Sort Of – Ingrid Michaelson Tabbed by: Bob This song was super hard to tab because of the drifting bass notes along with the sustained high D throughout most of the song. Thank you to all prior authors on this site for helping me form a basis for this tab. If you find that there is a better way to translate some of the notes, if I've named any of my chords incorrectly, you know of better hand positions or really anything that you think could help please let me know and I will update this tab accordingly. You are also more than welcome to copy and paste my tab and make your own version from it. Enjoy. Once you have the basic pattern down, there are essentially two progressions that only differ from one another by removing the first chord and adding a chord at the end of the progression for the chorus: Intro/Verse: D -> Em7 -> D/F# -> Gsus2 Chorus/Bridge: Em7 -> D/F# -> Gsus2 -> A Finger-pick throughout: P,I,M,I,M,I,M,I There is a part at "But here I am, and here we go again" where you play each chord (of the chorus progression) one time by simultaneously plucking all three strings of the respective chord. Play it through a few times against the original and you'll figure it out pretty easily. Also, there is a bridge at "tell me what to do to take away the you" The Chord progression is the same as the Chorus, just slow and linger on the last A for a while and then play the last chorus as full chords (like the bridge).
