Notes: The other tab of this song was quite good, but not exactly how Mat Kearney plays it.
I've been studying the patterns and style of Mat Kearney for a while now. After seeing
him play live, watching videos of him playing live, and slowing down the studio recording
of this song, I can confirm that this is how he plays the song.
Also, Mat Kearney makes a very quick switch to a G5
before jumping into the Chorus. You have to listen closely.

(He mixes up a chord in the bridge though, as you can see)

The [D]world is too big to [D/F#]never ask why
The [G5]answers don't fall straight out of the [A]sky
