"Push" is a single from Matchbox Twenty's 1996 album, Yourself or Someone Like You.

"Push" follows a classic 90s ballad form: 2 verses, 2 pre-choruses, a bridge, and 3 choruses. Each chorus, except for the last one, is divided into 2 parts. The 2nd part of the choruses serves as a rhythmic departure from the first part and leads nicely back into the verse.

The progression of this song follows this pattern:

• Verse 1
• Pre-Chorus 1
• Chorus 1
• Verse 2
• Pre-Chorus 2
• Chorus 2
• Bridge
• Chorus 3

• Play along to the original recording repeatedly to get a sense of how the song is formatted
• Practice utilizing the alternate C major chord to make playing the song easier  
• Remember to jump back to D major after every C major chord in the pre-chorus and chorus  
  
• Remember that the strumming pattern changes mid-chorus
