I've tried best I can to transcribe the piano part for this song for
guitar. It's a pretty smooth sweet song to play. The interlude is described
without tab, unfortuantely I have too much homework to do to tab that out,
but it's pretty simple.

The interlude (with is also the ending) is simply alternating between
the C and G chords. Finger pick them out in a similar fashion as above.
Second Verse:
I want somebody who cares
for me passionately
with every thought and with every breath
someone who'll help me see things in a different light
all the things i detest i will almost like
I don't want to be tied to anyones strings
I'm carefully trying to stay clear of those things
but when I'm asleep, i want somebody
who will put their arms around me kiss me tenderley
though things like this, make me sick
in a case like this
I'll get away with it
interlude fade out
