I'll Be (acoustic)

I'm a 100% sure in writing this tab. I can't demonstrate the strumming for you, so I 
that you just listen to the music.

Intro :  B, A

(Verse 1)
B                       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
B                        Bb   Ab
Stop me and steal my breath
B
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
B                        Bb    Ab
Never revealing their depth

Pre-Chorus:

B    Bb      Ab         Bb
Tell me that we belong together
B         Bb          Ab           Bb
Dress it up with the trappings of love
B        Bb          Ab             Bb
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
B                             Bb                     Ab    Bb
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

(Chorus 1)
         B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     B         Bb   Ab
     I'll be loves suicide
     B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     I'll be better when I'm older
     B             Bb      Ab         B         B-Bb-Ab
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life

(Verse 2)
    B(STOP)
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
B                      Bb    Ab
As we lie awake in my bed
B                     E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
You're my survival, you're my living proof
B                      Bb    Ab
My love is alive not dead

Pre-Chorus:

B     Bb      Ab          Bb
Tell me that we belong together
B        Bb            Ab           Bb
Dress it up with the trappings of love
B         Bb              Ab        Bb
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
B                            F#                      Ab   Bb
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

(Chorus 2:)

         B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     B         Bb   Ab
     I'll be loves suicide
     B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     I'll be better when I'm older
     B             Bb      Ab         B         B-Bb-Ab
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life


Abm
And I've dropped out, burned up,
F#m                          E
fought my way back from the dead
Abm
Tuned in, turned on,
F#                              E     Asus4    F#
remembered the thing that you said
(Chorus 3:)

 B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     And I'll be your crying shoulder
     B         Bb   Ab
     I'll be loves suicide
     B       E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
     I'll be better when I'm older
     B             Bb      Ab         B         B-Bb-Ab
     I'll be the greatest fan of your life
