Breakeven Acoustic chords by The Script

Chords with lyrics

The chords are played with a capo on the third fret but the picking sounds like no capo.
And no tabs really address that..
So this is how I do the picking combined with a capo.

E MajorE|----------6-------------------------------------------|

Verse (1st part):

E MajorE|----------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------|
G+G|----3-----3-----3-----3--------3-----3-----3-----3--|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-10---10-----8-----8--------5-----5-----6-----6-----|
E MajorE|----------------------------------------------------|
# Some of the verse notes are played and octave higher because of the capo.


Rest of the chords from lillyo_o are good.
