BACKSTREET BOYS - "i want it that way2" Tablature

Official BACKSTREET BOYS Tablature & Sheet Music »

Please go easy, this is the first song I've ever tabbed!
This is almost the exact same thing as the CD. I take that back,
it's the exact same thing. I tabbed this myself, and I've played
along with the CD ten zillion times and played this is concert with
my band. So, here it is: I Want It That Way. Enjoy!

Tabbed by: Cris (lemon_angel@alloymail.com)

You just keep playing this through the first part, but when you get
to "I want it that way" in the verses, you play E A

VERSE 1
You are, my fire
The one, desire
Believe, when I say
A E
I want it that way

But we, are two worlds
Apart, can't reach to
Your heart, when you say
A E
I want it that way

*now here it changes to chords for the chorus*
D E F#
Tell me why, Ain't nothing but a heartache
D E F#
Tell me why, ain't nothing but a mistake
F#
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say
A E
I want it that way

Right here, it goes back to the fingerplay above for the verse

Am I, you're fire
Your one, desire
Yes I know, it's too late
E A
But I want it that way

CHORUS

I have to finish the bridge and the key change, maybe I'll get my
buddy to do it. But that's basically it, it's a pretty easy song.
If you do this with a band or something, after you do the
fingerplaying for the first verse, after it goes to "But we are two
worlds apart," I would suggest getting another guitar to do the
chorus along with it. It sounds cool when you do it like that,
so try it. You'll see what I mean....
