          Here is one of the best songs off of Maroon.  It's really fun to play, too; very 
up-tempo.
          This is also my first tab, so I would greatly appreciate some feedback.  Thanks!

          ***CAPO 2nd FRET***

          **These are all basically the same riff and it's ok to play each one the same way.  I 
just like a little variety.**

                      G          Cadd9

          Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home
