Accurate to the song which is in F.
By F7/A I mean play F7 over a bass note of A. Same with Bb7/D in the key change. My
tab! Let me know what you think - tab@pavegraphics.com
F7/A: x03241
Bb/C: x33331
Bb7/D: xx0131
Dm/G: 3x0231 (dampen 2nd string with ring finger)
Dm7/C: x32211
Eb: xx1343
Some of these chords are quite a stretch and can probably be made easier to play with a
somewhere and different chord shapes but I haven't worked it out yet. Good finger
for you though! Have fun!

Break
F F7/A Bb Bb/C
Verse 2 same as verse 1
There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart
But it's no one's fault, no it's not our fault
And baby all the plans we made might not work out
But I have no doubt, even though it's hard to see
I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me
So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
Cause it's you and me together
And baby all we've got is time
So hold on to me, hold on to me tonight
