Note the Dsus4: 

From the D chord simply hammer your pinky onto the 
high e string 3rd fret then remove it going back to 
the D, then hammer again, then remove and so forth.  
That pattern is noted throughout the song where I 
have 'D....'  It just means to do the hammer :)

          Bm
Something else 
                          G            
You should think of other people 
         D 
A little more

You shoulda thought of that before 
              A*    Bm*    A           
Cause of everything you’ve written down

She’s the only mother that you have

  I don’t know how long I have 
                        D
To keep reminding myself
                    G* 
To be who I want to be 
    D
And not somebody else
F#m                              Bm
  Just thought by now I’d figure out

You don’t find peace

Until you love somebody else

  1. Hi, nice job. I think you’ll find that playing the song with your Capo on the 3rd fret will make it sound more like the recording. The C to Csus4 progression is sounded on the D string, rather than the high E string.

    Here’s how I’m playing it — with chords inline so they show up in the right places —

    Note to [C]self, clean the living room [F]. Do the things you don’t [C]wanna do
    Maybe [Am]. fold that [G]week old pile of [F]clothes

    Note to [Am]self, don’t let yourself [F]worry quite as [C]much
    It’ll [F]end up fine e[C]nough, it always [G]has up [Am]until [C/B]now

    This is the [Dm]first note that you [Em]wrote for someone [F]else, note to [C]self

    [Em]. I don’t know how long I [Am]have to keep reminding myself
    [C]. To be who I wanna [G]be and not somebody else
    [Em]. Just thought by now I’d figure [Am]out the who and how I wanna [Dm]be [F]

    1. Thank you for critiquing a tab of mine! No one ever does and I get chords wrong all the time, lol! For this, I’m gonna keep it capo on one, but I did fix the incorrect progression I had in the chorus and another spot where I had the wrong chord. If you use- http://www.chordchanger.com/ you can copy this and paste it there and transpose away to whatever capo fits you :)

      HINT-
