Tabbed by: Hampus Hidenius

Tuning:Standard (Capo at 9th fret)
I saw that there already was a tab of this song and it's good but its not quite right.
I'm pretty sure MMJ plays this song with a Capo at the 9th fret.
It sounds more like the record AND its easier to play :)
Over all the choruses, play this little riff:
[E] [A] [B]
e|---0----------0-0-4-7--5---------------------4--2--0-----------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Listen to the song for timing
Intro D U D D D U D D
e|--------------------0-0-x----0-------------------------0-0-x----0------------------|
B|--------------------1-1-x----1-------------------------0-0x----0-------------------|
G|--------------------2-2-x----2-------------------------0-0-x----0------------------|

D U D D D U D D D U D D
e|--------------------0-0-x----0-------------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
B|--------------------1-1-x----1-------------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|

E|-0-0-0-3-----------------------------0-0-0-3-----------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
The rythm is the same as the intro in the first half of the song, but after that,
the jam starts, but i will get to that later.
Verse 1
[E]Sorry bout the things that I had to say
and I'll [A]make it up to you right now[B] at the penny arcade.
[E]In an open car or wherever you are
push [A]yourself too far a[B]nd it might get hot.
Pre-chorus
[A]Well I really don't need the confusio[B]n
and you [A]know I just ain't the typ[B]e
to get [A]all wrapped up in the illus[B]ion of doin somet[A]hing that I know ain't r[B]ight
right right. Right, right'?
Chorus
[E]You've got to want to re-arrange and keep it [A]off the record.
[B]Off the record.
[E]You've got to know that we will change and keep it [A]off the record.
[B]Off The Record.
After the chorus, you play this:
e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------0-0-0-0-2-5------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--7-----------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The timing is a little tricky on that riff so listen to the song to hear it.
Verse 2
[E]In a crowded room near the box of boom,
to an [A]artificial tune,[B] I see you swoon.
[E]Well you knew all this would turn to mist if your [A]idea wasn't kissed
[B]Why're you so pissed?
Pre-chorus
[A]Well I know you don't need the confusion[B]
and I [A]know you just ain't the type[B],
to get [A]all wrapped up in the illus[B]ion of doin someth[A]ing that you know ain't [B]right
Right Right.
Right Right'? Right Right'? Right Right'?
Chorus
Y[E]ou've got to want to rearrange and keep it [A]off the record.
[B]Off the record.
Y[E]ou've got to know that we will change and keep it [A]Off The Record.
[B]Off The Record.
Over this chorus, play the chorus riff again.
[E]You've got to want to rearrenge and keep it [A]Off The Record.
[B]Off The Record
[E]You've got to know that we will change and keep it [A]Off The Record.
[B]Off The Record come on!
Play the intro again but instead of ending with this:
D U D D D U D D
e|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
B|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
G|--------------------1-1-x----1------1-1-x----1--|
D|--------------------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--|
A|----------0--2------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--|
