Now if you look at the intro version its that but with the rest of the song
on it.

Intro/Chorus:
e|-----7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------|
B|---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---7---5---5---5---5-----|
G|-7-------7-------6-------6-------5-------5-------4-------4---|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|

On the second one you switch the last 7 on the e,
for a five like this:

e|-----7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------5-----5-|
B|---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---7---5---5---5---5-----|
G|-7-------7-------6-------6-------5-------5-------4-------4---|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse: If you listen to the song,
you will understand
Am E this bit
e|--O-----x----|----------|
B|--1-----x----|----------|
G|--2-----1----|----------|
D|--2-----2---2-O---------|
A|--O-----2-------2-O-----|
E|--O-----O-----------O---|

Then into the verse before the pre is this
C G A#m
e|----3------3-------5--|
B|----3------3-------5--|
G|----5------4-------5--|Then go back to the first part of the the
D|----5------5-------7--|verse on the first verse, if that makes
A|----3------5-------7--|sense.
E|----3------3-------5--|


Pre: E
e|----O-O-O-O--|
B|----O-O-O-O--|
B|----O-O-O-O--|
D|----2-2-2-2--|
A|----2-2-2-2--|
E|----O-O-O-O--|

After the second chorus, i think?, play this.And play it at the end.

e|-----9--12-9----14----12-12-----------9-12---9-----|
B|-----9--12-9----14----12-12-x8-then---9-12---9--x2-|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

I thought it was quite hard at first so take it steady, on the intro/chorus i mean.

| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x dont play

other tab but this is all right

G|-7-------7-------6-------6-------5-------5-------4-------4-------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse (Just improvise Am and E - here is my favourite)
e|------0--------------0------------------|
B|------1--------------0------------------|
G|-0h2--2--------------1------------------|
D|-0h2----2---0h2--0h2---2-2-2p0--------0-|
A|--------0--------0h2---2-2-----2p0----0-|

Listen to the song or do whatever sounds good to you

Verse Riff (listen for timing)
"I write this now while I'm in control..."
"I'd run my fingers through your hair..."

C G F Em

Prechorus (I seperated it from above because it doesn't always
follow them)
E

Bridge
e|-7h9--12--9--14-14-14-14\12-12-| I think 8 times, listen for
B|-9----12--9--14-14-14-14\12-12-| timing; i dont have access to
G|-------------------------------| the song on this pc, then:
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

e|-7h9--12--9----7h9--12--9--|
B|-9----12--9----9----12--9--|
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

Outro play bridge and then:

e|-12h14--12--9----12/14--12--0--|
B|-12-----12--9----12/14--12--9--|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
the last notes can also be played as a bigger E chord:

e|-0-|
B|-9-| just keep that open e or it wont sound right
G|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|---|

also, there is a weird bleeping in some of the choruses,
i think it's a keyboard but if you want you can play e|-12-|
its picked 2 notes together at a time
