Kudos to Bhammertime - I leaned on much of their tab.

x = strum muted strings

\ = Slide down (in outro)

I use Power Chords throughout the thing.


Verse 1:

 Ab   Ab Bbm
"Time to go, this is goodbye," she said
         Gb
"Does it ever get easier to live like this?"
Bbm
And kiss the cheek
             Gb
Well I can't kiss you anymore
    Bbm                  Gb
And I, I would honestly love you now
    Bbm               Gb
But I would lovingly let you down

Verse 2:

Bbm                     Gb
I could put my trust in giving up the heart
                  Bbm
It makes the difference
                       Gb
And how can you afford to settle down
     Bbm                   Gb

But I would lovingly let you down

If you play acoustic and prefer full chord, you could
make things easier by sticking a capo on VI
(and transpose -6, of course).

The basic trick is making the key your "G".
So, put the capo on "Key Fret on the E-String" - 3
