I saw a tab for this song on the internet and the author
of that tab said that he'd seen in Guitar World Acoustic
that the guitarist in Goo Goo Dolls said that the tuning
for this song was (Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Eb). But I really hate
retuning my guitar so this tab is made for standard tuning.
So *technically* this song isn't "correct", you aren't
playing it *exactly* like the original guitarist. But it
sounds REALLY close to the original song and you don't
have to bother to retune your guitar.
 The tab with the other tuning was at Fresh Tabs I
think. It's a tab archive with only new songs. I don't
remember the URL but it's a pretty good place.
 If you want to play along to the CD you must put a capo
on the first fret. That's because of all the tuning bullshit.
 Oh, and the lyrics might be a bit wrong in some places. It's
really hard sometimes to hear what he's singing. So any
corrections for the lyrics are more than welcome.
