Tuning: Standard
If you want to play and sing this song on acoustic, this is what I would suggest.
I strum as follows during the verses. This is just a guideline.  You'll want to 
change strumming pattern for the chorus.  Work with timing by listening to song
and playing what's comfortable for you.

Verse 1

E                                            B   A
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk,

E                                B  A
I didn't mean to call you that.

E                                                B  A
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me

E                        B A  
Please tell me, please tell me

My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on,

                       A             B
I came in through the window, last night,

           E              B  A
and your, gone,   gone.


Verse 2

E                                             B  A

E                                             B  A
The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette,

E                       B  A
Still burning, please tell me 


                        (Chorus: change up strumming)

Outro:
Verse strum pattern

E - B - A   x4 (hold last note.  Feel free to finish off with one more E)




This is really a simple song as far as the music goes. Timing the strumming
and singing simultaneously is the hardest part to get the hang of.
Have fun with this one!
