The other tab didnt sound right, this is how i think howie actually plays it. The 
picking pattern is pretty much play the top few strings with your thumb and the 
bottom ones with your finger... it is easy to figire out when you listen to it.


Capo 3


Intro:

F-C-Am-G

Verse:

F                      C                      Am               G
We had it all we were, young lovers, we were full of trust and faith
We were dead set on makin' it last forever, forever and a day.
I recall it was fall last year when, it started to die.
You stand still as the temperature kills, the summer strokes that were keeping it alive.


Pre-chorus:

Dm          Am           G               Dm     Am          G
The day got colder so I held you closer, in an effort to save us from time,
Almost like the wind came and ruined the spark and left us in the dark.


Chorus:

    Am            C                             F
But hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stay, 
          C            C/G                Am
around to rekindle the fire but I was late,
      C                              F
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
C/G           Am
And I am a liar,
        Dm         Am     C
I'm no longer what you require.



Verse:

See, I still feel you at night, turning in the sheets when I turn out the light
It's how it goes, the ghost of your first love wont ever leave you til the day that you die


Pre-chorus:

I wont ever live down leaving her behind even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing staring me right in the face but I turned and ran away.


Chorus:

I coulda told you that I loved you and stay,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
Cause I am a liar,
I'm no longer what you require.


Bridge:

Dm		
Back then the days were so much faster,
Am                                         C            F
we were young stubborn and in love with disaster.
Dm
You know you cant go back even if you try,
Am                                         C		
you better just forget it wont you close the door on me
                        F
cause it will never be the same
                                      Dm       Am        C
it will never be the way it was before

Dm       Am       C


Chorus:

But hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stayed,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late,
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar,
well hey- I coulda told you that I loved you and stay
around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar I'm no longer what you require.
And im no longer what you require
