Ok so I wanted to play this song exactly like Colbie and couldn't find any decent 
chord tabs for that, so I decided to tab this one myself...which took a lot of 
time (to get the chords all by ear) but, worth every second =)

PS: on the last chorus Colbie finger picks the strings instead of strumming but i 
haven't figured out the pattern yet
____________________________________________________________________________

First of all TUNING for this song is HALF STEP DOWN (D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,d#)

Chords used are: E F#m Abm B C#m Asus2

But they're not the simple chords, as Colbie uses some open forms of F#m, Abm, C#m 
and B. So I'll show you how to play every chord myself (C#m can be played both ways):

E (022100@1)  F#m (244222@1) Abm (133111@4)  B (x2444x@1)    C#m (x13321@4)  Asus2d#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---0--|--0--| (x02200@1)A#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---5--|--0--|
F#|--1--|--2--|--4--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--|
C#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--|
G#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--2--|--4---4--|--0--|
D#|--0--|--2--|--4--|-----|---------|-----|

Ok so here goes the song:

E (022100@1)F#m (244222@1)Abm (133111@4)B (x2444x@1)x2

E (022100@1)          F#m (244222@1)         Abm (133111@4)      BI (x2444x@1)think you took my heart away ----- when you said you're leaving
E (022100@1)             F#m (244222@1)        Abm (133111@4)    BCause' (x2444x@1)right now I am hurting ------- all over again
   E (022100@1)            F#m (244222@1)         Abm (133111@4)           BAnd (x2444x@1)I never thought that I'd be in these places on this day
E (022100@1)     F#m (244222@1)         Abm (133111@4)              B(strum (x2444x@1)once)
And now I don't know how much more that I can take



F#m (244222@1)                             Abm (133111@4)        I'm breaking at the cracks
F#m (244222@1)                             Abm (133111@4)

F#m (244222@1)                             Abm (133111@4)       
         It's another heart attack
F#m (244222@1)                             Abm (133111@4)        And I can't handle that
