The beginning part goes as such: -----------2------------------------------------------- ---0-2--5-----0-2--5-4---0----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Then for the chords are E- A- C#m- A The tab page has the prechorus as E- A- A- A - but I think that since it sounds sorta minor-ish, it should be as follows: ("Can't be held responsible. . ") part: C#m (plucked)- A %(repeated until chorus) The chorus is right on. have a great time with this song. I hope I was helpful.

I believe most of the tab is accurate, but any corrections are encouraged. The entire song is capoed on the 2nd fret, but I will tab it without consideration of the capo. So, -1- is actually -3-. And I didn't do the timing, but it's not hard if you've heard the song. Plus, I'm not too sure about the accuracy of the chord names, so go easy on me.

There is a post-chorus of sorts, but the guitar plays the same thing as the verse, so I won't bother tabing it out. It's where he sings "For the life of me..." Now it returns to the verse.

When Guitar World's tab came out this month, I thought "this is stupid." There were at least 2 guitars playing, and one had a capo behind the 2nd fret, and the other one played all these little fills. It was just really complicated. So I came up with my own version, which I think sounds as good if not better than the version as heard on the CD. Here it goes, no capo, no alternate tunings, no nonsense. Hope you like it!

If you don't like this version, you can always try the version in Guitar World, but don't come complaining to me if you can't figure out how to play 2 guitars at the same time, or you don't know how to use a capo. My version was actually written for a solo (1 guitar with vocals) Until next time! Visit the Verve Pipe at http://www.thevervepipe.com -Mark Griffith "Fear is your only god"
