It's almost uncanny...
However, I think If You're Gone is a great song. I've never realized the similarities, though.

Uncanny. The beginning is similar but as the song progresses, If You're Gone is a good song and WWWB is a weak ass crap.

If Your Gone is ten times the song WWWB is. The album it's taken from is superb too. Mad Season, download it.

I saw Matchbox Twenty supporting Bon Jovi in 2001 in Dublin.

They almost blew Jon and they boys away. I went out of that show really impressed, I bought their previous albums and fell in love. They have never written a dud song.

Excellent live too.
