-Intro

The song basically start on a Gm with a Cm in there a la verse, with a bit
of soloing. The soloing is based around G note on the 3rd sting (xx5xxx) and
the C note on the 4th string (xxx5xx). It just messes around with a few
alternations in there, palm mutes and slides. Listen to it, its not hard to
figure out.

---

-Verse

Its a simple chord progression. There are palm mutes during some verses.


Gm(x3)                           Cm(x2)
What kind of love have you got?

Gm(x3)                           A#    Am
You should be home, but you're not

Gm(x3)                                   Cm(x2)
A room full of noise and dangerous boys

Gm               Cm(x2)       Gm(hold)
Still makes you thirsty and hot...


Repeat for all the verses...

For the second verse, the A#   Am  is plucked like:

B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|-----8-------7-------------------------------|
A|---8---8---7---7-----------------------------|
E|-6-------5-----------------------------------|
   A#      Am

-Pre Chorus

Right before the chorus, there is a chord change.

Gm               Cm(x2)                     Fm Gm 
A# (sliding)
How come you still got his gun in your hand?


-Chorus

A#                     Am          Gm
Victim of love , I see a broken heart

Gm       Cm           Gm    Fm Gm Am A#
You got your stories to tell

A#                     Am          Gm
Victim of love, it's such an easy part

Gm       Cm           Gm           (hold for drum bit, not loud though)
And you know how to play it so well


-Solo

The solo is basically the same as the intro, just with more consistency and
different notes for the chords. You can ad-lib this, nobody will be able to
tell.

---

Thats it. The verse is the same for most of the song, with a few ad-libs in
 it. The chorus may be a bit off, but its similar.
