This is a great song, if a little depressing.. I'm pretty sure I've got this
right, I can only think that theres a couple of variations you could play
around with through the verse and prechorus which are similar to the outro, eg:
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
E----------------------------|----------------------------| B--------0-------------0-----|--------0-------------0-----| G----------------------------|-------------------------0--| D-----2-------------2--------|-----2-------------2--------| A-------------2--3--------2--|-------------2--3-----------| E--0-------------------------|--0-------------------------|

G6 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7
E----------------------------|----------------------------| B--------0-------------0-----|--------0-------------0-----| G----------------------------|-------------------------0--| D-----0-------------2--------|-----0-------------2--------| A-------------2--3--------2--|-------------2--3-----------| E--3-------------------------|--3-------------------------|

This isnt the same in every verse and it changes through each line as to
what is actually played, so i havnt included in my tab. It sounds good
without, but if you want to play about with it, the above should be a start
for variation..
Feel free to comment; corrections and advice are welcome as i'd like to get
it to a tee myself.
Thanks guys :)
James.. TF<3
