Feel free to ask my any questions, as this is my first completed tab and Im still
on it, but I feel that it's worth presenting

It's from this video, a live, acoustic version, so if compared with the album version
tab might be off time wise

 Youll continue with the alternating Gs and thats the verse, the 2nd guitar strums a G
occasionally and I think he might strum a C too, its kind of hard to tell

Those chords are for the chorus and the beginning as well, I think he ends on a G, its a
short G, because the Cmaj7 is played for most of the measure, and from that G he goes
into the alternating Gs

This part below is what Chuckie plays, I guess in-between verses, its not hard to notice.

 This part mirrors Ians lyrics (I love your face the way it moves) I havent been able to
it out completely, so this is the best I can come up with, but it should work

The last two notes could instead be played with a G chord at the end, if you want

 I just realized Chuckie plays something like this, that F# is distinctly in there. I
it at:34 seconds. At first I thought it was a D chord, but it didnt sound right, so this
what I came up with
