Hand Me Down Matchbox 20

Gorgeous Matchbox 20 song called "Hand Me Down"... This version is in a completely different key than the record (chick voice). It's a really powerful song and I love covering it acoustically! Enjoy:)

LYRICS:
Someday they'll find your small town world
On a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talking to you

Gonna make you break out of your shell
'Cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth

They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say;
They're gonna break your heart, yeah

CHORUS:
From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
'Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody ought to take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When they're under your skin

Never once do you think that they would lie
When they're holding you
Then you wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you

You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it back;
You start to think you were born blind

(Chorus)

I'm here for the hard times,
The straight to your heart times
When living ain't easy you can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah

Someday they'll open up your world
Take you down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you
But they still can't erase you

(Chorus)

Lay them down on me
Oh yeah you're just one more hand me down...

I just discovered you while looking for this Matchbox Twenty song. Your voice is amazing! The emotion you put into a song while you sing it is incredible! I wish you well, but something tells me I need not wish for anything as you are well on your way to a very bright future! Keep up the hard work, it really shows!

@SmeagolTheBeagle Whaaaat! You lose all the pretty open acoustic string sounds if you barre the chords out ;)
