2ND VERSE:  (played same as 1st Verse)

Beneath a Valentine I see a locket is shining
I think it must be the wine
Makes me feel it's all real
Where nothing seems to rhyme
To breathe life into the dust of a keepsake
I might as well try to fix a chain on a snowflake
Or a heartache
It must be the time of year

Notes:

-The tab is of the album version of the song (not the video/single edit).
-Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time.
-Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the
 downbeats (1234) fall.
-To play Bar 12 of the Outro Guitar Solo, have the volume turned down to 0
 on the pickup not being used. After bending the note (at the end of Bar
 11), flick the pickup selector switch up and down, causing the sound to
 cut in and out. If your guitar doesn't have a 3-way selector, just play
 the -[4-4-4-4]- part (in Bar 12) as individual notes.
-For more guitar tabs visit my website:
