Bm                        F#aug
  You will find no wicked way in me
Em              F#
  Look me over, you will see
Bm                  F#aug
  You will find, no weary a change

Em               F#
  Memories slide out of place
Bm                           F#aug
  All those things that were hidden away
Em                    F#
  Ain?t so bad in the light of day

I'm no Angel, that's for sure

Said you forgave me each time I was caught,
Em                        F#
But you still paint me as something I'm not

Notes
=====

Tab in the chorus follows a similar sort of pattern:

  G             F#m           F#              Bm   A (rake both)
e|-------------|-------------|---------2----|-2----0----|
B|-------3-----|-------2-----|-------2------|-3----2----|
G|----4--------|----2--------|----3---------|-4----2----|
D|-------------|-------------|--------------|-4----2----|
A|-------------|-------------|--------------|-2----0----|
E|-3-----------|-2-----------|-2------------|-----------|

  G (rake)   F#m           F#             Bm   A (rake both)
e|-3-------|-------------|---------2----|-2----0----|
B|-3-------|-------2-----|-------2------|-3----2----|
G|-4-------|----2--------|----3---------|-4----2----|
D|-5-------|-------------|--------------|-4----2----|
A|-5-------|-------------|--------------|-2----0----|
E|-3-------|-2-----------|-2------------|-----------|

  G (Rake)   F# (Strums)
e|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|
B|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|
G|-4-------|-3---3---2-2--|
D|-5-------|-4---4---4-4--|
A|-5-------|-4---4---4-4--|
E|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|

If just strumming instead of picking the notes, I think it sounds better to go F#m to F#7.
