MATCHBOX 20 - "mad season" Tablature

Song: Mad Season
Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Tabbed by: Jon Aleman


This is the new single off Matchbox Twenty's album "Mad Season". It's not that
difficult to play, and it wasn't all that hard to figure out once I realized that it was
capoed. Some of the chords are debatable, like the G5 (3x0033) could be a G (320033) or the
D (xx0232) could be a D5 (xx023x). It really doesn't matter when you're playing along with
the song, but I'm pretty sure that it is the way it's tabbed. Remember, standard tuning,
capo 3, all chords are relative to the capo.

VERSE 1:

G----->
Well I feel stupid, but I know it won't last for long


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


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


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


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: (Same as before)

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-->(Riff)
So someone tell me, why why why, do I I I... feel stupid


And I come undone... well I come undone
