Verse 1 (tried to take a picture of love...) (if you have a band and you're gonna play
song, you can just use the guitar in clean guitar mode and do this. You don't have to use
unless you want to. Most likely, the bass does the E (E--0--), A (A--0--), C# (A--4--) parts):

Chorus 1: (as simple as this):
E B
Maybe we're trying, trying too hard.
C#m
Maybe we're torn apart.
Asus2
Maybe the timing, is beating our hearts.
(do intro)
We're empty.
Verse 3 (and I even wonder if we...):

Chorus 2 (different from chorus 1) (do this as soft as you can, but enough to hear it of
Note: still clean guitar, no distortion yet) (note: the number below in the chorus is
(eleven) not 1 (one))

Do chorus 3 three times then do the chord E to and let it fade away. There is an extra
to the end by Joe Guese only on the e string. There's a little bit of delay here:
E-16-12-
But if you don't have a delay pedal, do this:
E-16-16-12
This is it. Hope you like it. I'm not sure it's correct, but when you do this on the
(specifically electric), it will sound like the real thing.
