SONG TITLE: Ex-Factor
ARTIST/GROUP: Lauryn Hill
ALBUM: Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk

CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
G#m (466444) Ebm (x68876)
F# (244322) B (x2444x) or if you want (799877)
Bbm (688666) Am (577555) <- Am is just a transition chord.
I usually don't like R & B music at all, but this song is just
great! Especially the bridge part. There actually isn't any guitar
in this song, except for the guitar solo, but I just listened to
the bassline and these are the chords for the song. It sounds
great. This is in kind of a strange key. All the chords are
# or b something. If you want to play it with easier chords you
can just transpose it up one note (or tune your guitar down one
note) and play it in the key of G. If you do that the chords for
the intro and verses would be 'Am G' and the chords for the
chorus, bridge and outro would be 'Bm Em Am Em Bm Am C Em'.
Then you can play it with first position chords, but I don't
recommend it. I think it sounds better with barred chords and
if you're playing barred chords it doesn't matter if they're
#'s and b's. Well, enough with the bullshit,
here comes the song:
INTRO:
------
G#m F# G#m F#
[sing 'yo yo' a few times. It's kind of pointless to
try to write exactly how many times you say it ;)]
VERSE 1:
--------
G#m F#
It could all be so simple
G#m F#
But you rather make it hard
G#m F#
Loving you is like a battle
G#m F#
And we both end up with scars
G#m F#
Tell me who I have to be
G#m F#
To get some reciprocity
G#m F#
See no one loves you more than me
G#m F#
And no one ever will
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Is this just a a silly game?
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
See no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
CHORUS:
-------
Bbm
No matter how I think we grow
Ebm
You always seem to let me know
G#m
It ain't working (it ain't working)
Ebm
(it ain't working)
Bbm
And when I try to walk away
(Am) G#m
You hurt yourself to make me stay
B
This is crazy [about the Am chord that's in (). It's
Ebm really just a transition chord. When the
This is crazy bass is going down from Bb to G# he just
goes through the A. You don't have to
play it, but it sounds good to me, and
the bass plays it so...]
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what, we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
'cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
-------
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working
It ain't working
And when I try to walk away
You hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy
BRIDGE:
-------
Bbm
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
Ebm
There for me, there for me, Said you'd be there for me
G#m
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Ebm
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me
Bbm (Am)
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
G#m
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
B
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Ebm
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me
[play like above]
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Bbm
(Caaaaaaaaaaaaare)
Ebm
(Theeeeeeeeeeeere)
G#m
(Cryyyyyyyyyyyyyy) Where were you
Ebm
(Giiiiiiiiiiiiive) when I needed you
Bbm (Am)
(Caaaaaaaaaaaaare)
G#m
(Theeeeeeeeeeeere)
B
(Cryyyyyyyyyyyyyy)
Ebm
(Giiiiiiiiiiiiive)

These are the chords it's played over. They are the
same chords as in the chorus and bridge]
Bbm Ebm G#m Ebm
Bbm (Am) G#m B Ebm
[when the solo is ending you hear her singing 'where were you,
where were you when I needed you' or something like that]

fade out...] |
