He doesn't play this.. He repeats the same riff without the bass notes. If you want to
play what he does, replace the bass notes by (xx7xxx). You can simply play (079900)
and then move on to the verse, like he did on 01-06-09.

Intro
(1) Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late
(1) Over you
I'm never over
Over you
Something about you
It's just the way you move
The way you move me
(2) I'm so good at forgetting
And I quit ever game I play
But forgive me, love
I can't turn and walk away
(Intro)
(1) Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
With your silhouette
(2) Should have smiled in that picture
If it's the last that I'll see of you
It's the least that you
Could not do
(3)
Leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
Leave the light on
For me too (4)
(5) Back to me
I know that it comes
Back to me
Doesn't it scare you
Your will is not as strong
As it used to be
(5) I'm swimming in a sea of faces
trying to float my way to you
but it's no use
in a crowded room
where everybody wants you
