Ok so I wanted to play this song exactly like Colbie and couldn't find any decent chord tabs for that, so I decided to tab this one myself...which took a lot of time (to get the chords all by ear) but, worth every second =) PS: on the last chorus Colbie finger picks the strings instead of strumming but i haven't figured out the pattern yet ____________________________________________________________________________ First of all TUNING for this song is HALF STEP DOWN (D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,d#) Chords used are: E F#m G#m B C#m Asus2 But they're not the simple chords, as Colbie uses some open forms of F#m, G#m, C#m and B. So I'll show you how to play every chord myself (C#m can be played both ways): E F#m G#m B C#m Asus2 d#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---0--|--0--| A#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---5--|--0--| F#|--1--|--2--|--4--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--| C#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--| G#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--2--|--4---4--|--0--| D#|--0--|--2--|--4--|-----|---------|-----| Ok so here goes the song: E F#m G#m B x2 E F#m G#m B I think you took my heart away ----- when you said you're leaving E F#m G#m B Cause' right now I am hurting ------- all over again E F#m G#m B And I never thought that I'd be in these places on this day E F#m G#m B (strum once) And now I don't know how much more that I can take F#m G#m I'm breaking at the cracks F#m G#m And everything goes black F#m G#m It's another heart attack F#m G#m And I can't handle that F#m (strum once) Woah Love I need you back E F#m x1 E F#m G#m B I know that I'll get through this The feeling is stronger somehow E F#m G#m B I got my feet back on the ground And I'm turning around E F#m G#m B And I'll be everything you always said that I could be E F#m G#m B If only you'll be waiting right here for me patiently F#m G#m I'm breaking at the cracks F#m G#m And everything goes black F#m G#m It's another heart attack F#m G#m And I can't handle that F#m Woah Love I need you back (Interlude) C#m B Asus2 x1 C#m B Oh whenever would I take you back, Asus2 My heart was filled with love C#m B And I wipe these tears and I will laugh Asus2 If only I could make it last C#m B Asus2 x2 (laaaaaaaaaaaaaaast.../make it last...) (Last chorus - strum only once every chord) F#m G#m I'm breaking at the cracks F#m G#m And everything goes black F#m G#m It's another heart attack F#m G#m And I can't handle that F#m Woah Love I need you back E F#m x9 (E & F#m until the end of song) I need you back I need you back I need you back... Love I need you back... _________________________________________________________________________ Hope you like it =)
About the artist behind Breakin At The Cracks:
The popularity of Caillat's MySpace profile led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four months.[2] Her popularity on the social network was partially due to her song "Bubbly," and the songs on her profile have been played more than forty-two million times (as of May 31st, 2008).[3] For the week of July 17, 2007, "Bubbly" was featured on the iTunes Store as the free "Single of the Week". The promotion coincided with the release of Coco, her debut studio album. Caillat was also spotlighted by Rhapsody during the 2007 Black Friday Sale at Best Buy.
According to her MySpace profile, Caillat was first inspired to start singing at age eleven when she first heard the Fugees' 1996 version of the song "Killing Me Softly", made famous by Roberta Flack in 1973. Her MySpace profile also states that, though trained at piano from an early age, Caillat did not begin playing guitar until age nineteen.
In May 2008, Caillat recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, called "Lucky," on his album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.[4] The same month, Caillat recorded a cover of the song "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid for Disney's DisneyMania vol. 6 CD.[5]
Caillat is currently shooting another music video in Hawaii for her song "The Little Things."[6]
