I can't believe that no-one has tabbed this song so far! But here are the chords
The verses are basically E and G#m (with a little brush of F# just before changing
between the two (you can here it on the song) but I would say that if you are a novice then
just ignore the F#s in the verses (apart from the last one (which leads in to the chorus)
I spend ages lining up the chord names over the right lyrics - but in pasting it in to
this online submission for it sometimes messes about with that a bit - so apologies if
they appear a tiny bit off line - but I've tried!
Anyway - this is of Stay What You Are (in my opinion the only genuinely perfect thing in
this word). Peace, Ben
