This is a cross between Toto and Howie Day. Great song on acoustic with finger picking
and strumming. The verses are Toto and the chorus is Howie Day, I think it just sounds
amazing.

just try singing the song along with the chords you gave... it sounds horrible. plus, the chord names and the fingerings you gave at the end don't correspond, for instance B is x24442 and not 332x33 (which is a kind of Cadd9/G). Besides, i also tried playing using the fingerings instead of the chords according to their name but that doesn't work either. if you want, email me when your tab is corrected and i will change my rating.

put a capo at the second fret and it sounds fantastic. good tab, but the most important thing was missing
