What is this?
Mxtabs [http://www.mxtabs.net]
sick of reading tabs that are wrong, this is a great song and should be done fair justice.

Capo 5th fret/

If you look, there is a difference between the F chords, in the first verse, jonny uses the bar chord which is

F
e-1
B-1
G-2
D-3
A-3
E-1

however, straight after the first chorus, he uses this

F#
e-0
B-6
G-0
D-7
A-8
E-8

at the end of the chorus, the G chord appears, make sure that you use the Bar chord, or it sounds out of key.

G-3
e-3
B-3
G-4
D-5
A-5
E-3

there are also two different \\'Csus\\' chords.
after the chorus, the main riff is played through twice, at the end of the first time through, he uses Csus2
but at the last one, he uses Csus1, Csus2 is only used once in the whole song. if you listen to the album version, you will hear this is 100% right., then you\\'ll be able to pick it out.

Csus1 Csus2
e-0 e-0
B-1 B-0
G-0 G-0
D-0 D-2
A-3 A-3
E-3 E-3


The only other thing you may not understand is ,in the normal version, there are distortion riffs,
after the second chorus, and the \\'C^\\' chord appears, all you need to do is bend the D string, which you should
have your middle finger on, down on the third strum of four. only do this on C^, or it sounds wrong

Am F C C Csus1
Come up to meet you, tell you I\\'m sorry, you dunno how lovely you are

Am F C Csus1
I had to find you, tell you I need you, tell you I\\'ve set you apart...

Am F C C Csus1
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions, and oh let\\'s go back to,the start

Am F C C Csus1
Running in circles, coming up tails, heads on a silence apart


F C
Nobody said it was easy, it\\'s such a shame for us to part

F C G
nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard...

**S-I-L-E-N-T**

...oh take me back to the start.

Am, F#, C, C, Csus2
AM, F#, C, C, Csus1

Am F# C C Csus1
I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling your puzzles apart.

Am F# C C Csus1
Questions of science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart,

Am F C C Csus1
so tell me you love me, or come back and haunt me, oh and I rush to the start,

Am F C C Csus1
running in circles, chasing our tails, coming back as we are....


F C
Nobody said it was easy, it\\'s such a shame for us to part

F C G
nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard...

*Delay G chord*

...I\\'m going back to the start.

Am, F#, C^, C^, Csus1
Am, F#, C^, C^, Csus1


Am, F#, C^, C^, Csus1
Oh - ooooh

Am, F#, C^, C^, Csus1
Ah - oooh

Am, F#, C^, C^, Csus1
Oh - oooh

*strum quietly*

Am, F, C.
Ah - oooh
