This is one of my favorite songs by Brian McKnight. This guitar part is pretty hard to
memorize. But once you're able to memorize it and sing it, then you have just mastered
this song. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I think this tab is at least 95% correct. The
other tab says the tuning is 2 Steps Down. That may be right, but i played this with standard
tuning. It sounds good to me. But just experiment with those two different kinds of
tuning to play this song. And see which tuning sounds better with this tab. Anyway, enjoy!
Legend:
x slap guitar or guitar strings (like on drum beat)

Verse 2: (Played like Verse 1)
"Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Everytime the phone rings, do you wish it me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame, I miss you.
Is everything okay?"
(Chorus)
