The original track roughly consists of piano, bass and guitar but here is my all-guitar
rendition. Enjoy!
These guitar parts will also work nicely for the Madcon version. Guitar 1 is the rhythm
parts and Guitar 2 is the lead/melody parts.

I need you, to under stand... That I'm trying so hard to be your man
The tab is in chronological order, after the two intro pieces the song runs through the
choruses, verses and post-choruses before the outro. That last part is simply the second
part of the intro played over a few times. I hope that you found it helpful and accurate.
