I find this is one of the best song I´ve heard for a long time and that Kate is a great
singer and excellent songwriter. I was really sad that I couldn´t find the tabs for this
song so I tried it on my own. It´s both easy and beautiful so enjoy !
And don´t be too critical this is my first tab ;)

The Verse and the Chorus are alway the same so you can figure it out very fast.
Lyrics:
you didn’t want me in your life and that’s fine
but you’ve got love why did you take mine?
you didn’t want to waste a fraction more of your time
on my endless reason and rhymes
but you’re the only person that i can stand to talk to for longer than this
please stop playing that melancholy melody on my heart strings
;cause i’ve been playing that melancholy melody on my heart and it sings
oh oh oh oh
you’re a little messed up with the way you’re thinking
it’s getting worse everytime your big eyes are blinking
remember when i told you about our boat sinking?
well i think you’re the only one left
and yet you’re the only person that i can stand to talk to for longer than this
please stop playing that melancholy melody on my heart strings
’cause i’ve been playing that melancholy melody on my heart and it sings
oh oh oh oh
