Matchbox 20 - Tired Lyrics
You've been talking for an hour,
and I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me
Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing and it makes you stronger
[chorus:]
All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired
There's a funny way your lip shakes when I know that you've been lying,
and it touches me
It comforts me, it comforts me
I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time
Well let's settle there, we can build from there, build from there
Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am
You could shadow me and dare me to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But it really doesn't matter when you stop to think about it
[CHORUS]
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired, I'm tired (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I can lie to you, say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing
[CHORUS]
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired, tired
Well all is nothing in moderation
Dirty feeling, strange sensation
I believe, I believe
Believe I'm tired

Matchbox 20 Tired Comments
Britney spears to be in this
Brian Yale :) MVP :)
This is a Tabitha's Secret song.
3am is as well for that matter. But I do love this song. I wish Rob would have brought more songs with him from TS
Does any one have a guitar tab for the song?
Hey Kyle this is the Rock n ROLL COWBOY from Greenback Tn. I just wanted to tell you that me and my lead singer Jesse Stokes really love you man. Rob and your collaboration has been a great influence on us in our music and our lives. I know that Rob is the front man but he is great because of your excecellents. Keep the faith and rock on .
The most under rated singer and band in music history but still us true music fans know them im irish leon t34. now shut the fuck up im enjoying them all over again sorry ha x
Yeah, they were just getting going around this time. It was a Tabitha's Secret track but it sounded much different; it sounds much better as a driving rock song.
Kyle look soooooooooooooo young here........... cutie !!! <3
Kathy Reid He was about 20 in this concert
Okay, I've read some of the comments and I'm still not sure if I can find this song on one of Matchbox's CDs. I'm pretty sure I've every one they ever put out and I don't have it on any of mine. Was it on a special edition of one of their CDs or something? I tried to find video of them doing it when they were Tabitha's Secret (well, Rob, Bryan and Paul were in Tabitha's secret with a couple of other guys before they found Adam and Kyle) and I couldn't find it there either. But I did find a very old performance of Tabitha's Secret doing 3 AM. I had no idea that Rob wrote it THAT long ago. Rob is a master singer/songwriter and my favorite of all time. I know I'm old (same age as Rob actually) but you can't put a date or an age on pure talent and that's what MB has. Any group that can come back after the very long hiatus they took (and at 40+ years old) and put together an album like "North" that debuted at #1 it's first week is plain old AWESOME!!!! But if anyone knows a MB album that I can find "Tired" on, please let me know. I think this song is great and had never even heard it until I discovered this footage of the 1998 Australia concert several years ago. Thanks!
Iamsecond Smith It's a bonus track on iTunes on the album More Than You Think You Are. Enjoy!
Iamsecond Smith it is on Tabitha Secrets cd Playing with matches
Yea it's a bonus track on the Japanese version of YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Mandela effect
Wow loving it I wish matchbox 20 would do more of the Tabitha's secret songs I loved them
can't we get an HQ version of this whole concert, PLEASE?! I have the VHS, I have a conversion from VHS to DVD, but I'd love to have HQ on youtube - seriously. Come on, label people.
Rob's best ever song!
I seen these guys a few times, they are always great. got this song on my ipod :P
damn Japanese gets all the good stuff =P
this whole Show was amazing love love "tired" & "paint me blue" from TS Rob is my all time Favorite <3
I cannot believe how long ago this was!!! This was my fave song of the concert and I am stoked I am in the vid!!!!!! A little younger lol Thank you for putting this on YouTube!!!!! :D
bands DO NOT sound like this anymore...how can this music just fade? it's too good!
Never heard this song, but I Love it!
@OwenStillLives Actually, there were two different versions of it with TS. The original was called Just Plain Tired, was slower, and had sort of a Caribbean island swing to it. I'm still not sure which version I like best but it will never sound as good as it did in my living room. :-)
@StillwatersStorm It's a bonus track on their first album, there are recorded versions of this song. There was also one done with Tabitha's Secret.
Epic solo is epic.
@StillwatersStorm its a bonus track on "yourself or someone like you" but it sounds alot like the songs on mad season
2 people aren't tired.
You no a songs epic when you hear it for the first time and love it!
@StillwatersStorm
look for Tabitha's Secret on iTunes. they have this song!
Can anybody else NOT believe this was 13 years ago????
Yes, I am...
omg forgot how much I loved this song!!!
this was recorded in the early 90's with the band Tabitha's Secret so it has been recorded with his first band and re-realeased as a bonus track later..
@StillwatersStorm They did record this, it's the secret track on "Yourself or Someone like You".
OMG!!!! Thank you so much for posting this onto You Tube!!! Im in it and have only got this concert on video!!! Thank you ;)
@LotKorn this one is a bonus track only released in japan on their first album yourself or someone like you.
its a tabitha's secret song that they used and played it live... its on the japanese cd of yourself or someone like you
It's increidible how they saound exactly the same or even better than in their albums.-
this is my new favorite song that rob has done. i think he does an amazing job at it. MB20 rocks!
Well 3 people from Tabitha's secret made up Matchbox 20.
i think meaning how can it not be available on CD or dvd
awesome
NOOOO its down ='(
This looks like Tabitha's secret..But its not..Hmm!
They did...it was Rob's first band, Tabitha's Secret...on the CD "don't play with matches"
i farkin luv this song.. wish they did a non live version!!
I love this so much! It's my favourite Matchbox song =]
Thanks for posting it up here!
It's from Matchbox 20 Rarities and Lost Souls, 11 - Tired (Non-LP Bonus Track)
Aaahh gasp *going to amazon to buy that now*!!!! Do you have it? Cuz I was looking at the track lists for the singles on amazon and it didn't say anything about this being on there...
they did. it was the B-Side to Push.
Aaaah i wonder if he'd do that again? That would be amazing!!! He is going on another solo tour.. um.. this summer i think!
It's on Don't Play With Matches, but I don't think it's on "Tabithas Secret?". But I like the Matchbox version better :). Idk but they're just both really different.. But I'm more of a matchbox person.
Tabitha's secret DID have a CD out though. Atleast one. Was it on there? I downloaded songs from them awhile back. Not sure if this one was there or not.
When I was at his solo concert a couple of years ago he picked one person from the audience and let them pick a song of their choice and he would play it. They chose HANG
Nah they're pretty good now.. check out Rob's voice in These Hard Times... but I do miss Adam!!! And I love their old songs.. pity they don't do any of the non greatest hits anymore... too bad they prob won't do this or you&i&i.. that would make my night!
when did this song come out? I have every album and i don't have it...
Love it!
