I Miss You by Incubus
I Miss You
This is played with a single electric or acoustic guitar in standard
tuning, but with the low E string tuned down a D (DADGBE). This
tablature is my own work, it may be distributed freely.
Guitar Setup:
Acoustic - None
Electric - On a Line6 Pod, I used "Pod Clean"; 0% drive; 100% B/M/T; and
set the chorus to match the song.
Playing:
This actually a well-written, but easy song to play. Since it's so simple,
there is LOTS of room to fool around with chords and playing on this song.
I just outlined the basic chords below. Listen to the song for the feel.
The only odd part is the 2nd run of the pre-chorus, to play that funny part,
play the 10th fret with your pinky and let your index finger muffle the B
string
and strum the quick change on the 7th fret.

Or, you can strum these. Which don't sound even close to as well, but if you're lazy...
D/C# G/C#
(Play riff, or strum D/C# G/C#)
To see you when I wake up,
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do...
Is a three-fold, utopian dream...
Chorus:
B G D B G D
You do something to me that I can't explain.
B G D G
So would I be out of line if I said;
G
I miss you...
(Riff or D/C# G/C#)
I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
But already I'm wasting away.
Chorus:
B G D
I know I'll see you again...
B G D
Whether far or soon.
B G D
But I need you to know..
G
That I care.
G
And I miss you.
