Fall Apart Today

The version I have here IS NOT 100% accurate and as you've probably already figured out,
been close to impossible to find a good video of her playing this song to get it
right, but this version does sound nice to play and sing along with.  It should work 
someone comes out with a 100% correct version.  :-)


Basic finger-picking:

This is just a pretty, finger-picking rhythm pattern to sustain as a nice backdrop to
over.  If you listen to her song, it sounds like she has another finger-picking pattern
chords but striking notes on the first strings...however it doesn't work well alone to 
with - I think she has a 2nd guitarist playing with her on this song).  This version is
for those playing alone.

I'm not sure about the bridge, but in some live versions, they skip the bridge
and play a guitar solo instead.  Play the bridge similar to finger-picking riff used on chorus
verses:

Capo 3 (or whatever suits your vocal range - I like it on 2)


G            G             Cadd9        Cadd9

Intro:

G, Cadd9, G, Cadd9 (verse starts on Cadd9)

Verse:

Cadd9            G
I don't want us to fall apart today or ever
Cadd9                             G
You're the one who said you'd never leave
       Cadd9
There's no good reason for giving up
    G
And all this mess is just bad luck
Cadd9                             G
Please don't lose your confidence in me

Pre chorus:

Am     Em
I wish I wasn't so fragile
Am                             C
Cause I know that I'm not easy to handle

Chorus:

G
Baby please
Cadd9
Don't forget you love me
G                      Cadd9
Don't forget you love me today

G
Baby please
Cadd9
Don't forget you love me
G                      Cadd9
Don't forget you love me today

Verse 2:
Cadd9         G
I don't want to feel like this
           Cadd
But I'm so tired of missing you
Cadd9         G
I don't want to beg for your time
Cadd9             G
I want you mine all mine


Bridge:

Am                        Em
I'll bet you smile when you think of me
            Am
You love me messy in the morning
Em
Freckles on my knees oh baby
Am       Cm6
Pleeeeee-eeease

Back to prechorus then to chorus.


After you get the basic riff down, it's pretty easy.  You play the same pattern of the
for the bridge, as well, but the bass note doesn't start on the 6th string like it does
the G, it is played on the 5th.

Sorry if this isn't that great.  It's my first tab and I know it's not exactly the same
the song, but it's workable enough to sing with.

Good luck!
