C (x32010)
D/F# (2x0232)
Em (022000)
A really famous song by one of my least favorite bands. The first song
I heard by Everclear was 'Local God' which I REALLY liked!! But then
all the songs after that I've hated. This song starts out EXACTLY like
'Truly Madly Deeply' by Savage Garden and what's with that stupid
pretentious spoken intro? But other than that this is a pretty good
song, with good lyrics! (And please don't start sending me hatemail
because I don't like Everclear, what's the point? I've had lots of
hatemail because of Creed and I don't feel like getting any more.
You like them, I don't, who cares?)
INTRO:
------
[spoken intro:]
Wonderful.....Isn't it wonderful now...
G D C D
VERSE 1:
--------
G
I close my eyes when I get too sad
D
I think thoughts that I know are bad
C
Close my eyes and I count to ten
D
Hope it's over when I open them
G
I want the things that I had before
D
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
C
I wish I could count to ten
D
Make everything be wonderful again
[You may notice in VERSE 2 and pretty much the rest of the song
that when he's playing 'G D C D' you can always hear some kind
of E between each chord. I just play the chords straight and
don't bother with that but here are two ways you can play it:]
G D C D
E|---3---------2---------0---------2----|
B|---3---------3---------1---------3----|
G|---0---------2---------0---------2----|
D|---0------2--0------2--2------2--0----|
A|---2-------------------3--------------|
E|---3----------------------------------|
OR:
G D C D
E|---3------0--2------0--0------0--2----|
B|---3------0--3------0--1------0--3----|
G|---0------0--2------0--0------0--2----|
D|---0---------0---------2---------0----|
A|---2-------------------3--------------|
E|---3----------------------------------|
But like I said, I just play the chords normally and don't
bother with that stuff. But use it if you think it sounds better.
VERSE 2: [Play like verse 1]
--------
Hold my mom and I hold my dad
Can't figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words and make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed and I
Dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful some day
[The first few chords in the
chorus are picked like this:]
C D G
E|----------0---------------2---------------3---------------3-------
B|----------------------3-------------------------------------------
G|------0-------------2---2-------------0---------------0-----------
D|----2---2---------0-----------------0---0-----------0---0---------
A|--3---------------------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------3---------------3---------------
C D
E----------0---------------2------|
B----------------------3----------| Then strum the rest of the
G------0-------------2---2--------| CHORUS.
D----2---2---------0--------------|
A--3------------------------------|
E---------------------------------|

VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
--------
Go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all ok
I laugh a lot so my friends wont know

Go in my room and I close my eyes
I make believe I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful some day
