Hello everyone! I was trying to figure out the new song Picture Frames which can
currently only be found on here => http://www.tape.tv/vid/138861 but it turned out to be rather
difficult especially when Luke plays some variations and I am hoping that someone who's 
better at playing the guitar might figure it out with the help of my tab.
Here's what I've got so far. I'm happy for any sort of suggestions! Please leave them in
the comments below!

The Kooks - Picture frame

Chords:
Em [0 2 2 0 0 0] I know he sometimes doesn't only play Em but I can't figure out which
variations he's playing...help, anyone?
Em* [x 0 0 4 5 3]
Bm [x 2 4 4 3 2]
Abmaj7 [4 x 5 5 7 x]  Luke first slides down on the E-string to the 4th fret, then plays
[4 x 5 5 x x] and then strums again when he put his finger down on the 7th fret of the B-string
G [3 5 5 4 3 3]
G* [3 0 0 0 0 3]
C [x 3 2 0 1 0]
F# [x 4 4 3 2 2] this sounds a little too pure to my ears, maybe he also plays some
variation of this chord?!
Am [0 0 2 2 1 0]
Dm [x 0 0 2 3 1]


Intro: (it definately needs some amending)
Em  Bm  Abmaj7  G
Em  C  Bm  Abmaj7  G  Em


C        F#                Bm
I didn't notice anything strange
           Abmaj7                   G    Em(+variations)
'Bout the picture in your picture frame
         C         F#               Bm
It was drawn of a fountain in your body
             Abmaj7             G
Bought for a fiver it was probably
               Em?
Didn't mean a lot to me
     Am                       Em
You tell me that you'd never sell this
      Am               Em
That life itself is within this
            Am                 Em
That the artist himself was beneath this
    Dm                                   G*
And I looked at the sky to worship the ground
                                   C
And you never asked for nothing at all
        G*                            Am
But you asked me to come in from the cold
        Em                  Dm             Em*       Dm    G
And to warm her bed as she folds me and unfolds me again
 C              F#         Bm
Time will make fools of us all
                  Abmaj7         G     Em(+variations)
It's time to find meaning or control
       C          F#             Bm
Every time we go out now she pretends
                    Abmaj7       ??????
Pretends we're not lovers just friends
        Em?
And it gets to me
     Am                      Em
She tells me the meaning of life is
   Am                   Em
To be happy and to give up loss
     Am                              Em
But you've never lost something you loved
   Dm                                  G*
I turn around how could I be angry at her?
                                    C
When she never asked for nothing at all
        G*                            Am
But she asked me to come in from the cold
       Em                  Dm              Em*       Dm         Em*       Dm
And to warm her bed as she folds me and unfolds me again and unfolds me again
       G*                        C
And I never asked for nothing at all
     G*                            Am
Even as the wolves glowered at my door
         Em             Dm             Em*       Dm         Em*       Dm
And I'll do my best to fold her and unfold her again and unfold her again
         G*                        C
And she never asked for nothing at all.
