Text File

Album: It was a seperate release from what the album i bought from itunes
Tuning: DADGBD (dropping High E to D isn't really necassary as you don't even need to 
that string, just adds a nice sound)

Intro: Song fades in, so you could just sart from the chord before he sings, but i've 
my best to get the whole fade in bit

A[---5555555--/------5555-/---------99999--\--5555---/9999-(dunno why he adds that note)-5555-/--9999--|
D[---0000000--/------5555-/---------99999--\--5555----0000-------------------------------5555-/--9999--|

  "i don't know.."...."different"    "it's geting.."   "and i don't know if you"

For the bit where he sings "the things that keep me alive keep me alone" it's this 
call it a chorus)


d[--0000----------0000---------------0000------------0000-------000-----------------------------------|
B[----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G[----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D[--0000-------\--0000---------/-----0000-------\----0000-------000-----------------------------------|
A[--9999-------\--5555---------/-----9999-------\----5555-------555-----------------------------------|
D[--9999-------\--5555---------/-----9999-------\----5555-------000-----------------------------------|

   "the things.."   keep me alone"     "they're things.."       "keep me alone"

Right so that's the bits, i don;t think it changes much through the song, but even if it
and i havn't tabbed it, you can work it out from this. I got this by listening and
video, so should be good, nice song have fun [playin it. Email me at 
if you have any questions or even corrections.

thanks
