I have yet to find a tab that has sounded right, so I figured this out for the most It should be fairly close. Please don't give me that much crap, this is my first ever Comments would be nice though... Collective Soul Perfect to Stay From the Ground Up Standard Tuning: E,A,D,G,b,E can be played in flat, but standard is easier to sing in.... Here we go..... Intro: 5x

(I am not sure about this verse, I always improv and it works, so just do what you want it) I just know that I start with an E, then G but after that I don't know, I'm really I prolly shouldn't post this tab.... Sorry everyone Like the sun surely loves it's newborn days yeah Like all oceans love their waves I'm perfect to stay Solo: Em7,C,G,D

Then I fade out with the verse(s) strum pattern.... I'm really sorry I couldn't tab the 3rd verse but the others are right. This is an song.....
