This is my first tab. It sounds a little different to the actual version but I played it
a school concert and everyone loved it so hopefully you will too.

You can play this with the capo in either the 1st or 2nd fret. Whichever you want. The 
stay the same just play them in relation to wherever you're putting the capo!

VERSE 2:
Let him know that you know best, cause after all you do know best,
Try to slip past his defense, without granting innocence,
Lay down a list of what is wrong, things you told him all along,
And pray to God he hears you, and I pray to God he hears you and...


CHORUS


VERSE 3:
As he begins to raise his voice,
you lower yours and grant him one last choice,
drive until you lose the road, a break with the one you followed,
He will do one of two things, you will admit to everything,
Oh can't say he's just not the same, and you begin to wonder why...
