The bass actually echoes most of the melody in the song, so it can sound a little wack on an acoustic guitar. Try walking the E up to the A on the "good things and bad" parts to fill things out a little bit. Verse: E B E A2->A Seen all good things and bad

^Erunning ^Bdown ^Ethe ^A2hill ^EAll ^Bso ^Ebattered and ^Abrought to the ^Eground ^B ^E ^A2 E B E A2->A I am hungry again ^EI am ^Bdrunk ^Eagain ^A2 ^EWith all ^Bthe ^Emoney I ^Aowe to my ^Efrien^Bds ^E

Pre-chorus:

^AWhen ^G#mI'm ^F#mlike ^E5this ^BHow can ^Ayou be ^G#msmiling, ^F#msaying

Chorus (inhale deeply!):

^EHo-^Bo-^Ew ^Acan you be sure' ^EHo-^Bo-^Ew ^Acan you be sure'

Verse: If you walk out that door, will I see you again if so much of me lies in your eyes' I am hungry again, I am drunk again With all the money I owe to my friends Pre-Chorus Chorus x2 Chorus (instrumental) Chorus w/ "I don^Òt want you anymore" vocals overdubbed end Notes on the chords: I'm not sure what to call the B that I hear in the song, but I think it might be a B5. It's fingered thusly; essentially just a power chord. e--X--- B--0--- G--4--- D--4--- A--2--- E--X--- Also, the A2->A is accomplished through a hammer-on, like so: e--0---2-2 B--0---0h2 G--2---2-2 D--2---2-2 A--0---0-0 E--0---0-0 I think the G#m employed in the chorus is played with some open strings: e--0 B--0 G--4 D--6 A--6 E--x And finally, the E5 in the chorus is played like an open D, but barred up 2 frets (kinda like how you might play an Eb) e--x B--5 G--4 D--2 A--2 E--0 --
