Send "Its been a while" Ringtone to your Cell 
It's Been Awhile
Staind
(Tune down 1/2 step)
Am Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 (x2)
Am
And it's been awhile
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
Am Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2
And everything I can remember
Is fucked up as it always seemed
The consequences that are rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I couldn't say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I couldn't say I loved myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can remember
Is fucked up as it always seemed
The consequences that are rendered
Gonna fuck things up again, again
G6 Dsus2 Am G6 Dsus2
Why must I feel this way?
Am G6 Dsus2
Just make this go away
Am G6 Dsus2 Am
Just one more peaceful day
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way the you taste
And everything I can remember
Is fucked up as it always seemed to me I know this place
And can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry...

Break The Cycle
Nothing too difficult here. Tune your guitar down 1/2 step (E=Eb,
A=Ab, etc...) If you have a distortion pedal, kick it on for the
chorus and the bridge.

Song: It's been awhile
Tabbed by: Justin Holton
I've also sent this off to olga.net, so it may look familiar.
For the electric part the guitar is in Dropped Db, but
the acoustic is in Standard Eb tuning. (NOTE: Since we
tune down I'll refer to a chord by its tonality. This
means while you'll be fingering a "C" chord, it will
actually sound out as "B".) I have two different sections;
Section 1 is for someone who wants to do an acoustic version,
Section 2 is for a band who plans on playing the electric
version.
**SECTION 1**
