This song was played in the movie Reality Bites and it was the actor
Ethan Hawke who sang it. I really like this song. But in the movie
he just plays VERSE 1 and then the CHORUS/OUTRO. The first chorus,
which was not played in the movie, has totally different chords
than the CHORUS/OUTRO. Enjoy!

When you're playing the A augmentedA chord, most of the time
you should play it like this:

  A augmentedA     A*     A augmentedA     A*  A augmentedA
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------|
BB|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|
G+G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|
D MajorD|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|
A augmentedA|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------|

It's played like that in all the verses and the intro.
The only comfortable way to play this is to use your
index finger to play the A augmentedA chord, then when you play the
A* you can just hammer on the D MajorD and BB strings with your
middle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does.

When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just means
play the D MajorD chord but throw in the Dsus2Dsus2 a bit. A augmentedA lot
of times he plays A augmentedA and then throws in a Asus2Asus2 for
instance.

OK, then you should be ready to play the song.
