There is a slight delay between
the sliding base and the strum.          On the last pick stroke also slap.

PRE-CHORUS: (the part where he goes I want to live in the center of a circle)

He is alternating between A5sus5 and G. herese the way to play them:

  A5sus4     G+G
e  x      x
A augmentedA  x      x
D MajorD  7      4
G+G  7      5
BB  7      5
E MajorE  5      x

Chorus: (home life, been hoding out for a home life)

John continually strums this F5F5 chord puling of the BB string to the open string.

E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB e
1 3 3 0 1 x
    p0


!! At the end of the chorus he strums the F5F5 chord twice and slides this shape 2 frets up and strums again. !!


Bridge:
F5F5
I can tell you this much

II will marry just once
      C majorC
And if it doesn't work out

Give her half of my stuff
A augmentedA
It's fine with me
     Dsus2/B
We said eternity
F5F5
And I will go to my grave

With the life that I gave
        C majorC
Not just some melody line

On a radio wave
   A augmentedA
It dissipates
      Dsus2/B
And soon evaporates
      F5F5
But home life doesn't change
