now
 
 
(Chorus)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
          G                         D
And now I''m cryin, isn''t that what you want
         G                          D
And I''m trying to live my life on my own
                  G                      D
But I want all the times I do believe I am strong
                   Am              C                     G -->
So someone tell me, why why why, do I I I... feel stupid
 
And I come undone... well I come undone
 
 
(Chorus x2)
 
 
[Outro]
G and Riff

				  I.. need  you now
 
For the fast repeats of B|--15-- the number of repetitions are
suggestive only (but very close to, if not the same as the original).
More or less reps can be used depending on how fast you can pick! I had to slow
the recording down to work this out, so if you are able to do that you might find
it easier to get a feel for the last two sections of the solo tab.
 
Chorus 2
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I''m lost and I''m hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I''ve never spoken
 
Chorus 3 and Outro
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I''m a child and I''m hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I''ve never spoken
I come, Ohhhhhhh i come undone - in this mad season

Then it''s just Riff 1 and 2 for the rest of the outro.
 
In this mad season
There''s been a mad season
Been a mad season
