This is an awesome acoustic song! Hope this helps. The other tab was
essentially correct, however, it's a lot easier if played this way:
Be sure and drop your guitar down 1/2 step.
Chords you'll need:
Intro/Verses:
E5 D5 G Asus2
Eb ------- ------- ---3--- -------
Ab ---7--- ---5--- ---2--- -------
Db ---9--- ---7--- ------- ---2---

Verse 1:
E5 D5 G Asus2 E5 D5 G-Asus2
When you bring me to my knee, all this time that I can beg you please.
E5 D5 G-Asus2 E5 D5 G-Asus2
All the times that I've felt so insecure, and I leave my burdens at the door.
Chorus:
E G
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
D Asus2
I can see through you, see your true colors
E G
Inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me
D Asus2
I can see through you, see the real you.
Play the intro twice
Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
All this time, that I felt that this won't end, was for you.
And I taste, but I could never have, it's from you.
All those times, that I tried, my intention, full of pride.
And I waste, more time than anyone.
Chorus
Play intro twice
Verse 3 (same chords as verse 1 and 2)
All the times, that I've cried, all this wasted, it's inside
and I feel, all the pain, stuffed it down, it's back again.
And I lie, here in bed, all alone, I can't mend
And I feel, tommorow will be OK, but I know
Chorus
End on Asus2
This plays exceptionally well with the recording, just remember to
tune your stick down 1/2 step!!! Play it a few times and you'll get that
little G-Asus2 quick chord change. You can play the G and the A as 5th
chords, but I think it sounds better in open chords. Email me if you have
any questions, comments, or snide remarks.
