I learned this song basically by listening to it and playing by ear and i think its 99.9% accurate so have fun playing.
Tuning: Regular
No Capo
If you wanna use chords with this it's basically Cadd9,G,Em,and Dsus2 with a capo on the 4th fret.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist, I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full of shit One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.

Update/Change Log
10/08/2012 Just created this guide but it’s not completed yet; only the intro is done. I have to find time off my studies to complete it. Meanwhile just enjoy the intro :P 29/08/2012 Song is finally done! Enjoy! 13/04/2013 Added YouTube video link because I realised my tabs on Ultimate Guitar were getting more views than my own Payphone cover!
READ FIRST!! ---> It was national day on the 9th of August and I was free so I decided to make this tab. You'll have to have some intuition when playing because the thing about tabs is that it’s not possible to write the exact timings of each note. I've tested the whole song already so if parts of the song sound weird, it’s probably because you're playing too slowly. Try to let the notes ring (leave your fingers on the notes and try not to let go) because that’s the way I play it. Feedback and corrections are always welcome :D
Here's the link to the Payphone cover I made using this arrangement. Feel free to watch it and use it as a guide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_HWSGwzheg
