One of my favorite Ingrid Michaelson songs and I noticed that nobody had tabbed it so I thought
I would. It's my first tab so please rate. The song isn't that difficult. You just have
get the
rhythm right. I based it off of a live version I found on Youtube but it's the same as
album.
In the live version there's a capo on the 1st fret, so it's up to you if you want to
it. I tried to
get the chords lined up with the words but I couldn't unfortunately.
These are the tabs for a few of the chords:
