Chords with lyrics
The verses are difficult because there's no lead guitar, but I'll put some sort of chords for them anyway.
Also you don't have to put the A minorAm in, I don't think Rob does, but it makes a nice extra flourish I guess.
And the chords aren't in the exact place above the lyrics but hey it does the job. :)

The guitar solo is pretty easy so I'll just add it here. If you don't want to play the solo just play the
chorus chords.
