Goo Goo Dolls - Iris - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover By James Bartholomew 

This is by far the best guitar-arranged version I have heard of this song.

You really added your personal touch on this song, it's not exactly the same as the original but i really like your arrangement i think it's better than others that try to be 100% accurate on the song ! Keep up the good work James and thanks for all your tabs.

Probably the best version I've ever heard. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

LOVE LOVE LOVE! So flawless and beautiful! ♥

Sounds very calming

Wow it totally calms me down, really nice played and arranged!!!

LYRICS: And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

And I'd give up forever to touch you Dan aku takkan lagi bisa menyentuhmu selamanya Cuz I know that you feel me somehow Karna kutahu kau tetap bisa merasakanku You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be Bagiku engkaulah yang terdekat dengan surga And I don't want to go home right now Dan aku tak ingin pulang saat ini And all I can taste is this moment Dan yang bisa kunikmati hanyalah saat ini And all I can breathe is your life Dan yang bisa kuhirup hanyalah hidupmu Cuz sooner or later it's over Karna cepat atau lambat semua ini kan berakhir I just don't want to miss you tonight Aku hanya tak ingin kehilanganmu malam ini CHORUS And I don't want the world to see me Dan aku tak ingin dunia melihatku Cuz I don't think that they'd understand Karna mereka pasti takkan mengerti When everything's made to be broken Saat semuanya diciptakan untuk hancur I just want you to know who I am Aku hanya ingin kau tahu siapa diriku ini And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Dan kau tak bisa melawan air mata yang tak menetes Or the moment of truth in your lies Atau saat-saat penting dalam kebohonganmu When everything feels like the movies Saat semuanya terasa seperti sandiwara Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive Yeah, kau kan rela terluka demi agar kau tahu bahwa kau masih hidup CHORUS (3x) I just want you to know who I am Aku hanya ingin kau tahu siapa diriku ini I just want you to know who I am Aku hanya ingin kau tahu siapa diriku ini I just want you to know who I am Aku hanya ingin kau tahu siapa diriku

I literally sang this 5 mins ago!!!! What a co-winky-dink xD
