Better Than Ezra – Good
This tab is 100% correct. Better Than Ezra is an awesome band, and this is a
great song. I have been searching for these tabs (correct ones that is) for
months but couldn't find them so i decided to tab it myself. Sorry I don't have
the strum patterns but it is in 4/4th's time and is very basic. You shouldn't
have any trouble, if so, contact me as shown below. Enjoy!

Here are the lyrics:
Lookin' around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'm just too sure
Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down but the letter said,
Whoh how, it was good, living with you,
Whoh how, it was good,
Whoh how, it was good, living with you,
Whoh how, it was good, ohhh
good good good good good good
Sittin' around the house
Watching the sun drape shadows on the floor
Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'll call or write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the 4th of July
Well I'm not too sure, and I'm too proud
Well I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say
[chorus]
[solo]
[chorus again]
