Tuning: Distortion Guitar: Rythmn - Drop D down half a step
Clean and Distorted Guitar II: Lead - Half-Step Down
I was just listening to the bands new album, "Illusion of Progress" and
I really liked this song when I first heard. It takes that "short, sweet
and to the point" approach by making things simple music and lyric wise.
All I Want is something I wasn't really expecting from Staind but
I just figured out Aarons part of the song. his rythmn is really simple.
He uses four chords throughout the song, I'm not sure about the bridge
or Mikes part yet but this tab could things started until the rest is
figured out
(Update: 8/15/08)
I figured out the melody to the intro that Mike plays and I'm pretty sure
it's right
(Update: 8/29/08)
After watching several videos on YouTube and the staind official site
I saw that Aaron uses four power chords and mike uses the traditional
first position chords.

Verse 1:
What I leave,
When you go,
What I see,
And what you show,
And what I guess,
And when I don't,
Is something you all ready, all ready know,
Chorus:
I can't live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All I want is you,
Verse2:
The things I do,
I go through,
And all I see,
When Im awake,
And what I make,
The shit that I take,
Is something you all ready, all ready know
Chorus:
I can't live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All I want is you,
Bridge:
Ohhh,...
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
You're all I dream about,
That I can't live without,
All I want is you
Chorus:
I can't live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All I want is you,
I just can't live without you,
When all I think about is you,
And all I want is you
