Gitarr

The song describes feeling emotionally disconnected and needing time alone for self-reflection. It references hiding from emotional pain ("shelter of my own protection") and needing to mature ("it's time to be a big girl now"). The chorus reiterates that the subject must move on in life ("big girls don't cry") despite missing their partner. The overall message is about an emotional breakup and the importance of independence.

Well since the only other tab on this site isn't
totally corect, I'll post the
way I hear it and play it. This may not be 100% right
either, but it sounds
closer than hell. You'll have to listen for the
strumming pattern on the Chorus
and Bridge, but they're the same chords. So I hope
this works!

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Verse 2:
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here

Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Bridge:
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Well, there you have it. I hope everyone can figure


the strumming pattern out.
It's not all that difficult. Well leave any comments,
suggestions or corrections
that you may have! Thanks!
Song: Wake Me Up When September Ends
Artist: Green Day
Album: American Idiot
Tabbed by: Dan Benz ([email protected])

This is a great song from an incredible album. I heard the intro to this
and I had to tab the whole thing. Easily my best tab, it took me a long
time because I wanted to get every note right.

For the acoustic verse and bridge, I tabbed each note out the way it's
played on the album, but if you'd rather just play the chords, they're
written above the tablature. See below for chord fingerings.

C - |x32010| Em - |022000|
Cm - |x35543| Bm - |x24432|
G - |3x0033| D - |xx0232|
G/Gb - |200033|
