Credit to the person who wacked the chords up,
I believe they are correct and have kept them
the same, I have just added in the tab for the
intro/chorus, which I hope is mostly correct.
I'm not great at tabbing, so apoligies if I'm
way off. I can put corrections in at another
time if either you, or I, notice any, but it
sounds pretty OK to me. I hope it's not too
difficult to read!
I think they play it a whole step down, or a whole
step down with capo on 7 (capo 5 in standard).
I have linked videos at the bottom of them playing
it both ways.

A
We'll sing love songs about heartbreak, and grief,
G
Sing it's not just music, but the pain's not brief.
A
We sing, how your love, is like a knife to the back.
G
Well I was stabbed and bleeding, but still begging for attack.
CHORUS:
(Start intro bit on slow and repeat x2)
But I was looking through slow, slow glass,
Looking though slow, slow glass.
A
Well I heard, you've been singing, I was, what I am.
G
Well I never tried to change you, honey I'm your biggest fan.
A
And I loved you back then, but I don't recognise you now.
G
Yeah in fact we're almost strangers, and I don't know how.
CHORUS:
(Start playing intro bit on slow and repeat x2)
but I've been looking through slow, slow glass
Yeah I've been looking though slow, slow glass
