This is version three of this tab. The first revision (#2) was to the tuning, and in this
revision I have added the intro and verse parts and changed some of the chorus chords
Intro:
e|-----3-------3-------3-------3--|
B|-3---x---3---x---3---x---3---x--|
G|-2---3---2---3---2---3---2---3--|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|
Verse 1 (repeat until Bridge):
e|-----------| The notes need to be
B|-3x3x3x3x3-| struck quickly and then
G|-2x2x2x2x2-| muted before the next
D|-----------| note to give a short and
A|-----------| sharp sound
E|-----------|
Bridge 1:
A#5 F#5 A#5 F#5
I guess you\'d call it cowardness
C5 G5 C5 A5
But i\'m not prepared to go on like this
Chorus 1:
e|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|

E|-6666666666666666\\3333333333333333/5555555555555555------| x1
(Verse 2, as verse 1)
Bridge 2:
A#5 F#5 A#5 F#5
You can call it lack of confidence
C5 G5 C5 A5
But to carry on living doesn\'t make no sense
Chorus 2:

B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------|
