Take What I Can Get by Matthew Mayfield
Take What I Can Get
Capo: 1st fret
You''ll likely want to capo this song...anywhere from the 2nd fret to the 5th fret depending on which key you
prefer. Transpose it to your liking, I prefer playing it in F (E capo 1).
Intro: E A
E C#m
If finders were keepers, I''d still be at home Take it or leave it, I''ll show you the ropes
B A
When you no longer see me... I''ll be gone
E C#m
So much for answers, I don''t have a clue I can hear ya'', you''re calling from outside my room
B A
You''re still locked inside me... Holding on
A B A B
So I''ll take what I can get So I''ll take what I can get
E C#m
I''ll break out your windows, I don''t need a key Show me your doubts and I''ll make you believe
B A
Yeah, you''re still here to haunt me... You ain''t gone
A B A B
So I''ll take what I can get So I''ll take what I can get
E A E A
So if you''re coming home I''ll be out on my own
E B A
I don''t need you To give me back, the open wounds
E A E A
But if you start, to shed your skin Naked heart, wearing thin
E B A
When you call I''ll be here...once again
A B A B
So I take what I can get So I''ll take what I can get
Outro: E B A
If finders were keepers, I''d still be at home
Take it or leave it, I''ll show you the ropes
When you no longer see me
I''ll be gone
So much for answers, I don''t have a clue
I can hear ya, you''re calling from outside my room
You''re still locked inside me
Holding on
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
I''ll break out your windows, I don''t need a key
Show me your doubts and I''ll make you believe
Yeah, you''re still here to haunt me
You ain''t gone
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
If you are coming home
I''ll be out on my own
I don''t need you
To give me back the open wounds
But if you start to shed your skin
Naked heart - wearing thin
When you call
I''ll be here
Once again
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
What I can get

version 2
uning: Open E5 (CGCCGC)
Capo: 4th Fret
Notes: I tabbed this out using a live performance on YouTube played by Matthew
himself at a show. He plays this using the tuning/capo listed above but if you
don''t have a capo, carefully tune up two steps to EBEEBE (though this will make it
very difficult to stretch multiple frets; i.e. the intro).

"wounds..."
If finders were keepers, I''d still be at home
Take it or leave it, I''ll show you the ropes
When you no longer see me
I''ll be gone
So much for answers, I don''t have a clue
I can hear ya, you''re calling from outside my room
You''re still locked inside me
Holding on
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
I''ll break out your windows, I don''t need a key
Show me your doubts and I''ll make you believe
Yeah, you''re still here to haunt me
You ain''t gone
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
If you are coming home
I''ll be out on my own
I don''t need you
To give me back the open wounds
But if you start to shed your skin
Naked heart - wearing thin
When you call
I''ll be here
Once again
So I take what I can get
So I take what I can get
What I can get
