The Intro – you start of with an open F chord 012300, with your little finger on the
3rd fret B string and you play this riff

Once you've done this you lift your little finger and begin strumming the introFAm x 2 then to the G before the lyrics start
GAmEm
Oh, Life is bigger…...It's bigger than you,
AmEm
and you are not me, the lengths that I will go to
AmEmDmG
The distance in your eyes, Oh no, I've sa-id too much…… I set it up

AmEm
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spot-light,
AmEm
Losing my religion, trying to keep, up, with you
AmEmDmG
And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough
F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
GAmFGAm
I thought that I heard you sing….. I think I thought I sa-w you try
GAmEm
Every whisper, of every waking hour,
AmEm
I'm choo-sing my confessions, trying to keep an eye on you
AmEmDmG
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much…..I set it up
AmEm
Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century
AmEm
Consider this, the slip, that brought me to my knees... failed
AmEmDmG
What if all these fantasies come, flailing around, now I've said, too much
F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
GAmFGAm
I thought that I heard you sing…… I think I thought I sa-w you try
At this point the song goes into the mandolin solo, and most tabs
Play this starting on the 12th fret, but it's easier playing it like this
you stay with the Am chord and play this little riff

FAmGAm
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, Dream
To end you end the verse with an Am chord again and just pick the high E string 7
times, then one downward strum on the Am, repeat this 4 times and end with the
little end riff, still on the Am chord
