Info:
CAPO 2nd Fret
Thanks to Andy S's version 2 tab from which most of this tab takes it shape from.
As I decided to tab this song in Standard Tuning (instead of attempting to hassle
with the typical GGD tuning), it is a compromise;
However,the essence of the Goo Goo Dolls' ringing sound can still be found in this tab
if you play it right =)

Tuning: Standard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB: This is my first tab. Also, I played this song with a 5 string guitar as my
little "e" string had snapped off.
In the verse of the song for the D/F chord, you may want to hammer on the G
string on the 2nd fret like this:
e|x
B|3
G|0h2
D|0
A|2
e|x
Imo, it sounds better. :D

Chords:
G (32003x)
D/F (x2023x)
C (x3203x)
Em (x2203x)
D (xx0232)

It may be easier to use your 3rd and 4th fingers here, rather than the 2nd and 3rd.

(Intro)
(Part 2)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/goo_goo_dolls/name_tab_ver_8.html ]
Verse 1:
G D/F C
And even though the moment passed me by
Em D ||PM|| (Part 2)
I still can't turn away
G D/F C
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Em D ||PM|| (Part 2)
Got tossed along the way
G D/F C
And letters that you never meant to send
Em D ||PM|| (Part 2)
Get lost or thrown away
Chorus:
G D/F
And now we're grown up orphans
C Em
That never knew their names
G D/F
We don't belong to no one
Em
That's a shame
G D/F
you could hide beside me
C Em
Maybe for a while
Em D/F C
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name
(Intro)
(Part 2)
Verse 2:
G D/F C
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
Em D ||PM|| (Part 2)
The past is never far
G D/F C
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
D/F D ||PM|| (Part 2)
Did you get to be a star
G D/F C
And don't it make you sad to know that life
D/F D ||PM|| (Part 2)
Is more than who we are
Chorus 2:
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
(Intro)
(Part 2 "And I won't tell em your name")
And I won't tell em your name
(Intro)
(Part 2 "And I won't tell em your name")
Ow!!!!!!!
Bridge (------------random succession of chords and other jingles-----------------------)
Verse 3:
G D/F C
I think about you all the time
Em D ||PM|| (PART 2)
But I don't need to sing
G D/F C
It's lonely where you are come back down
Em
And I won't tell em your name
****OR alternatively, you can use the Intro/Part 2.*******
