          Backstreet Boys,
          I Want It That Way			TABBED BY:  MIKE ALLEN

          This song was pretty easy to figure out.  I've seen the tab 
on a few
other sites, but they're all wrong.  Trust me, this is right.
          Note: Verse 1 is strictly picking.  Verses 2 & 3 have two 
guitars, one
picking this intro and another strumming the chords.

          Here's the intro:
             (Em)	          (C)	 (G)
          |E|------------------|------------------|
          |B|-----0-----1P0----|-----1-------3----|
          |G|-------0----------|---0-------0--0---|    Do this 2 times 
for the
intro,
          |D|---2-----2-----2--|---------0--------|    And 3 times for 
the 1st
verse,
          |A|------------------|-3----------------|
          |E|-0----------------|-------3----------|

          Then,
          (Em)		 (D)	 (G)
          |E|------------------|
          |B|-----0-----1P0--|
          |G|-------0---------|
          |D|---2-----2----2-|
          |A|------------------|
          |E|-0--------------|

             (I   want   it   that   way)

          VERSE 2:
              Em 	  C    G
          But we are two worlds
            Em                 C    G
          Apart,  Can't reach to your
            Em                 C   G
          Heart.  When you say,
          Em          D   G
          I want it that way.

          CHORUS:
                         C
          Tell me why
                                          D    G
          (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
                         C
          Tell me why
                                        D   G                   C
          (Ain't nothin' but a mistake) (Tell me why)
                                    D	        G
          I never wanna hear you say
          Em          D   G
          I want it that way

          VERSE 3:
             Em 	 C  G
          Am I,  your fire.

                   Em       C  G
          Your one,  desire.
                     Em         C   G
          Yes I know, it's too late
               Em            D   G
          But, I want it that way.

          CHORUS 2:
                         C
          Tell me why
                                          D    G
          (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
                        C
          Tell me why
                                        D   G                   C
          (Ain't nothin' but a mistake) (Tell me why)
          	          D	        G
          I never wanna hear you say
          Em          C   D
          I want it that way

          BRIDGE:
          Em
          Now I can see that we're falling apart
          	                            C       D
          From the way that it used to be  (yeah)
          Em
          No matter the distance, I want you to know
          		         D
          That deep down inside of me.
                   C       D G
          You are my fire
                   C      D G
          The one desire
                   C
          You are (You are...You are...You are)

          |E|--0--3--7--5----|

           D                          E     A
          Ain't nothin' but a heartache
           D	             E   A
          Ain't nothin' but a mistake
          D	           E           A
