Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Bright Lights by matchbox twenty Album: more than you think you are Tabbed by JBravo20 This is my first tab on a song, so don't complain if it's wrong. Just send an e-mail to so I can correct this. In my humble opinion, I find it better if you just start out with the bass notes on the first verse and pre-chorus, then softly play the first chorus, afterward play the second verse on with a louder tone, kinda like the CD.
