Chorus: 01:50 ? 02:21.

between the chord patterns and add some normal strums with the palm-mutes.

Phase 1: 02:38 ? 03:10. 
========

be too tiresome for me to tab the whole thing out.

- After the last C there?s a highly syncopated muted strum pattern (it?s  
is approximately the same as the usual 16 strums or so? i.e. A A). 
 
L: If the world stops turning, girl you better not stop when I say. 
L: And there ain?t nothing you could do to count me, count me down. 
 
- Do this three times.

Chorus: 04:24 ? 05:29. 
======= 
- No palm-mutes, more open notes strumming and stronger playing. 
- Play it twice. So, after the ?...my love...? part, don?t hang the C  
first time around. 
-When the Chorus is repeated, you can even hear the open e-string being strummed, but I  
to not play it. 
 
L: Did somebody take your tongue? 
L: In worries of the words that you couldn't say (that you wouldn?t 
   save) them from. 
L: But I don't wanna sleep without... 
L: So I bid to you goodnight. 
L: Tonight sleep tight, my love. 
(Repeat) 
 
End with *F.
