NOTES ON PLAYING
I noticed on a lot of other chord sheets for this song that people were neglecting the F#m change in the last
part of the chorus, as well as some of the interval moments with the D to E progression. This version of the
chords is correct to play along with the music video version of the song, which is the same as the single
version on iTunes but NOT the same as the one from the "Linden Place EP" or the Acoustic Version, which
omit some of the changes and adds some bits.
You can play all of the chords as open chords bar the necessary barre chords, which are C#m and F#m. When
playing this acoustic, Titanic Sinclair plays most of them D's and E's open, and the A is pretty much always
open. However I've played this song through with all barres and with the least number possible, and it sounds
good either way - it is completely up to personal preference.

Hope this helps, and happy playing!
