*This ending just kinda lost me and goes on a bit.
Normally I tab until the bitter end but many people
have sent in requests for this and are wating for it
so I'm just posting it as is. Hopefully when the Cd is 
released this song will have a simpler ending (not a 
drag it out while Melanie gets ready for the next song
ending...) then I'll update to match the studio version :)
****One more note*****
When I started tabbing this I had this progression below 
chorded out and decided to change it to the simpler one
I used above.  Sometimes I get the harmony in my head 
and start tabbing to that, but maybe this below is indeed
better.  Let me know :)
Em        B
You seem to replace
Em              Am
Your brain with your heart
Em             B
You take things so hard
Em       F#m
And then you fall apart
Em       B
You try to explain
Em           Am
But before you can start
Em       C
Those cry baby tears
Am         B               
Come out of the dark

 

 

 

 

Have fun!
