Tuning: Half step down.  Eb-Ab-C#-F#-Bb-Eb

This is the version 2 tab but I modifed it removing some of the mistakes.  
The tab was originaly pretty acurate but had a couple problems.  Instead of
restarting a hole new tab, I copied that one and inserted my changes.

Hope you like it!!!

Verse:
Em              Dsus2
A note by the door 
Am        
Simply explains
C
It's all that remains
Em               Dsus2 
It's no wonder why 
                    C    
I have not slept in days
Em                  Dsus2
  The dust on the floor
      Am 
Piled up from the years 
          C
All those scars and souvenirs
Em              Dsus2
Now that you're gone 
             C  
It's easy to see 

Prechorus
C		       Dsus2
But so hard to believe 

Chorus

Em     D
By the way
D                
You left without saying
     C   
Goodbye to me
               Em       D
Now that you're gone away 
D           
All I can think about is
C 
You and me 
You and me 

Intro riff x 1

Verse
Em               Dsus2
It's not like before 
     Am
You left nothing here 
      C
It's all disappeared 
Em            Dsus2
It hurts me to see 
                 C   
That we've been a lie 

Prechorus:

C			       Dsus2 
Would it have hurt you to try? 

Chorus:

Em      D
By the way 
D               
You left without saying 
    C
Goodbye to me 
                 Em    D
Now that you're gone away 
D
All I can think about is 
C
You and me 
You and me

Look out for the Bm in the outro
Seems okay like this.  Might still be a couple errors but I did my best to correct everything.

Enjoy!!
