Fix You Acoustic by The Offspring
Hey, I just had a go on playing this on acoustic... this is what worked for me:
Just use the picking pattern where it says to pick, and where it says strum, use the
shown. Listen for stumming pattern... also works playing along to song. Feel free to leave
comments or suggestions!
Cheers

Verse 1 (Picking)
-----------------
She wakes up
Rage and grace
Pulling me closer
Pushing away
And me the sharpest thorn on your vine
Twisting and turning were all intertwined
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says"you know, we'd all like to rearrange"
Fill 1 (picking) x1
----------------
Chorus 1 (Picking)
------------------
I wish I could fix you
And make you how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish you could fix me
I wish I could heal you
And mend where you are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish you could heal me
Fill 2 (picking) x1
----------------
Verse 2 (picking)
-----------------
The beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
And she said "baby ive got to get going"
Cutting eachother wihtout even knowing
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All gods tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain
Chorus 2 Strumming:
-------------------
E
I wish I could fix you
B
And make you how I want you
D
I wish I could fix you
A
And I wish you could fix me
E
I wish I could heal you
B
And mend where you are broken
D
I wish I could heal you
A
And I wish you could heal me
Fill 3 (Strumming)
------------------
E B D A
Ending (Picking)
----------------
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says" you know, we'd all like to rearrange"
