I haven't yet seen this song anywhere so I thought I would write it up. What I
have come up with isn't at all complete. There is more to this song, but I
think these chords will start you guys up. I heard this song on the Howard
Stern show. It was in an acoustic version, which made it easier to hear the
guitar, but it's all the same as the album. I know this transcription of mine
is not "Perfect", but any corrections, comments, and embarrassments are
welcomed :) It's also my first transcription so give me a break! :-)

It's all basically these two chords:

C#C# x46664
Bbm? x13321 (I'm not sure this is the right name of the chord)

Intro: C#C# - BbmBbm : Play these two chords and just keep going until the verse.
(I think everyone should listen to the song when playing because I may be off
on the chord changes and on the timing.)

(Verse 1)
-------------------------------
C#C#   BbmBbm          C#C#   BbmBbm        C#C#
I know we're just like...
BbmBbm          C#C#     BbmBbm
C#C#    BbmBbm     C#C#    BbmBbm          C#C#
BbmBbm               C#C#   BbmBbm

Chorus?(I think this is where the chorus starts)
C#C#       BbmBbm               C#C#    BbmBbm
But please you know...
C#C#      BbmBbm          C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#
BbmBbm           C#C#  BbmBbm       C#C#
BbmBbm     C#C#    BbmBbm
C#C#   BbmBbm           C#C#    C#C#
C#     BbmBbm           C#C#   BbmBbm  C#C#  BbmBbm

(Verse 2)
-----------------------------
C#C#   BbmBbm            C#C#  BbmBbm            C#C#
BbmBbm
Angel you know...
    C#C#      BbmBbm

Chorus? (I still don't know if this is where the chorus starts:)
C#C#      BbmBbm            C#C#     C#C#
So please...
C#C#      BbmBbm          C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#
BbmBbm           C#C#   BbmBbm         C#C#    BbmBbm C#C# BbmBbm
C#C#
BbmBbm            C#C# BbmBbm            C#C#  BbmBbm
    C#C#  BbmBbm
C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#    BbmBbm  C#C#

That's it. Enjoy! :-) Jenn
