Great song. I found a better way to play this than the tabs that were already on UG, and
thought I'd share it with you guys.
I believe, that with this tab you can play very close to the original song, without
being a guitar god in any way.
Listen to the song and figure out the strumming pattern, it's real easy.
I didn't know what the sus-variations of the Amaj7 and F#m chords are called, so I just
named them "Amaj7" and "F#m". See the diagram below.
Have fun

[Intro]
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E x 2
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Was it a huntsman or a player
Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7
That made you pay the cost
F#m "F#m" F#m
That now assumes relaxed positions
E A
And prostitutes your loss?
A Asus4 A
Were you tortured by your own thirst
Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7
In those pleasures that you seek
F#m "F#m" F#m
That made you Tom the curious
E A
That makes you James the weak?
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
[Chorus]
E A-Asus4-A-Asus2
And you claim you got something going
E A-Asus4-A-Asus2 D
Something you call unique
D A-Asus4-A-Asus2 E
But I've seen your self-pity showing
E A-Asus4-A
As the tears rolled down your cheeks
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
[Verse]
Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cos I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind
So con, convince your mirror
As you've always done before
Giving substance to shadows
Giving substance ever more
[Chorus]
And you assume you got something to offer
Secrets shiny and new
But how much of you is repetition
That you didn't whisper to him too
