This chart is for the live version of the song. The song is on Live From SoHo (available from
iTunes). A video of the live performance is also available on YouTube. From studying the video
it looks like KT Tunstall uses some chords, at least when performing the song live, that are
easier to play than some of the chords suggested in previous charts.
This chart corrects an error on my earlier submission. Em and Em/G are correct.
