Note:This is the FULL always song, it's been time coded and the lyrics are at the bottom. This is the 100% correction to play Always and I did this by ear. That other version got some stuff right but the intro and some other stuff are wrong so I'll tab them the right way.

Thats all the tabs for the song.. PLEASE RATE IT! Thank you and heres the lyrics..
Lyrics I've been here before a few times And I'm quite aware we're dying And your hands they shake with goodbyes And I'll take you back if you'd have me So here I am I'm trying So here I am are you ready
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you Always Kiss you taste you all night Always
And I'll miss your laugh your smile I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me I'm so sick of fights I hate them Lets start this again for real
So here I am I'm trying So here I am are you ready So here I am I'm trying So here I am are you ready
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you Always Kiss you taste you all night Always Come on let me hold you touch you feel you Always Kiss you taste you all night Always
I've been here before a few times And I'm quite aware we're dying
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you Always Kiss you taste you all night Always Come on let me hold you touch you feel you Always Kiss you taste you all night Always

[Verse 1]
I've been here before a few times
and im quite aware we're dying
and your hands they shake with goodbyes
and i'll take you back if you'd have me
So here i am
im trying
so here i am
are you ready?
[Chorus]
Come on let me hold you
touch you
feel you always
kiss you
taste you
all night always
[Verse 2]
And i'll miss your laugh
your smile
i'll admit i'm wrong
if you tell me
i'm so sick of fights
i hate them
let's start this again
for real
So here i am
i'm trying
so here i am
are you ready?
So here i am
i'm trying
so here i am
are you ready?
[Chorus x2]
I've been here before
a few times
and im quite aware
we're dying
I found a lot of videos and tabs where making a common mistake in the main rift of this song, although it sounds perfectly fine when playing, you can see when Tom plays it live that he plays it slightly differently. Hop you enjoy
