I found a transcription of this song at Nevada, but it needed a capo. My
version doesn't. Also, my intro riff transcription is different.
Anyway, enjoy!

Another game....of putting things aside
As if we'll come....back to them sometime        (same chords as
A augmentedA brace of hope....a pride of innocence          1st verse)
And you would say....something has gone wrong

C majorC  D MajorD  B minorBm  E minorEm  D/F#bass  /  C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD  A/C#bass

(play above progression twice, with vocal 'ooh's and 'aay's)


   C majorC   G+G       D MajorD       C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
And again,  it seems we meet,  ...

Something's always wrong,  ...


(play INTRO Tab, then verse progression twice to close)

----

That 'A/C#bass' chord is played like this: x4222x , or add the 'A'
bass note, like so: 54222x. Also, leading into the chorus, try a
variation of opening up the treble strings, like this: 542000.


Cool song -- hope you like my arrangement!
