I Got You - Jack Johnson
Tabbed by: sbarker12
Tuning: Open B (B, F#, B, F#, B, D#)
This is how Jack Johnson actually plays it, give or take a few strums and random notes.
Play it loosely, like Jack, get the basic idea then just feel it out as you go along.
Don’t worry about the exact notes too much (especially in the intro).

Lyrics:
Back when all my little goals seemed so important
Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion
But soon
I got you
I got everything
I've got you
I don't need nothing
More than you
I got everything
I've got you
We went walking through the hills
Tryin' to pretend that we both know
Maybe if we save up
We can build a little home
But then the hell storm came and yelled,
"You need to let go, you've got no control. No."
I got you
I got everything
I've got you
I don't need nothing
More than you
I got everything
I've got you
This weight's too much alone
Some days I can't hold it at all
You take it on for me
When tomorrow's too much
I'll carry it all
I've got you
And when tomorrow's too much
I'll carry it all
I got you
I got you
I got everything
I've got you
I don't need nothing
More than you
I got everything
I've got you
