This is my first tab! I figured out this by watching an acoustic version on youtube. I
know it isn't exact, but it is close.
standard tuning, no capo.
Em
When I opened that letter I realized
G Am7
this is nothing I wanted to see.
Em
Now I'm stuck with a pen and some paper,
G C5 (C5 is the start of the following figure)
and a headache with nothing to say
(This is the picking pattern used in the second half of the verse)
C5 G5 D3add4/F# Csus2 D4

G5 D3add4/F#
That day I left, you came and said to me
Csus2 D4
you were the only thing I wanted to believe.
G5 D3add4/F#
Now that I'm gone I wish that I could leave
Csus2 D4
I guess these things just aren't really the way they seem
Em G Cmaj7
What goes around goes around, I never thought I'd be this way.
Em G Cmaj7
You picked me up when I was down, I think I'll be okay
Cadd9
And I remember the day that I met you,
G A7sus4
yeah I remember those things that you said.
Cadd9
You told me that you would love me forever,
G A7sus4
and its girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
C5
(Same figure for the first verse applies to the second verse)
G5 D3add4/F#
I've been on the road so constantly,
Csus2 D4
I guess I may be forgetting you way too easy.
G5 D3add4/F#
But thats alright I hope you're feeling free
Csus2 D4
you got what you deserve now you can finally breathe.
C A7sus4 D
when I come around there don't even tell me that you're sorry
Em G Cmaj7
What goes around goes around, I never thought I'd be this way.
Em G Cmaj7
You picked me up when I was down, I think I'll be okay
Cadd9
And I remember the day that I met you,
G A7sus4
yeah I remember those things that you said.
Cadd9
You told me that you would love me forever,
G A7sus4
and its girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
Em
And when I see you again I'll be honest.
G Cmaj7
I'll be damned if you asked me to stay.
Em
And forgetting might make you forgive me.
G Cmaj7
But I know that it won't be the same.
G Cadd9 D (all plucked)
Em G Cmaj7
What goes around goes around, I never thought I'd be this way.
Em G Cmaj7
You picked me up when I was down, I think I'll be okay
Cadd9
And I remember the day that I met you,
G A7sus4
yeah I remember those things that you said.
Cadd9

G A7sus4 Em
and its girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
G Cadd9 Em
yeah its girls like you that make me wish I never left there.
G Cadd9 G

Em Cadd9
Woah oh oh oh.
