xARTIST: Staind - Aaron Lewis
SONG TITLE: Fill Me Up (Acoustic)
ALBUM: 14 Shades of Gray
TRACK NUMBER: 07
TABBED BY: Tim Knight
Semi-simple song with easy chord progressions and strumming pattern with the classic
Lewis style of dropped 1/2 step tuning when playing acoustic. Lot's of hammers in this
song. The best version I have seen this song played acoustically is when he was on his
tour at the Mohegan (see the video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci5-IXP4RU0)
The only hard part is singing the song along with the chords because of the changes in
pitch, and the last part of each verse switching the Cadd9 with the Gsus2.
Dropped 1/2 step

-[VERSE 1]-
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
I just had to let you know
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
cause I don't always let it show
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
you give me needed room to grow
Em7 D Em7 Gsus2
and I just had to tell you so
-[CHORUS]-
Cadd9 Em7 D
You fill me up, you're in my veins
Cadd9
A look could take my breath away
Cadd9 Em7 D
And all these things, you give away
Cadd9
Sometimes I take for granted
-[VERSE 2]-
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
It's just like poetry inside
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
To hear you breathing by my side
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
Like I’m in heaven and I’ve died
Em7 D Em7 Gsus2
So glad you're with me for this ride
-[REPEAT CHORUS]-
-[VERSE 3]-
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
I see your face to start my day
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
Makes all my bad dreams go away
Em7 D Em7 Cadd9
And all the stupid games we play
Em7 D Em7 Gsus2
Wouldn't have it any other way
-[REPEAT CHORUS x2]-
