CHORD LIST: C -------> X32010 C/G -----> 332010 Fm6 -----> xx0111 Fm6/Ab --> 430111 F/G -----> 3x3210 E7 ------> 020100 E/G# ----> 4x245x or 000100 (much easier, but doesn't sound as good) Am7 -----> x02010 Am ------> x02210 G -------> 320033 Dm7 -----> xx0211 STANDARD TUNING; CAPO 1. Capo 1 matches song, I personally like Capo on 2 though. Also, at the bottom, I'll put an easier version built off this one for any beginners. You should also check out some fingerstyle versions of this song, which are pretty sweet. VERSE 1

I ^Cu-sed to thi-nk that I- could no--^Fm6t, go o---n, and ^Cli-fe was no-thing bu-t an aw--fu^Fm6l so----ng. But ^Cno-w I kno-w the mea-ning o-f, tr^Fm6ue lo---ve. C Fm6 I'm lea-ning o-n the e-verla--sting a-------rms.

PRECHORUS

^E7If I can ^Am7s-ee i--t, Fm6/Ab then I can d-o i--t. (second time around, he says 'be' instead of 'do') If I just ^C/Gbelieve i--t, there's nothing ^F/Gt-o i--t. ^G

**above (instrumental) is actually a nine note scale, but I couldn't really figure out how to play it. I think it might be a dorian scale. I play a D dorian scale cus it goes nicely with capo on 2, and play a C/G chord as the 9th note, which is the same C/G chord above "Hu--m." e|-----------------0-| B|---------------1-1-| G|---------0-2-3---0-| D|-----1-3---------2-| A|-3-5-------------3-| E|-----------------3-| SIMPLER VERSION Verses --> C - Fm6 PreChorus --> Am - Fm6 - C - G Chorus --> C - Am - Dm7 - G - Am - Fm6 - C - Fm6 - Am C2 Extension --> Dm7 - Am - G C3 Extension --> Fm6 - C x5
